A short story written early to mark remembrance day. He asked why the flowers lay at the foot of the gravestone. All about them the wild wind whipped up flurries of leaves in its lament; a swirling storm of rusty oranges and muted browns twisting round trees and graves like an ever moving mist. TheContinue reading “A grave to remember”

Night Musings
Trigger warning: A reference to self harm, spouse beating and drug use is included It’s been a long time since I wrote. I guess I feel like my opinions don’t fit with the world today. I don’t know anymore. I’ve taken to avoiding news stories and political sites because I’m not sure if I’m evenContinue reading “Night Musings”
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”
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”
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”
A Million colours Shining
A sense of community online I know. I’m breaking rule no 1 ( or is that no 2 ) of blogging – always make sure the title says it all!Well actually, I think the title does say it all, just as a feeling. <0> I like to look at what is going on among myContinue reading “A Million colours Shining”
The Dark Side Inside
Learning from our inner darkness So I’ve found myself musing. ( And be warned, this is controversial )My big question of the day is; what are we inside? I know, very mystical and without clarity..Seriously though, I’ve been reading about mercy and kindness, and anger and hate; about the lies we carry and the limitsContinue reading “The Dark Side Inside”
My Grey Shadow – Fear
Trigger warning – This topic includes deep fear, the after affects of bullying, and the fear of living ( may affect those with suicidal thoughts ) I woke afraid this morning. Well, when I say afraid I should explain that I’m using that word to mean something deeper than just the simple worries that manyContinue reading “My Grey Shadow – Fear”
A Sparkle of Cultures
Some differences between us are obvious and hardly mean anything at all when it comes to telling us who these people are. I’m thinking skin colour and gender, age and money. Others are so hard to see unless you care enough to look but sing like a bright wonderful choir of people’s hearts and lives.Continue reading “A Sparkle of Cultures”
