I don’t think anyone who goes to a boarding school, or to one of the great English public schools as you did, John, escapes trauma. And how we need the waterfall to wash away the scars of trauma from our subconscious, and heal us. And redeem the pain of those years, bringing something good out of it.

This post awakened strange, long-forgotten murmurings, childhood dislocations and remembrances of things so long past I thought that the endless ebb and flow of memory might have erased them for good. We are indeed who we are by the relentless sharpening of stone against stone and in Christ, the rock in which we hide, our great sculptor and fashioner, we hope against all hope that the wrong that we do is washed away in the falling waters which flow unceasingly from the throne room. Well done indeed – a great piece.
