Church

After feeling sorry for myself for having to go to the dentist I sat and watched the world go by outside my living room window. I opened the window as wide as it could go (like a door!), moved my chair right over, rolled up my jeans, brought out my letter writing things and enjoyed the sunshine. There was one problem though, I wasn't actually outside.

So I wrapped up my letter in it's envelope, picked up my pennies, my keys, my camera and my ipod and wandered out of the door. On the way out of the street I picked up my sunglasses from the car and started my wee walk to the post office. There were many photos taken on the way, mainly of broken branches, and then I noticed I was ignoring everything. My music, my feet, my very uptight and confused emotions, the cars, the breeze. I'm not even sure ignoring is the right word. But I blanked out entirely. And it was nice. It was what I needed. There's been a lot in my head and life lately and it was nice just to walk and not concentrate on anything. I got to the post office, sent my post and continued on in my funny litte unexplainable time.

I was meaning to just walk home. But clearly this is not a picture of my flat. I ended up wandering around in the graveyard of my old church and looking out over the city. I struggle with 'church' at the moment and it's hard for me to explain, so I am not going to try. But I found it interesting that in my blanked out state of mind I ended up outside the church, the church I went to before going to Iona, the church I find it too difficult to go back to now that I am back.

I could continue with this, but this was only going to be a short Blip, not a full length Blog... So I will end now.

What is 'church' to you?
