It has been a great few days out and about, meeting up with friends, taking a break from parish life for 7 days.
Halfway through the past week ... a question which came a a bolt out of the blue was this question
"What can we do? "
It could be a negative question ... a statement of resignation...with the presumption that there is nothing that can be done
however it also can be a very positive question ... a statement of intention to do something.
It is a question which is running around in my mind about lots of issues at the minute ... from world wide things to smaller everyday encounters
Standing in front of St. Paul's in London on Tuesday ... surrounded by the protesters and the City of London and reading about all the issues of the world economy ... we could ask legitimately ... "What can we do?"
Walking along the London streets and seeing beggars and some of the worlds most expensive shops ..."What can we do?"
There are huge issues in our world ... and in our lives ... somehow we are called to rearrange those words to ... "do what we can" with our resources...
This is definitely something over the next while I will come back to on the blog ...
