My teckie friend, Nigel Wright, has helped me add to my ‘memories of parish life ‘ website (www.trgow.net) a new , more personal, area under the title ‘Serendipity‘

It’s entitled ‘My Curious Life’ so this blog is just building on that theme

but from the point of view of rabbit holes.

Alice’s rabbit-hole experience caused her to exclaim ‘curiouser and curiouser’ and my Quaker friends, using slightly quaint jargon, would say

‘My Friend speaks my mind’.

So this morning saying ‘what fascinating things am I going to learn about/experience today has led me

beginning a Latin course with the Idler Academy (https://www.idler.co.uk/lesson/cases)

Start looking at The Embodiment Conference(My Conference(theembodimentconference.org)

Take 2 very refreshing walks talking to the bees and watching the swallows performing and enjoying the ‘silence’ , cook a tasty ‘Gingster’s ‘ pastie

with roasted vegetable and green beans, watch some enjoyable TV

Contact some friends via email ++

No wonder one of Jesus’ almost throw-away sayings is so amazing

I have come to bring you Life in all it’s fullness (John 10:10)

Two short chorusses speak about this to me

I am remembering who I am

and

May the streams of God’s wondrous love

come flowing through me

Maybe Satchmo’s song from ‘High Society’ sums it up too

‘What a Wonderful Life’

We have just been watching ‘Who do you think you are’ and were entranced by Kevin from Grimsby (of Strictly Come Dancing fame)

tracing his wonderful ggggg-grandmother back to her Canadian indigenous roots and very eventful/hard life.

No wonder the power of story is so important in many ‘Spiritual traditions’ and listening is such an amazing gift ( and to be worked hard on!!)

Jesus’ parables , for example, seem to me to be both so true to life -hence both appreciated by all who listened so eagerly(what great crowds followed Him around and loved His teachings) and able to lead all who read them now into deeper ‘life truths’
