Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From the Reverend Kate Bottley:
I was never a winner at many things when I was a kid, but one thing I was completely brilliant at, was hide and seek. Being small of stature, I could squeeze myself into tiny places and remain surprisingly quiet for a very long time. The staying quiet thing hasn鈥檛 been carried over into adulthood but the love for small spaces has. We have a brilliant coat cupboard at our house and it isn鈥檛 just used for coats. This tiny space is my sanctuary.听
On the day we moved into the house, a little bit overwhelmed with it all, I sat in there for almost an entire day until I was ready to face the mess again. I鈥檝e hidden in it when the teenager鈥檚 parties have got a bit lairy, taken a moment of reflection during chaotic Christmases and what with things being the way they are just now, I鈥檝e found myself taking a moment in the cupboard and having just a little bit of a blub.听听
And the coats are handy because there鈥檚 usually a tissue to be found in a least one of the pockets, and if I鈥檓 lucky it鈥檚 even clean. The stories of faith are full of folk taking a minute out to catch their breath and gain perspective. Moses and his mountain top, Jesus in a garden just hours before his death and countless saints who found solace in solitude. And while my downstairs coat cupboard is no mountain top or peaceful paradise, it鈥檚 like a sort of chapel. Giving me a safe space to stop and think.听
Other people might have the luxury of a whole room for prayer, while others a windowsill with space for a candle. Whatever the space is, large or small, having somewhere to take time out and reset is as important now as it ever was. The coat cupboard is more than just the cupboard for coats and a soul sanctuary though, it also doubles up as the perfect sound recording booth. In fact Dermot, I鈥檓 talking to you from it right now and the good news is I鈥檝e just had a ferret in my cagoule pocket and found a packet of sherbet lemons. They鈥檙e its favourite.听 I think I might just stay in here for a little bit longer. You know where I am if you want me.
