So a week has passed. By the curious way we number our lives I'm a year older. I've also been in hopsital for a routine knee op on my cruciate ligament. It feels good thanks but its always interesting going into hospital because having a general anaesthetic theres always that little doubt at the back of your mind about the danger of it all. As I was being injected with the magic fluid to make me sleep , the only words I could think of were those spoken to me as a child and still my refuge and comfort. And so like a little child I went to sleep saying the Lords Prayer and woke up an hour later in recovery with it still on my lips.
Maybe we do have to become "as a little child" to see the kingdom of heaven.

curry and beer dear friend, curry and beer
I sure hope so...
I am here from Pauls...apparently we both posted about childhood today so I had to come and check you out! I am so glad that I did.
I hope that you are on the mend and all is well...
Oh and Happy Birthday! :)
Take care.
bout ye! hope all's good. will you make it to ikon this weekend? make one those postmodern CS's give you a lift.
i liked this post. there is something about learning words like this by heart (bearing in mind ted hughes'distinction between 'by heart' and 'by rote') that helps us more than the sum of words that make up their content. i have never understood how that works. but the older i get the more grateful i am becoming for liturgy and the hunger for 'bible verses' that i had as an evangelical yoof.
hope to see you very soon.
Ah Papa C you cry like a baby at the west wing - its not hard but thats why we love you .....

Ah Mr T you have been quiet recently on the Blog front and we have all been the poorer for it . I do hope to get to ikon on sunday to see what the mad women have come up with. And I'm with you on the love for liturgy as I grow older - cant explain it but I am enjoying it .
