A Good Reason to be Proud

I grew up loving history and myths & legends. Seeing the stories come to life of great kings and wondrous feats; of 500 Spartans holding a pass or elephants marching the Alps; of a powerful queen fighting back the legions or roaring battles on the high seas; of men who could stand like gods andContinue reading “A Good Reason to be Proud”

Reflections, Realisations & Responsibility

I recently read a post about Critical Race theory. It was the first time I’d heard of it and I did a quick google search to get a basic gist. My first thought was that it sounded like a positive step away from just trying to impose rules and towards changing thoughts. The idea (Continue reading “Reflections, Realisations & Responsibility”

Reason To Believe — The Sound Hole

Ignore the 70s hair… “If I listened long enough to you, I’d find a way to believe that it’s all true…knowing that you lied…straight-faced while I cried…still I look to find a reason to believe.” Those lyrics always spoke to me, spoke to me about betrayal, about the reality of people knowing they lied, and […]Continue reading “Reason To Believe — The Sound Hole”

Dangerous Silence

I’ve had this niggling need to write this post for quite a while but have been reluctant to, because I know that it’s a topic I only know a little of and one which I could easily make a mess of. However it’s just kept niggling at me, getting stronger and stronger so I shallContinue reading “Dangerous Silence”

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. Hard because I’ve had to make sure that I have the money to survive, but more so because I’ve grown so used to having every waking hour busy with work or worryContinue reading “Dreams – Magic for a year newly begun”

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”
