Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From Nick Baines, the Bishop of Leeds:聽
Well, I don鈥檛 know what you鈥檙e doing today, but I am busy waiting for tomorrow. Now, this isn鈥檛 just me procrastinating or not living in the moment. Tomorrow - wait for it - is the day Bob Dylan releases his latest album. And it鈥檚 his first with original songs since Tempest in 2012. So, it鈥檚 been a slow train coming and I bet it was worth the wait. It鈥檚 called Rough and Rowdy Ways and I have no idea - apart from hints in an interview I read - what it will be like. But, his Bobness never disappoints. His lyrics address the themes of the times and cut through the sentimentalities of life, offering a vocabulary for questioning, wondering and, sometimes, worshiping. But, it鈥檚 the title that grabbed me when I saw it recently.聽
Dylan has never shied away from dosing us with reality. If the answer is blowing in the wind, then it has to be found under the hard rain that鈥檚 gonna fall. When we want to settle down, he reminds us that the times do keep a-changing. So, rough and rowdy ways does sum up, in a pithy way, the world we seem to inhabit now. Since lockdown began we have had to invent new ways of living, communicating, associating and, even, thinking about the world and what matters. And for many people this has been a real struggle. We鈥檝e had to be inventive - discovering new technologies and ways of working - and it remains rough and rowdy, disruptive and untidy.聽
But, this is how life usually is for most people. One of the things that always hits me when I read the Bible is its utter realism. Right from the start, ordinary people are called to leave behind their familiar world and journey to an unknown destination. Jesus invites people to walk with him, but into a future they can鈥檛 control ... and might end badly. People go into exile or suffer oppression. And, yet, the constant is that God never abandons them even when the loss is more powerful than anything. Rough and rowdy might describe the way ahead, but this can be exciting, too. And if Bob can still see the possibilities at 79, then I鈥檒l give it a go, too.
