Back in September, when I was definitely drifting and not sure where I wanted to head in life next, a friend lent me a small clay coracle and said it was to remind me off the saints who drifted to where they believed God was taking them, without sails or oars. At the time I wondered what the modern equivalent is? We set a direction we make choices, it’s not about drifting. The metaphor of the coracle has helped me more than I thought. I decided in December to apply for social work, the application for courses is done through a central body and you put down five choices. The result has not been what I wanted or expected but feeling that it is like getting in a coracle and seeing where I end up has helped me to except this as the next step, and even to look forward to it.
