crushed

crushed

by the unbearable lightness

of the perpetually transient

lingering anxiously

for nothing

short of something

too distracted to dwell

on thoughts that lie

undisturbed

frantically gathering

dust and ashes

but still

the weight goes on

bearing the unbearable

lifting the head

the heart

revealing the concealed

to the unseeing

I

Nothing particularly interesting to say about myself other than after 27 years working as a GP, I was delighted, at the start of December 2023, to start work as the South West Regional Representative of the Slavic Gospel Association (SGA). You can read about what they do at sga.org.uk. I am also an avid Somerset County Cricket Club supporter and a poor example of a Christian who likes to put finger to keyboard from time to time and who is foolish enough to think that someone out there might be interested enough to read what I've written. Some of these blogs have grown over time and some portions of earlier blogs reappear in slightly different forms in later blogs. I apologise for the repetition. If you are involved in a church in the southwest of England and would like to hear more of SGA’s work, do get in touch. I’d love to come and talk a little, or even a lot, about what they get up to!.
