Rejuvinating
During the past 48 hours I have experienced two different forms of rejuvinating which did not include any surgery proceedings or loads of money.
The first was at Netheravon on Sunday, I was invovled in what is known as The Triple Decker. At one point in the service there are three different activities happening in the church for three different age groups – a creche,a Sunday school and the main service which adults attend. We are joined at the beginning and the end. This Sunday the music group played (I can’t remember if they play for every Triple Decker) and it added another dimension to the worship for me. There were electric piano, accoustic guitar, clarinet, (and here I show my ignorance) I think there was a violin and viola but it may have been two violins. With them were two singers. I was able to hear them run through the music before the service and knew that they were good but it was not until the serive that I realised how much they added to the whole. Not only with their musical skills but with choice of music. – Thank you.
The other time was Monday evening when I began my evening class in jewellery making. I was quite nervous at the beginning with the usual feelings of will I like the others, will I be less able than them, will I be able to find the place etc. By the end of the two hours I realised that all my fears were groundless and that I had spent two hours talking about creative things and finding that I can cut glass. If the rest of the weeks are like this the benefits will not only be new pieces of jewellery but a rejuvinated Rachel.
Both experiences have underlined the fact the I don’t need anything more drastic to regain my sense of balance and that for me music and creative are elements that I have to have in my life. My own small Fully Alive programme.
