Blessing

Yesterday someone asked me if I was glad this listening adventure was coming to an end. If I was looking forward to stopping. And I found myself saying yes. And no. For most of these 25 days it's felt like a light thing. A joy. A gift. Some nights I'd have liked a switch off. Some days I didn't fancy going out. But most of the time it's been great. 

And now it feels like the music's still playing. Somewhere in the ether. It's quieter and slower now but it's still there. Something's been woken up and I'm looking forward to staying with it. Tuning in. Listening in still. Whether it's part of something like this again or just day to day. 

So thank you everyone who's been part this adventure! Whether embodied or in spirit. In words, pictures, silence or ponderings. It's been fun! And rich. And deep. And beautiful.

Nowt else to say now so over to St Brendan the Navigator whose blessing served us well at the beginning and hopefully will continue to do so...........

Help us to journey beyond the familiar

and into the unknown.

Give us the faith to leave old ways

and break fresh ground with You.

Christ of the mysteries, we trust You

to be stronger than each storm within us.

We will trust in the darkness and know

that our times, even now, are in Your hand.

Tune our spirits to the music of heaven,

and somehow, make our obedience count for You. 

Amen!
