Saturday Morning in Herefordshire
Saturday Evening at London Bridge
Some of my readers will already know that I was walking through London Bridge and Borough Market last Saturday minutes before the terror attack. I was on my way to the Dean of Southwark’s house having been invited to preach at Pentecost at the Cathedral. Instead we were all caught up in the ensuing emergency. I have written a reflection on it for ‘Poet’s Corner‘, my column in the Church Times and they have posted it early and kindly provided a link, so readers of my blog may like to read that reflection Here

Beauty is all we have to counteract rage…..as Keats said, beauty is truth, truth beauty…that is all we need to know. Blessings, Malcolm.
Thank you for such an honest reflection … the Shakespeare quote really resonates with me.
Thank you for this

Hard indeed to hold Saturday morning and Saturday evening together. But it is what we must do if we are to find the truth in both, and if there is to be a translation ‘out of death to birth’. Thank you for your poetry, it helps. I am glad not all your words on Pentecost were left unsaid.
Thanks!
Beautiful response…
So glad you are safe but grieving for the beautiful lives cut down. thank you for your reflection
Thank you for this – I am embarrassed and ashamed by our current US “head of state’s” response. We love you!
Thank you Malcolm – beautifully inspired and inspiring.
Thanks!
