When the BBC tries to refresh the public's appetite
for everyday religion their efforts always show
how much it's listeners have poor memories,
of appetites, which were jaded in the first place.
Much of the public's forgetfulness
comes from overdosing on the media,
and ceasing to listen what is being said.
The truth about Radio 4's 'thought for the day'
is that it is meant to lift the items before and after it,
to make them fresher takes on the matters presented
than they would be were they placed elsewhere in the show.
But the thought for the day in itself
will always come across as old news
-it is hard to refresh
and rarely as inspired
as what it refreshes around it.
