Scars

The more I live the less it feels like I know. I’ve certainly found myself struggling with who I am in this modern world and, most of all, with keeping hold of what I can only describe as some kind of innocence/love/compassion that I remember beating deep in my heart not so long ago. IContinue reading “Scars”

Being at war.. with ourselves

The barriers of our everyday The world is changing. It’s scary and uncomfortable and I can see so many good things, and bad, being born and dying; Hatreds being faced and destroyed (or fanned up and new born); Fears being cut down (or grown). Yet, nothing truly seems to change. Not here, at the heart.WeContinue reading “Being at war.. with ourselves”

BECAUSE..

Because, we all are a little broken.. Because every scar hidden inside burns a little.. Because., because sometimes we watch a perfect world and don’t realise they’re hiding scars too.. Because it’s easy to forget we all hurt at times. That we aren’t alone, and there are people who know hurt like ours. That sometimes,Continue reading “BECAUSE..”

Dreams – Magic for a year newly begun

I’ve begun this year at home, isolating like so many others. For me it’s been both good and hard at the same time.

Covid deniers- a little logic

I used to live in lies. It was a lot easier to do than face the truth, because, mundane as the truth was, it left nowhere to hide and no-one to blame. <0> I saw some posts by some people today, where they claimed that medical staff are lying and Covid is a lie. ItContinue reading “Covid deniers- a little logic”

Weak/Strong

In many ways I’m following on from my previous post with this one. I recently came across the opinion, online, that ‘left wing attitudes are wrong because they try to make everyone equal when the truth is that we aren’t all the same and some are weak while others are strong.’ It’s an opinion thatContinue reading “Weak/Strong”

The Strategy of Kindness

I have to admit that it saddens and surprises me so often when people are nasty, or depicted as such, especially when it’s for no good reason. Strangely, I can find no obvious benefit for such actions either, other than to avoid something you fear. <0> Oh, I know the basic premise ( as ScroogeContinue reading “The Strategy of Kindness”

Seeing the light of others

Reflections on beautiful music I’ve just been sat listening to ( ok, crying to ) some songs which I like, among them Christina Perri’s “Only Human” and Clean Bandit’s “Symphony”. It’s funny how a song or movie can touch you so much, releasing the flood gates on held back emotions or opening eyes to worldsContinue reading “Seeing the light of others”
