2nd October
The vicar came to tea today.
He wasn't quite your usual vicar, since he's in the metropolitan community church, which I'm thinking of joining.
he's very lovely and he laughs a lot and when I was talking a bit about the whole process of transitioning from John to Jo he said he could do a ceremony of re-naming. A baptism, if I wanted.
I was so moved at the thought of this I started crying...
There is something so profound and poignant in all this that I simply don't understand.
Maybe don't need to understand. Maybe it passes all understanding.
But my weird sense that spirituality is at the heart of us isn't so weird after all...
