Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood? Once every summer Just as a treat My dad he went a’shopping Down pavements soft with heat We’d wait with bated breath Was it just a dream What if our corner shop Had run out of ice cream? Or perhaps the Gods of sodaContinueContinue reading “Ice Cream and Cream Soda”

Jesus
Who is your favorite historical figure? Odd one I know as my religion isn’t attached to a church. As my mother once said “Jesus could pray anywhere and so can I”. To me following anything good has to be about who you are 24/7, not just at specific times in specific places. To follow theContinueContinue reading “Jesus”
Spock
Write about your first crush. There was a rumour that women were drawn to Spock because they wanted to be the one to make him feel emotion. The ultimate triumph. However, as a 13 year old I wasn’t capable of that, true I was becoming an adult, but even so I don’t think I hadContinueContinue reading “Spock”
Tricky Question Nowadays
What countries do you want to visit? It’s hard to know where to go now. Nowhere at war, near a war, or where there might be a war. That counts America out as well. A lot of Europe don’t want tourists, so it’s a bit awkward wanting to go there. Research is needed. Nowhere tooContinueContinue reading “Tricky Question Nowadays”
Double Edged Sword
What’s your favorite thing about yourself? I care a great deal about people, animals, and the planet, which is both a good thing and an exhausting one. It can leave you trying to solve problems you can’t solve, such as the atrocities in first Ukraine, then Israel, then Gaza, and now it’s widening out. MoreContinueContinue reading “Double Edged Sword”
I Am but I Don’t
How do you want to retire? I’m three years past retirement age yet my work is taking off and I love it. I’m energised by it. It’s taken me twenty years to find myself in my work, but I don’t mind that as I learn then I share. It was my life path to doContinueContinue reading “I Am but I Don’t”
No Idea
What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily? Me I guess. This was taken about 18 years ago. I loved that dress. It was unusual. Full length at the back. But the ownership idea comes from realising that I need to own my own mind and my own life, and stop allowingContinueContinue reading “No Idea”
1984
Describe one of your favorite moments. The box is on the floor, just sitting there looking at me. I’m standing back a bit wondering what the heck I’ve just done. Can I cope? I’ve never had anything like this. Should I have bought it? What do I do with it? I was suddenly truly scaredContinueContinue reading “1984”
Good is Enough
What notable things happened today? This poem resonates today Today was nothing unusual and I don’t mind that at all. I’ve felt good, that’s wonderful. Our cat had his yearly injections and needs a few teeth looked at around Christmas time. That’s not unexpected at his age. He was wonderful at the vets, which isContinueContinue reading “Good is Enough”
Soul-centred Living
What are you passionate about? And people. There are so many people struggling out there and I know I can make a difference. It drives me nuts because I want to help. People are so important and yet the way most of us are living is wrong. Believing things that hurt us that keep usContinueContinue reading “Soul-centred Living”
