Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From Rae Duke, Religion and Ethics teacher and broadcaster.听
As we heard from Tanya yesterday, we鈥檙e in the midst of wedding season, and with it, the accompanying appetizers - hen and stag parties. One of my favourite writers Dolly Alderton mocked up a typical email from a fictional bridesmaid to the hens ahead of their 鈥榙o鈥�. She has this great line: 鈥渋ncluded in the money you鈥檝e transferred will be a delicious mezze sharing platter, entitling you to one falafel, three olives and half a flatbread each.鈥� There鈥檚 talk of threatened eviction for underachievers during game-time, laborious outfit changes and the reserving of a single chair in the club - all tables were taken. (She jests, yet we relate!) The recent hen-do of my wonderful friend, Rosie, spectacularly swerved these typically millennial pit-falls. Perhaps we can put it down to the unpretentiousness of camping?听
Maybe it was our dedication to a Harry Potter theme and the omnipresence of J. K. Rowling鈥檚 wise words on hen memorabilia? 鈥淚t is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.鈥� Or was it that sign in the loo, 鈥渓ive simply, laugh often, love freely鈥�? The book I鈥檓 struggling to put down at the moment has some light to shine. It鈥檚 by journalist and commentator David Brooks. His theory is that there are two mountains we can climb in life, the first is about defining the self and acquiring stuff, the second is about contribution and aligning your life toward some ultimate good. David encourages moving from the first, (where you tend to be ambitious, independent, living for yourself), to the second (living as a gift for others, relational and intimate).听
This is where real joy, as opposed to its more shallow relation, happiness, is to be found. Joy in nurturing what Brooks calls 鈥榯hick relationships鈥�; people who are on their second mountain are never thinly attached but instead are deeply committed, deeply rooted. This can be to a vocation, a spouse or family, a community, or a philosophy or faith. I鈥檓 convinced I caught a glimpse of the essence of Brooks鈥� vision in our hen weekend - relationship, community and commitment at the centre. As one of the proverbs from the Bible鈥檚 wisdom tradition affirms, 鈥渁 sweet friendship refreshes the soul.鈥�
