Humans have an odd way of finding reasons to be upset, something that is exacerbated in multicultural societies. I mean, why not take against someone for their skin colour? There’s nothing better to do in a day is there? When the religion is different that just adds to the fun doesn’t it? Now that weContinueContinue reading “Minefield Time of Year”

Touch
This is the first poem in the Source series, which explores the idea of what God, however you spell that, might be thinking. In this blog I also explain my relationship with that energy. It’s quite different to the one I learned in church.
A Song for All Democracies
Tonight I was watching probably the most uninspiring Last Night of the Proms I’ve seen. There were some wonderful songs and acts, the best of which was Bohemian Rhapsody. But the energy just wasn’t there. Something was just off compared to Proms of the past. It got me thinking though. Land of Hope and GloryContinueContinue reading “A Song for All Democracies”
I See You Now
Age brings with it understanding. You see why your party’s may not have aged happily, lost their spark, become frustrated and disillusioned. You can learn from that and I’m grateful for the lessons my parents showed me.
Balance
Nature is about harmony and balance. Left to itself nature would thrive, natural predators would ensure balance, the air would be cleaner, the waters purer and with less plastic. The planet would be cooler. We are not. Imbalance We are not only bad for the planet, we are bad for each other, and appalling forContinueContinue reading “Balance”

On Society: The Other-hood of Man
One of the problems with our society is that we’re taught to see people as ‘other’. When in fact if you could look below the skin you would see exactly the same components. Over the centuries we have divided ourselves by race, religion, colour, creed, and now gender. These divisions are so many centuries oldContinueContinue reading “On Society: The Other-hood of Man”
On Society
For most of my life I’ve had a political mind, and yet I don’t want to go into politics. More and more lately I’ve felt that as a society we need to look at ourselves. To consider how our behaviour, beliefs, and prejudices, affect the world that we’re creating that the children of the futureContinueContinue reading “On Society”
Discomfort
Cats can be comfy in any position This comes from my sense of discomfort in my writing: I want to be funny Write of beauty But there is war I want to walk you down flower filled lanes Where we watch the butterflies and bees But children are suffering I want us to travel toContinueContinue reading “Discomfort”
Spiritual Living: Spirituality?
One of the biggest questions you will ever have to answer if you embrace this way of thinking, and one with so many individual answers you will definitely be wrong on a regular basis in someone’s eyes, is: What is spirituality? What does it mean to be spiritual in a human world? How do youContinueContinue reading “Spiritual Living: Spirituality?”
