Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

From Nick Baines, the Bishop of Leeds:

Do you know what it鈥檚 like when you get an entire soundtrack running round your head? I do. Maybe it鈥檚 got something to do with the strange times in which we live. It鈥檚 as if loads of the music in my memory now finds the space to peep out of the undergrowth and sniff the fresh air.

My kids will probably raise their eyes at this, but the loudest echo belongs to one Bruce Cockburn, a Canadian singer-songwriter very few people have heard of. He鈥檚 written all sorts of stuff over the last fifty years or more and some of it is fairly gritty. Then he does one with the great line: 鈥淒on鈥檛 forget about delight.鈥� When you find yourself in times of trouble - as someone else once sang - don鈥檛 lose sight of the nice stuff, the delight.

It鈥檚 not a bad idea is it? Because it鈥檚 too easy just to hear the bad news and find the imagination heading in the wrong direction. What the poets and musicians do is tease us to look at a wider horizon - to expand the range of possibilities beyond the 鈥榥ow鈥�. The thing about poetry is that, if you give a bit of time to thinking about words, it opens space for the imagination to get working.

I would say this, wouldn鈥檛 I? I read the Bible every day. It鈥檚 full of poetry and songs in which the writers express what lies deep within them. They don鈥檛 care too much about whether what they say is watertight morally all the time; they just get it out of their system and into the fresh air. Then readers can engage what being a human being looks and feels like to the poet - even if the poet lived and died three thousand years ago.

Most of us are going to need some routine during the weeks ahead. But, we also have a chance to do something new for which there normally isn鈥檛 time or space. Like reading a poem each day, for example. Or, how about trying to write my own? Get it onto paper and play with the words? Because when the news is not great, don鈥檛 forget about delight.
