A Grandaughter’s War

In around 1999 I wrote a poem called “A Woman’s War”, which is in the poetry section of this blog. Never did I think I would write a follow up, yet today that poem arrived, it’s below, and writing it actually hurt. Trying to get my head around the fact that we could be inContinueContinue reading “A Grandaughter’s War”

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”

Love or Fear?

Yes it’s an old chestnut, embrace love, skip through fields of flowers in the sunshine with a kicky sun hat on and a wicker basket on your arm. Although, quite frankly not prioritising feelings of love, doing things you love, loving how you feel, loving what you do, is categorically insane – unless life isn’tContinueContinue reading “Love or Fear?”

The Equality of War and Insults

They are for the weak This image doesn’t even begin to demonstrate the longevity of the problem. Humans wage war and humans insult. We’re in the 21st Century and social media has clearly demonstrated that as a race we have barely advanced. Technological complications Yes we laud our technology, the fancy stuff we can build,ContinueContinue reading “The Equality of War and Insults”

Shot of Truth?

Michael Neill’s inspiring work emphasizes the impact of thoughts and words on our actions and the world. Reflecting on the history of war and present conflicts, he urges self-awareness and control of our thoughts. His personal experience reinforces the profound influence of our thoughts and the importance of managing them.

Everything

I have a strong personal belief when it comes to race, skin colour, gender, religion, cultural beliefs. It’s simply that as soul we are atoms who have formed a pattern called soul, which has manifested here as all things over time. I believe that the multi genders represent soul evolution where humans are being bornContinueContinue reading “Everything”

The Empire of Certainty

Photo by Skitterphoto on Pexels.com The similarity between you and the Holy Roman Empire. That was the original title of a piece of my very old writing that I re-discovered at the weekend, by finally opening the huge box of notes I’d made, poems I’d forgotten, and things I must have known I would eventuallyContinueContinue reading “The Empire of Certainty”
