living theology today

There's nothing like being a sucker for punishment, is there? Today I went early for the bus, which was late (obviously, under the general laws of something these two most often happen the other way round). So though attempting to cut short a frankly grim week I was more aiming for a tiny bit of clear water to get my head together before heading off for my first proper class on the theology course. Having taken 2 hours to get home I had precisely no time to reboot my head and heart toward God, and fell in through the door (thankfully not quite last, Stuart having taken longer to get from Teesside even than me) with my brain playing catchup. Some people found Saturday's study day quite hard going - I found it deceptively easy, bearing in mind it was mostly study skills, learning styles etc. I should have been able to ease myself in tonight as well, with one early 15th C icon (brain explorer > medieval art & iconography, degree yr 2 > knowledge) and one metaphysical poem (brain explorer > english lit A level > knowledge), and looking back I suppose I might have dusted off a neural pathway or two, but they sure took some finding :o It will be lovely to dig out some of those skills and reuse them in new ways.
