Merry Christmas

Having a good Christmas with the Tribe, parents coming over the weekend. The Diocese bought me loads of great books (most of my amazon wishlist) for a leaving present so am emersed in new paradyms of leaders/organisation books - loving it. Ice Skating at Eden Project today in front of biomes - should be exciting.
Peace

Advent - Great quotes

David from Catholic Diocese shared some fun but cutting quotes about SLOW!

"We spend most of our time spending money we haven't earned, to buy things we don't need, to impress people we don't know." Will Smith.

"By means of a diversion a man can avoid his own company 24 hrs a day." Pascal

Advent is the hard shoulder. Pull over and have a break and stop and slow.

"Something to chat to Laris about ... Making my 4-8.30pm time with kids really work for them. To be present when present. Play, play, read, pray, bath ... Then go out to my thang ( whatever it is) and return then maybe leave washing up til late."

"The cruciform cross can be a great image of holding the tension of paradox - the martha and mary, the rest and work, the be and do. We need to live and accept this pain of paradox."
