My conversations with him are so often ‘duty calls’in which I’m thinking to myself ‘how quick can I make this without offending him’. My daughter is just coming up to her teenage years and this is how she’s getting with me – talking to me is a means to a goal for her, rather than the primary goal in itself. Conversely, I long to spend time in my aged Mum’s presence, to share experiences and talk about deeper matters than the weather and the price of tomatoes. “In all your ways acknowledge him”. I always think of this as God-is-on-my-shoulder… seeing what I see, hearing what I hear, watching what I do, and we’re talking to each other all the time… resting in each other: remaining in each other.
