Hope

It feels like I bounce around a bit with my posts as the whim and events in my life nudge my thoughts, and I felt it was time to do things a bit differently. Ive been struggling of late with trying to reconcile how life is and has been, with who I am and whatContinue reading “Hope”

Behind the Blogs

I don’t know about anyone else reading this but I find that sometimes I worry about how one dimentional our views of even other humans can easily become at this point in time.I say ‘at this time’ but, for all I know, this time has always existed. It’s very easy to watch people from aContinue reading “Behind the Blogs”

What is Brave?

Am I brave? I read recently a post by someone who didn’t feel themselves brave and was watching others charging at the world and seeing themselves in comparisson ( https://www.facebook.com/The-Voice-Of-Grace-Whispers-In-The-Sand-105104854644749 ). It got me thinking. I have an odd view of bravery, I think. It’s not about the lack of fear because doing something thatContinue reading “What is Brave?”

Hiding in Habits

I’m stuck at home right now – a sudden heatwave makes it both dangerous for my health and for the life of the gardens I look after to work today. All very logical and proper but, when you wake feeling ok and look out at sunshine the first thing that comes to mind is, “You’reContinue reading “Hiding in Habits”

Be Longing

Musings on movies, anger and choosing to be again I watched an old Goldie Hawn movie yesterday. Really, I never imagined starting a blog with such a line.. Anyway I ended up watching this movie. It wasn’t an instant choice or because I’m a big Goldie Hawn fan. Rather, I simply wanted to watch somethingContinue reading “Be Longing”

Who am I?

It’s a bad habit isn’t it? Well it feels like one to me. A good way of avoiding the most important elephant in the room. What am I talking about? Telling people what you think they should do or how the world is. It’s something I almost fell into recently. Getting so lost in theContinue reading “Who am I?”

Worlds in Worlds

My Thoughts on Protests, Politics and Segregation in its many forms You may have noticed that I’ve not posted for a while. The truth is that I’ve had a lot on my mind and, if I’m brutally honest, I wasn’t sure what was real, to write about, any more. <o> No, this ISN’T where IContinue reading “Worlds in Worlds”

The Sound of Harmony in Crisis

Once again a post by Kylara ( http://kylarathought.blogspot.com/2020/03/dealing-with-dark-times.html ) has focused my thoughts in my own writing. <o> Now is probably one of the hardest things we, as a world community, will ever face together. A crisis reaching into every part of our personal lives, not just out and about but finding its way intoContinue reading “The Sound of Harmony in Crisis”

Words have Power

Ok, so I’m sure this doesn’t come as a surprise to most people reading this but, as the title suggests, I feel that words have power. I know, it’s quite a well understood point but I feel it’s one we need to stop and think about every so often.. It’s certainly been one which seemsContinue reading “Words have Power”

Think, Don’t Panic

Anyone else looking around at empty store shelves and panicking comments and remembering those disaster movies where the poor person in the wheelchair gets trampled by the mad crowd? Now, before I go on I should clarify that, yes, this is a worrying time and we face a dangerous virus and by all means weContinue reading “Think, Don’t Panic”
