Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

From聽Peter Hancock, Bishop of Bath and Wells:

Louis Armstrong was famous for his jazz trumpet and is particularly remembered for performing 鈥榃hat a Wonderful World鈥. He believed music was something people had in their soul, welling up from within. 鈥楳usicians鈥 he said 鈥榙on鈥檛 retire; they stop when there is no more music in them.鈥 And Glastonbury celebrates the fun and聽enjoyment聽we all get from music.聽

However, Benjamin Disraeli, the former Prime Minister once said: 鈥楳ost people die with their music still locked up inside them.鈥 What a sad thought that is!聽For if music helps us聽express what鈥檚 in our minds聽and hearts, and聽the things we long for, we need to unlock it.聽For there鈥檚 no doubt that music聽lifts our spirits and changes us.聽Noel Gallagher was right when he said: 鈥楳usic is something which changes people鈥檚 lives.聽 It has the capacity to make people鈥檚 lives better.鈥櫬

I live聽nearby聽in the beautiful Cathedral City of Wells.聽Wells gets its name from the wells of water which spring up within the gardens of the Bishop鈥檚 Palace. That is what first brought people to this area and why people have lived here ever since.聽 Last summer we had weeks of dry weather and I wondered if the wells would dry up and the water would stop flowing. But it didn鈥檛.聽

Night and day, every day, winter and summer, for thousands of years, the water continues to flow. That water reminds me of God鈥檚 love which also flows continually, which we see in the world God has created, the wonderful world which Louis Armstrong sang about.聽 God鈥檚 love, the Bible tells us, 鈥榥ever ends.鈥櫬 It flows for ever.聽

But whilst the world is beautiful and wonderful, there is聽also聽much that needs changing.聽聽There聽is聽simply聽too much greed, violence, hatred and suffering聽in the world.聽聽As聽Glastonbury gets underway聽however聽my hope is that as well as enjoying the聽music聽we let the music 鈥 and I would also say聽鈥榣et God鈥櫬- change us, so that together we make the world a better place for everyone.

We must聽be聽people who change the world for good聽- for that is what the world desperately needs.聽 聽
