Ad/venting
So I started a new blog but then thought, why not return to this comfortable, if slightly dusty space.Today I described advent as waiting for something without knowing what that something is; believing that there is gift, but carrying the underlying scepticism/hope that that something will be what we need rather than what we want. A Messiah in the form of a baby; a throne made of hay; a community of mystics and shepherds rather than debutantes.
Living with that level of unknowing is scary. All of us want to plan, to carefully manage our expectations and to envision what the future might look like. Instead we face a long stretch of work without the promise of early, fat pensions, rising prices, diminishing public services and long dark nights with only the dull memory of summer to keep us going. And don't let me even START on my real problems!
Oh for the advent of hope...and belief in the promise of unexpected gifts.
