Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From Dave Tomlinson, writer and vicar at large:聽
Yesterday, we returned from Umbria where I led a religious retreat in a beautiful Italian village, bathed in sunshine. I know鈥�..it鈥檚 a tough life being a priest! Among other things, we pondered poetry by American writer Mary Oliver, who died recently. Her poems gently marry her awe at the natural world with a deep sense of spirituality. For Oliver, there is no proof of God, but in moments of nature we get the best glimpses of Something beyond ourselves. She once said that she did her best to pursue a luminous life rather than a 鈥榟o-hum鈥� life. For her, a luminous life is one where we live in the world of ordinary things but awake to the wonder within them.聽
A ho-hum life, on the other hand, she saw as one where we shuffle through the days, pretty much oblivious to the magnificence all around. Last week, I decided it was time to cut the grass 鈥� following my neighbour telling me I probably needed a scythe! But when I reached for the electric lead for the mower on a shelf outside the shed, I was stunned to see a collared dove sitting on a clutch of eggs in a ramshackle nest perched on my electric cable. For a moment that felt like an hour, the dove and I gazed into each other鈥檚 eyes from a distance of about half a metre. The bird shuffled, but apparently, I was deemed ok, so I pulled up a seat and spent an extraordinarily happy few minutes contemplating this patient, nurturing mum (or dad).聽
I thought about Jesus inviting us to consider the birds who live free and unfettered by worries and concerns over schedules, social media or latest fashions. I once met a man who鈥檇 lived a ruthless, bullying life, constantly trying to bend the world to how he wanted it. After a wake-up call personal tragedy, his life changed. Everyday before work he would stop by a lake and watch the ducks and swans for 15 minutes, which he said calmed his spirit and helped him approach life more compassionately, less wilfully. For me, prayer isn鈥檛 head bowed, eyes closed but living attentively with life鈥檚 simple pleasures鈥�.like, if I get the chance: staring into the eyes of a mother dove.
