Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time reflection by Paul Nicholson
If only Belonging wasn’t so messy. If only Belonging came with a simple black and white lens; this is what it looks like to belong, this is what it looks like not to belong. But the experience of it, for me, tends toward the messiness of many shades of grey. It’s not that I go about deliberately looking for ambiguity when I choose to belong. It just seems to find me. Also, I wish it was only ambiguity, but if I’m honest I often encounter a wide range of feelings: ambivalence, irritation, anger, fear, privilege, pride, joy, melancholy, safety.
