Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

From Dave Tomlinson,听writer and Vicar of St Luke鈥檚 Holloway in London:

听

Life is full of surprises鈥�. becoming a vicar was one of the biggest for my friends and family 鈥�.and me! Some surprises are wonderful 鈥� like discovering you鈥檙e having twins! Others not so much: suddenly losing a loved one or receiving a devastating diagnosis may feel unbearable.

听

Four years ago, our friend of ours named Sophie was told she only had a few months to live. It鈥檚 a long story but Sophie is still here, still living with cancer but on an incredible journey supporting an international network of people living with the disease.

听

She recently wrote about what she calls lifeshocks 鈥� unwanted, unexpected moments that blindside us and refuse to be ignored. These may not be massive life-changers like hers: just ordinary everyday disappointments 鈥� but collision points between life as we perceive it and life as it actually is.

听

The crunch thing, however, isn鈥檛 what happens to us but how we navigate our way through it. Lifeshocks, Sophie maintains, can be catalysts to make our life better because they bring things into clearer perspective, enable us to appreciate everything more. Now as many know, I am a bad Christian, I don鈥檛 always find good advice appealing. I want a way out of frustrating or painful circumstances; I don鈥檛 want to hear that they鈥檙e 鈥榗haracter-building鈥� or 鈥榞ood for the soul鈥�. But then Sophie鈥檚 life reminds me that we can either spend hours or weeks kicking against stuff we can鈥檛 change, or we get on with life one bit at a time.

听

In possibly the most life-affirming conversation I鈥檝e had, a man who鈥檇 suffered for decades said, 鈥楢ll things must pass, Dave 鈥� embrace what鈥檚 good, and don鈥檛 get too upset by what is challenging. Most pain comes from wishing things were different.鈥� I think surprises 鈥� pleasant or challenging 鈥� keep me awake on the inside, they stop me sleep-walking through life when its boring, or painful, or demanding, when I want to switch off. They seem to say 鈥榃ake up Dave. This is your life鈥very bit of it. Don鈥檛 miss a moment!
