Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
Tony Miles, Reverend at Methodist Central Hall Westminster:聽
Matt, my prayers, of course, are with those mourning in Sri Lanka today, that following evil acts of terror, goodness will rise up and ultimately triumph over evil. In that spirit, every Easter at my Church, we take a stark wooden cross and transform its ugliness into a thing of beauty - decorating it with colourful flowers. It becomes for us a glorious symbol of hope. Now Holy Week and Easter are busy for us clergy. On this Bank Holiday, to quote that wise sage, Steve Wright, it鈥檚 time for some 鈥榮erious chillin鈥�, with no G!鈥櫬�
Yes, time for pondering life鈥檚 great mysteries, like why it takes just one match to start a forest fire, but a whole box to light an old barbecue? Or to 鈥榞et away from it all鈥� to explore the countryside or garden centre, na茂vely forgetting everyone鈥檚 had the same idea. Yet grabbing some sun rays and connecting with our environment can be restorative. I can understand why people can feel nearer to God in the garden than they do in church. And you don鈥檛 have to be a tree hugger, or even religious, to be spiritually inspired by nature.聽
My Dad has a fantastic garden. It鈥檚 his pride and joy. The trouble is, he lives with Parkinson鈥檚. I鈥檓 not sure for whom I should feel sorrier for, my dad who can no longer care for the garden himself, or his gardener who has to live up to Dad鈥檚 high expectations. But still, Dad finds joy seeing his garden revive each spring. I find it interesting that the Bible begins and ends with the mention of a garden and tells how some of Jesus鈥� followers witnessed he鈥檇 risen from the dead in a garden too.聽
Christians believe Easter is about new life! Martin Luther, the German Monk and reformer, is credited as writing the 鈥楲ord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.鈥� Whether I鈥檝e an impressive garden like Dad鈥檚, a window box, or just a few pot plants around my home, I hope I鈥檒l always tend my patch ever-mindful of my wider responsibility. That鈥檚 to be a caretaker of the environment and my relationships, so that future generations may have a beautiful and peaceful world to chill in too.
