This wonderful reflection puts me in mind of a homily delivered by an Anglican bishop in Tasmania (Australia) in 1980, nearly 50 years ago. He was speaking on the ‘foxes have holes’ passage to illustrate what it means to follow Jesus. It is, he said, drawing from the gospel, 1) hard, not easy, 2) forward not backward, and 3) today, not tomorrow.
And thank you, Gordon. I can assure readers that, for all its flaws, it comes from the heart, and I hope it helps someone, somewhere. It is in the scriptures, not all of which are in quotation marks and few of which are linked, that my hope is lodged. Or rather in the Author of the scriptures.

Thanks very much Douglas.
