My Year at the Cathedral.

Whilst I sit here taking a 5 minute break on Boxing Day Evening, I sit thinking about the hustle and bustle of the last months.....

When I was in the Cathedral I thought about all that has happened recently that I have been involved in, all the fun things that Sunday Club got up to,Filming Annie's Wedding, Rebecca being Confirmed and Pip Being Baptised, both great days, Installing a new Sound Desk, CCTV cameras and woodwork ( twice !) into the Cathedral, the way that Planning the Big Screen Coverage of Bishop James' Enthronement took over my life for 2 1/2 months, the Showing of the Alternative Nativity to the Public at the Crib Service on Christmas Eve, slightly unsure of the response we would get ( It was all positive !) and many other great times I have had there.
There have been quiet times too, times when I have nipped in quickly to have 5 minutes of quiet lr see what goes on, to light a candle and reflect on what being part of the cathedral community means to me.

I think it means all things and everything and I am grateful for that !

Jigsaw

Here's one to Ponder and set a parallel to ....

Many years ago I asked a colleague who was a reporter and who I'd spent the evening in the Pub with, What he thought it was all about.....you know, the bigger picture.

Well he came straight out with the following......

Visualise yourself in the world, as a small piece of a jigsaw, part of the complete picture all the same, but still a very small insignificant piece......

But without that Piece the bigger picture isnt complete, it has gaps and you can't tell exactly what it is.

Which just goes to show how we all have a part to play in the grand scheme of things, we all have equal needs, desires,hopes,attributes, talents as if they were the bits that lock it all together and beleive me , when they do you can stand back and see how great it all is....

(or should that be there is someone else out there looking back at how marvellous it all is.......)
