Gosh what a world we are living in. From Trump to May the world does not feel safe any more....from guns, drugs, knives and corruption there is a feeling of being temporary, of there being nothing to rely on because change is imminent for us all.
In the run up to Christmas I am getting lots of begging letters.
Very good causes ask for contributions to excellent causes...
There are days when guilt engulfs me as I realise how very fortunate I am to be living in Cornwall, well away from the problems of life in the cities where youth crime proliferates.
The nearest city from here is Truro which is a pleasant , quiet place reached by taking a ferry over the river Fal.
I haven’t been there for about a year. I don’t drive too far these days..
My life here is quiet, peaceful and untroubled by today’s problems. But I am aware of them...
I am also glad that I am going to be around for the world just glimpsed up ahead...
I have no plans to die just yet but it has to be admitted that my farewell can’t be too far away...
Not yet though...I still have things to do...places to see, friends to make...life is still very good here wrapped in my secure cocoon.
So when I get letters inviting me to a retirement service in church I am amazed to see that it’s for me!
But in this world of busy people solving appalling problems I appreciate the peace I inhabit....
Thank you God.
