In good time: Peter D Leeming’s Thought for the Week

‘I know that the ticking does still continue and that it will be heard again eventually.’

by Peter D Leeming 29th April 2022

I sit in Meeting and look across at the friendly face of our old clock, gazing down on us as it has done for many years. As I settle into worship, I try to catch the sound of its ticking, something which I always find helpful in quietening my mind. From time to time it is drowned out by the noise of the traffic outside, louder now due to the open windows, a precaution against Covid. But I know that the ticking does still continue and that it will be heard again eventually.
