Martha and Mary
22/July/2007 Filed in:
JottingsSlightly distracted during all the heavy rain of the last few days, with much clearing of gutters and unplugging of drains. We are lucky. The garden is a wreck (so next week's festivities are likely to be recast as "Wellie and Wader Time"), but we have had no flooding of the cellars as might have been expected. This morning is suitably Wordsworthian, with stockdoves and fitful gleams of sunshine over the noise of waters. I wonder whether Noah awoke to such a morning as this after his weeks in the ark. That was certainly a "Martha" time, if ever there was one. Sunday ought to give everyone a little more "Mary" time, but how many of us really accept the need for sabbath in our lives?
