I had lunch with a friend today, in the cathedral cafe. I came a little early and my friend was a little late. Which gave me time to take a memory lane detour.
The cathedral has always played an important part in my life. Today´s cafe is situated in a new, modern glass house. When I grew up there used to be an old, red, wooden building here. Most people found it kind of ugly. I loved its faded charm. When I was a teenager I belonged to the youth club which was run by the cathedral congregations. On Sundays we often came to the church early, and when the service started, we had Sunday school, or more kind of a babysitting, for the children. Sometimes inside the cathedral. More often in the old, red building. Where we could go wild in all the narrow hallways and tiny rooms.
Most of my memories from this period have faded away. But they are not gone completely. I am glad I am able to blow life into them from time to time.
As I sat there waiting for my friend I made a New Year´s resolution new season resolution. I will come early more often. To get time for memory lane walks.
