Our Pastoral Associate, Sue, in a recent reflection wrote:
“In our everyday lives, as we go about our business, it is all too easy to lose sight of the small things that bring us joy and pleasure. If we lose sight of them, then we can forget them. We can also lose sight of the fact that God gives each of us our own particular gifts, to use for others.”
By pure coincidence I came across an article that reinforced in many ways what Sue is reflecting on.
Washington Post
It is the story of a famous violinist busking in a busy Washington railway station during the morning rush hour. The reactions of the commuters were observed and described.
In the article someone was quoted:
“If we can't take the time out of our lives to stay a moment and listen to one of the best musicians on Earth play some of the best music ever written; if the surge of modern life so overpowers us that we are deaf and blind to something like that -- then what else are we missing?”
What a powerful question!
