Dancing waves

I wonder how your Lent is going so far?

I hope that you are being gentle with yourself. I think that is absolutely key to keeping a good and holy Lent. In the past, I have set myself lots of targets, failed, felt guilty and sometimes pretended that I had not really set them.

It is good be able to simply carve out time.

Yesterday, I watched the waves in Trearddur Bay. The sun dancing upon the crest of the sea, and for a moment, I managed a sense of stillness.

You don’t need to be confronted by the power of nature to be stilled. I am stilled as I remember my home towm, the steel city of Sheffield.

I am stilled as I read the Scriptures and attempt to pray. Perhaps, as we begin to enter the second week of this holy season, I will remember to be still a little more.
