Chuff-chuff-chuffing Along

[poliphilo]

On one or two occasions- always at a turning point in my life- I've had the feeling that a part of me has stepped aside and is observing things from a distance. Right now I have this image in my head where my life is a model railway layout and I'm bending over it, watching the train hurrying along, leaving the branch line for the main line- or the main line for the branch line, or whatever.

I feel happy and peaceful. Unconflicted. Also mildly amused.

I said yesterday that this new alleigance would probably last out my time- and it probably will, because I'm 58 next birthday- but not necessarily so. We can only know the truth in parts- a little at a time- because the whole of it is just too big for our brains. Anglican Christianity is the fragment I'm embracing now- at this particular point in the continuum- but where there's life there's change - and in ten years time, who knows?

Belief - ANY belief - is a gift which we cannot will or wish.
Yes, things change over time - and sometimes they change BACK.
I am 68 next birthday and am constantly amazed at how peaceful I am inside compared to my crazy and very mixed up younger years.

I don't take my beliefs all that seriously these days.
