I’ve been on retreat at the Cathedral of the Isles on Cumbrae, the weather wasn’t wonderful, but then it is the West of Scotland in October, however The Right Revd Gordon Mursell was excellent. His words fell lightly. like angel wings at rest; but as they settled and seeped in, like the almost constant rain, they questioned and challenged, disturbing comfortability. The angels wings vigorously started to beat creating a wind greater than the one that buffeted the building and blew me off my feet.
Despite being back home the currents of the words, wind and wisdom have continued to be felt. Realigning what has got a bit stuck while blowing away the detritus that had got lodged forgotten for way too long.
However I fell foul of the old covetous that always washes over me when I see the altar frontal in the Lady Chapel.
Sorry photo isn’t very good, but I wouldn’t want to lead into covetous ways along with me.
