So sing REM. This song formed part of our Sunday night's reflection on 'baggage' and what do with it. Assisted by Rob Bell - via Nooma video, Luggage - we thought about baggage and forgiveness and being hurt and hating it and being freed from it...sometimes. We all have baggage don't we and we are so often sick and tired of carrying it around. I want to be free from it. So, too, do many others.
A ritual which helped. We lit a candle. The candle represented someone who we need to forgive or, perhaps, someone who needs to forgive us. We, hopefully, left it there to burn away as we moved on. For some of us we needed to make contact with the forgiven and some did. For others it was too late. They are no longer with us. But it was all part of birthing the good news of forgiveness in us so it becomes part of our good 'baggage'.
How best do we deal with 'baggage'? Ignore it? Burn it? Re-pack it?
