Shaken

You always do the unexpected. Just when I think I know How you think, What you mean, Where you are, You shatter all my preconceptions. You shape-shift, slipping Through the fingers of my mind. Eye-cornered, I think I spy You, elusive yet there. And just as I settle You rattle my cage The dust flies And my card house falls I've been thinking about shaking.  And this poem was the result yesterday. It's interesting that in Haggai God says He will shake the heavens, then the earth, then the sea and then the land. Next He will shake the nations - all of them.  And then He will come. At the moment it feels as though the whole earth is being shaken by the virus, but actually I don't think it is.  Much of the world has been affected but not all of it.  This might well be more of a tremble than a shaking.  I think the shaking is yet to come.

The little things are the big things

I heard myself say that yesterday.  And I thought that it should probably become the strapline for lockdown. For both good and bad the little things are now the big things.  If someone leaves their dishes on the table instead of in the dishwasher at the moment, there is the potential for nuclear meltdown.  Equally, waving at a neighbour or phoning a friend can be the highlight of the day.  Funny how priorities change when options become very limited.                                 So today this very short post is just to encourage you to do two things.  1) don't sweat the small stuff.  Try to keep the negative niggles in perspective  and 2) pay attention to the little things that can make a big difference to someone elses' day.  My neighbours on both sides are locked in with children under the age of eight.  Both families have very little outside space....

We will meet again

The Queen always manages to make me feel a mixture of pride, huge respect and inspired.  I don't know what it is about her, but every time she speaks I feel that I've gained something.  She has a wisdom and grace about her and she never comes across as being superior or ' apart'  from the rest of us.  Im really glad she chose to speak this weekend.  I think we need her positive rallying cry to keep us focused.  We will get through this.  And we really are a great country in a crisis.  We always have been. When she was talking about her address to the wartime evacuees when she was a child it really made me think.  At the moment many parents up and down the land are thinking about what would happen if a child had to go into hospital with Covid 19.  Or a parent.  Or a spouse.  Not being able to be with someone you love when they are very ill or possibly dying would be super hard for all of us.  But if it was your child........
