Special Delivery (in two parts) Part Two

I wrote yesterday about what it is like for some guys in my profession now who have been subject to investigations by their regulator and how it hangs over their head and that wounds can be opened again with the smallest possible things.

But in that blog, I also explained that there was an hour over that 24 – 36 hour period where I did not think about the case at all (an hour when I was not asleep). In the middle of that period when it kept coming back to me every time at about 10 – 15 minutes I took my son to his football match on Sunday morning for the team that I coach.

For an hour on a Sunday nothing can enter and nothing can get in the way of what is happening with those 9 and 10 year old boys as they try their best in a football match on a Sunday morning in a division that nobody else cares about, against a team that nobody else has heard about.

This is meditation. This is escapism. This is therapy.

I have understood this for some time and now try to drop into my week at various places hours where the work cannot get in. Cinema club with Stuart is one of the purest versions of that. Last night it was the Thor movie which was pure joy. Football training on a Friday night or the game on a Sunday. This is a joy, to be able to spend time with your family and do something where concerns about your work do not enter or affect you. The wound opened again on Saturday last but it is closed now. The football, the cinema club, the family and the walk to work listening to books raises the memory and catapults me onto better things.
