IT’S TIME TO<br />
RECONNECT<br />
A message from Reverend Phil Jackson<br />
Being connected has become such an important part of<br />
our lives. For many of us, one of the first questions we<br />
might ask when we are finding out where we are going<br />
on holiday is, ‘does it have Wi-Fi?!’ We really value the<br />
opportunity to chat with friends, to update our status<br />
and to post photos of where we are and what we are<br />
doing. Much about this can be really good. Modern<br />
technology through this pandemic has been such a<br />
significant way of keeping in touch with loved ones and<br />
making self-isolation manageable: we are so fortunate<br />
to have these tools. However, sometimes we can<br />
become so fixated on connecting with the virtual world,<br />
that we can forget to connect with the people and the<br />
places that are right in front of us.<br />
As many of us start the long summer holiday, it seems<br />
to me that it is an excellent opportunity to take some<br />
time to disconnect, so that we can reconnect. Holidays<br />
are fantastic opportunities to put away our technology<br />
for a while and to focus on those people in our lives<br />
who are often right next to us. To listen and to talk<br />
and to share with them. It is also a really good time to<br />
reconnect with the physical and spiritual world. To take<br />
some time to watch a sunset (or sunrise…), to watch<br />
the waves crashing on the beach, or to look at the<br />
changing light over the mountains. Maybe to gaze at<br />
the night sky peppered with stars or to sit quietly for<br />
a while considering all this beauty and splendour and<br />
giving thanks. It is the well-known poem Leisure by W<br />
H Davies (look it up!) that captures it so well. ‘What is<br />
this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and<br />
stare.’ In that standing and staring we can do some of<br />
that reconnecting with the world around us and open<br />
ourselves up to more of what life has to offer us.<br />
So, this summer, whatever else you end up doing,<br />
can I encourage you to disconnect so that you can<br />
reconnect… Have a great summer holiday!
