Good morning, everyone.
It's hard to believe it, but Christmas is over and the new year is well underway. I've just returned to work after 3 week's of holidays and I only have 6 more weeks before I finish up in my role as Senior Minister as CityLife Church. I turned 55 years of age back in October and for me, time seems to be moving faster as life goes on.
I was reflecting on this one morning last week and put a few words together around the theme of 'time' – in my amateur form of poetry. Have a read. Slowly. Savour the words. Think about your life. Enjoy.
Tick tock
Hear the clock
Always moving forward
Relentless motion
A new day dawns
Sun rising
Before long
Afternoon arrives
Then a setting sun
Evening again
The darkness of night
Another day gone
What's it all mean?
This thing called life
Searching for a purpose
Need to get it right
Something to decide
Or something to discover?
Make your own way
Or listen for the Other?
So fragile, so frail
So short
A blip in time
Blink and it's gone
History
Geography
Science
Faith
Memories
Experiences
Dreams
Hopes
Yesterday
Today
Tomorrow
Now
This moment
Right here
Breath of life
Be fully present
Time …
