Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

On Tuesday this week, I rode my bike the five miles from home to the bus without stopping, never once taking my feet off the pedals to touch the ground. This is a thing. My route takes me through 27 sets of traffic lights at junctions and six more sets at pedestrian crossings.听There are long straights, where I can see five lights ahead, and turns where the lights catch you unawares. To get through them all cleanly requires me to adjust my pace, sometimes almost grinding to a halt to wait on a red, then sprinting till my lungs burst to catch a green. But to carry on to the end, to make the journey without putting a foot down, is completely exhilarating.

The nonstop ride can really only be done in the quiet early morning. It鈥檚 not a sensible thing to attempt in busy traffic. It needs focus and concentration and no trucks. In the evening, it鈥檚 wiser not to try. Now, two years ago today, my dad died; and in those two years, these years of relentless strangeness and separation that we have all shared, I have carried on. It has felt as if I have always been moving, and yet the roads have not been quiet. I reckon it鈥檚 a long time since any of us has been on a quiet road. So, this long negotiation with grief has been undertaken in heavy traffic, almost grinding to a halt, intermittently sprinting, worrying that if I put my foot down, I might never get going again; and all with no traffic lights to make me stop.听But sometimes, I think, when the traffic is heavy, we must be made to stop.

Jesus once said, 鈥淐ome to me, and I will give you rest鈥.听听It鈥檚 interesting that he starts not with the gift but the invitation.听听If I want to rest, I have to decide to go and find rest. The nonstop cycling thing, the clear green run, is a beautiful rarity. Extraordinarily, I did it again on Wednesday. Mind you, I wouldn鈥檛 want to do it every day. It鈥檚 exhausting.听听Sometimes, you need to stop, to rest your legs or to rest your heart. So, later today I鈥檒l see my Mum and my brother, and we鈥檒l rest together and think of Dad. And then the weekend will be here.听听And I hope I鈥檒l rest some more.
