A Cord Of Three Strands, interwoven, is not easily broken. That’s from a bible verse, so it must be true. It was the theme of the sermon that the preacher gave at our wedding.

I’ve been trying to think of the three strands that give my own life overall expression and strength these days. But to be honest I can’t think of any suitable summing up words, that don’t sound simplistic at best, or misleading at worst.

My eldest son, who was eight or nine at the time, said to me, many years ago … “I think the three most important things for you are God, then mummy, then us”.

It’s amazing what children see and how they perceive things. But in fact, at that time, I was towards the very end of my highly committed dalliance with faith and religion. So God was about to drop right off the list.

And resulting from that, I have gradually stopped looking for any easy, answers, solutions, or catch-all phrases to glue everything together. It’s probably because of the cliche that “the more we learn, the more we realise how little we know”.

Words are we all have to describe anything. And “This” is all there ever is.

And that about sums things up.

It’s become enough for me.
