Water, Water Everywhere

We had a bit of a plumbing incident last night. Luckily we're insured and the plumber got to us quickly. There's still a big puddle at the far end of the kitchen where the water pooled.

I hate it when things break. I don't feel equipped to deal with the physical world. Metaphysics, yes; bring it on. But the world of appearances has me beat. 

I woke this morning with a tension headache. Earlier I'd been dreaming they'd made me Archbishop of Canterbury.

I detest plumbing. I know just enough about it to create even bigger problems than the ones I set out to correct. Perhaps there have been repairs that went well, but I have no memory of them.

And on the whole, I think being made Archbishop would be a bigger headache still.

Right now the Archbish has one of the worst jobs in the world.

And I'm afraid he's not up to it. He's a gentle, unworldly scholar and what's needed is a political and spiritual giant- someone of the stature of St Augustine or Martin Luther.
