Poem:
London, Lindisfarne, Learning, Living & Loving
By
Will Lyon Tupman. Written during a retreat at Lindisfarne with King's
Chaplaincy, summer 2019.
A
poem reflecting on my time at King's, my studies, my retreat, what I
love about London, & my hopes & dreams for the future.
Composed
by writing a set of one-line reflective sentences, before rearranging
them into a new order.
I've
loved studying Theology at King's and Girton.
And
photographing a place as beautiful as Lindisfarne has been thrilling;
I
love to run in lots of London Parks – Richmond, Wimbledon, Ally
Pally.
Go
to the Ice Bar in Mayfair; it's very cool!
Eating
with one another has been wonderful.
An
afternoon tea with cake at Paul, please.
Have
a G&T at The Duck with Aleksandra and Sophia;
And
I've lost count of the different types of Mead I've tasted!
Come
to Evensong and Eucharist at King's Chapel!
The
heartbeat of Mass, Morning & Evening Prayer.
Praying
for peace around the world – just like at Lindisfarne.
Writing
sermons with the aid of Theology is always fun!
Theology
aids my faith; faith aids my theology.
I
love using my theology to help others explore faith.
I
wonder what I'll study next, at Westcott House!
I
hope to meet lots of new people in my ministry.
I
hope to minister God's Grace in many different places.
I
hope to be there for those in need – especially if others aren't.
I
hope to always keep learning; discerning; being formed.
I
hope to be exactly the Priest God is calling me to be.
I
hope to always be a good Christian, friend, family member; me.
