Nomad Spirituality

On the 13th day of Christmas, Nomad gave to me...

A reflection from Christa Tippett.

A Christmas reflection by Christa Tippett.

You forgot to put Christmas in at the start, but people would know it's Christmas because it's Christmas.

Indeed.

So this is the 13th reflection.

You'd have thought it.

We've taken the 12 days of Christmas and we just added a little extra to it.

We like to add a bit more, don't we?

It's like our sort of banter and stuff like that at the end of the beginning of interviews.

Completely unnecessary, but it just adds a little something, isn't it? And my fear was, yes, we've got this great tradition of 12 days of Christmas, but, you know, we can do something with that. We can take it, we can move it on a step.

I was soaking in the bath last night, and it suddenly dawned on me as I was reflecting on

Nomad's 12 days of Christmas. Do people want Nomad every day for what is now 13 days?

Well, they don't have to tune in, do they?

I suppose.

They can pick and choose.

Our faithful listeners that want to keep abreast of nomadic events

who feel like a commitment to listen to it,

we've actually given them quite a lot, haven't we?

It could be a headache if you're kind of, you know,

that sort of person that needs to listen to everything all the time. People are going to have to drop something from their day to fit this in, aren't they?
