In this empty hallway, there’s nothing expected of us at this moment. The work is out of our hands, and all we can do is wait, breathe, look around. People sometimes feel like this when they’ve been up all night with someone who’s seriously ill or dying, or when they’ve been through a non-stop series of enormously demanding tasks. A sort of peace, but more a sort of ”˜limbo’, an in-between moment. For now, nothing more to do; tired, empty, slightly numbed, we rest for a bit, knowing that what matters is now happening somewhere else.
”“Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams
Thank you for this quotation. I haven’t been online for a couple of days and so have only now seen it. It’s really a good one for Holy Saturday; I hope you’ll include it again next year.
