If I ever write an autobiography it will be called a bumbling presence
I believe much of my life is taken up my bumbling. I live and minister in Conwy. I am here by happenstance. Certainly I ended up in Wales by bumbling through study at St Deiniol’s Library in Hawarden.
I have never been one for a grand plan. I never intended to stay in London for two and a half years when I went for three weeks. I just cannot count. I never set out to have a PhD, let alone two. I don’t think I intended to be ordained.
Bumbling means just being there, sometimes with intent and often with no particular aim. I can sit in a coffee shop for hours, or in my chair with a book. It is not that I don’t know what I am doing, simply I do it in my own way. I certainly have no expectations of myself.
I bumble. I am the bumbling fool. Discuss
