Pause for Thought: The spirit of love and truth
I presented my third Pause for Thought of the month on BBC Radio 2, this time on fasting as Lent begins this week. Quakers don’t have a corporate practice of fasting, but we do have a practice of simplicity which can have a similar purpose. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0n...

“And in this he showed me a little thing, the quantity of a hazel nut, lying in the palm of my hand, as it seemed. And it was as round as any ball. I looked upon it with the eye of my understanding, and thought, ‘What may this be?’ And it was answered generally thus, ‘It is all that is made.’ I marveled how it might last, for I thought it might suddenly have fallen to nothing for littleness. And I was answered in my understanding: It lasts and ever shall, for God loves it. And so have all things their beginning by the love of God.
In this little thing I saw three properties. The first is that God made it. The second that God loves it. And the third, that God keeps it.”
