My Fellow Writers

What are three objects you couldn’t live without? That’s not three objects, and it’s way more than three writers. I hope. As you may have noticed, my blogs since the war broke out probably need their own category called ‘outrage and disbelief’. If you haven’t read “I believe in choices” because I posted it veryContinueContinue reading “My Fellow Writers”

Woke and Sensible

So, there’s a possibility that we are facing WWIII. I’m not going into dramatic language about that, it’s bad enough without adding to it. Are we so sure now that the Woke, who preach peace, respect, and inclusion, are the idiots in this world? Some will say yes because we’re unrealistic, stupid enough to thinkContinueContinue reading “Woke and Sensible”

I Believe in Choices

Turnaround

If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why? It wouldn’t be ‘turnaround’ I’ve just turned the question around. In life humans often focus on what they don’t want rather than what they do. It’s the things I do want that are far more important to me; especiallyContinueContinue reading “Turnaround”

So, is God Woke?

I was vaguely skimming a bunfight on social media this morning where a person trying to remain balanced and understanding was lambasted as Woke. As I wondered at the unnecessary language it came to my mind that trying to be understanding and compassionate is in line with the God of love. Which would probably makeContinueContinue reading “So, is God Woke?”

The Authentic Self

Last night in group we were talking about authenticity. I woke up this morning wondering what it actually is at heart. The obvious rules are be yourself and speak your truth. But rules are often incomplete because they operate at the mind level not the heart level. At the mind level you’re open and truthful,ContinueContinue reading “The Authentic Self”
