[continued]

The importance of the 32-year ‘mid-life’ crisis becomes very clear – I thank God that (as I believe I was instructed) I broke away from employment, but am not so clear that my subsequent involvement in computers, book-keeping etc. was as it should have been. I suspect that I should have started a Theology degree at Llan[...] in October 1987, if I was going to do it at all; I would just have finished it now. Similarly if the Church had moved as fast as any sensible organisation in 1989 when I agreed to go ahead, I should have started their theology course in October 1989 and be half way through by now: the point is that I am rapidly moving out of a cerebral study phase and into a more active phase, and I doubt whether I should be willing to start a 2-year course in October 1991 (ie if I go round to them again and am accepted). This does not mean that I should have read Theology – only that I suspect that the time for doing so has almost past.

I am certainly changing with extraordinary rapidity, and with the necessity occasionally (as now) to re-centre myself. The point is not to leave the earlier stages – of the I[nner] C[ircle], at least – behind, but to roll them up with and behind one as one passes with them round the new circle(s).

The [3^rd] chart [, immediately above,] is very well spread at the moment – except C.

*The greater the period, I suspect, the greater the influence; but immediate periods have immediate influence. The quicker the change, the more noticeable it will be as a change; the longer the period, the more apparent as a period.
