Day Six - A Lack of Silence
Yesterday, aside from a lovely start to the day of croissants and presents - it was my birthday - I spent the entire day in the car driving to some governor training and driving home again. The day itself has been really good content-wise but that was hampered by... Airless room Strip lighting No natural lighting Lots of input Surrounded by strangers No space. Today has been nose to tail... a walk, morning prayer (an oasis) and a Said Mass, the rest of the day has been desk based in front of a computer sorting admin, arranging meetings, preparing liturgy, and arranging pastoral catch ups. The result? My brain is full and I feel a bit emotionally bruised. I've been reminded that two days of input, with people, on the go all the time, with little space is not good for my wellbeing.
