Pause for Thought

Pause for Thought
From The Archbishop of York, John Sentamu:

Today, November twenty-second holds many secrets. For example in 1906, International Radio Communications adopted a code-signal of extreme distress, S.O.S (three dots, three dashes, three dots), used especially by ships at sea 鈥� colloquially meaning urgent appeal for help.

And today鈥檚 secret? This day marks five days before Advent 鈥� which means arrival, especially of someone important, and in this case, a season of four weeks before Christmas.

Advent is traditionally a time in the Church鈥檚 year of preparation, reflection, saying sorry and putting right what we have done wrong and doing those things we have failed to do 鈥� as we look forward to Jesus鈥� birthday at Christmas.

Advent鈥檚 clarion call is: wake-up, clean-up, feed-up, and grow-up: Active and Focussed waiting. Learning from Jesus鈥� story of wise and foolish ways of the ten girls, waiting for the arrival of a bridegroom, who had only one task: to keep their lamps burning so that they can light their lamps to welcome the bridegroom to the wedding banquet.

Waiting, when we can鈥檛 keep busy, is a real challenge to our concentration and focus. It鈥檚 hard work for the mind. Five girls kept to the task; five others were unwise and careless.

A story is told of a percussion player in an orchestra that had rehearsed Ravel鈥檚 Bolero hard. The man鈥檚 job was to strike the cymbals as a climax at the end of the piece.

As you may know, Ravel鈥檚 Bolero has the same tune and the same rhythm repeated throughout 鈥� 18 variations of the same melody, each played by different instruments. The percussion player had to listen very carefully and count the bars until his great moment came. One lapse of concentration, one brief shift of focus and he lost count! He missed his entry and it was too late for his great finale.

With an openness to the world and our eyes fixed on Jesus who came at Christmas, Embodying Love, Peace and Justice, may we be ready to play our part however small when the moment comes. Active and focussed waiting.
