An Invitation to Drift – Reflection 1

 

This week I will be releasing five audio reflections (one a day) that offer a brief reflection on each chapter from section one of How (Not) to Speak of God.

My artist/musician friend Dubh recorded an ambient track to provide a soundscape for these reflections that he has called "Drift" (you can download it for free here). I love the name because it captures the heart of what I am attempting to do in these recordings,

 

- If I want you to "catch my drift" I seek to convey my meaning to you. In these reflections I hope to help people catch the main drift of H(N)tSoG.

- "To drift" also conjures up the sense of moving from a fixed point or set course. It has been many years since I wrote H(N)tSoG and so I am now a reader of the text, offering my own limited interpretation of the work that no doubt drifts in some ways from the intentions of the author.

- Finally "to drift away" conveys the idea of being carried along by a current of air or water. My hope is that these short podcasts will provide a little moment of reprieve in your day, enabling you to drift away from your daily struggles for a few short moments.

 

The podcasts last approximately eleven minutes each. If people enjoy these and find that they are useful I will look at doing podcasts on a more regular basis (I might need help in working out how to set up some kind of podcast channel)
