Starting my day in the chapel for morning prayer. It’s a beautiful and quiet place. It’s an essential rhythm for my working life.
Welcoming, and there is lots of laughter! I love being here among the staff and students.
Mathew 28:20 ‘…And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age’.
It’s a beautiful reminder that I am never alone. We are never alone! This has been an important reminder in the chances and changes of the past few years.
When I realised I could not answer the childlike question ‘who made God?’! This led me to ponder God’s being and call on my life.
I love the Narnia series by CS Lewis and especially The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. I was 10 and my imagination sprang to life as I wished for magic wardrobes, fauns and Turkish delight. (And witches and talking lions!)
Many more open natural spaces to spend moments experiencing beauty and discovering a world within a world.
I love making things, especially creating yarn by spinning fleece. My preferred tool is a drop spindle, so I can delight in the slowness of this craft and feel, smell and see the fleece and yarn.
