Photo by Anna Shvets on Pexels.com Sometimes I wonder if the world would be a much happier place if we humans had much better attitudes. We all know we need to take more care of the planet, appreciate it more, honour what it gives us, those things are a given. We worship unseen gods, yetContinueContinue reading “Good world bad inhabitants?”

Balance

You Should See Her
I love the twist at the end of this poem. One of those where you think it’s obvious and then it isn’t. But to me, as a spiritual thinker, this has an important point. We’re more alike than we think, and there’s a little bit of everything in all of us. It’s quite weird lookingContinueContinue reading “You Should See Her”
Please God
Photo by Asad Photo Maldives on Pexels.com In re-reading this after so many years I felt uncomfortable with the anti-male attitude, but instead it’s an exploration of feelings, and an acknowledgement that what we feel may not be the only truth.She turns and smiles at meand I feel my womb smile in returnand echo onContinueContinue reading “Please God”

Ode by a Crazy Wabbit
Poetry doesn’t always have to be seriousPhoto by Pixabay on Pexels.com I’m perched on a rock seeking squizzlesI knows they’re nefarious chapsThey’re feisty and fast-y and nutty and craftyAnd they laugh at us WabbitsPerhaps…We shouldn’t put up with their anticsWe shouldn’t put up with their nutsThey confuse us by talking semanticsAnd making us feel likeContinueContinue reading “Ode by a Crazy Wabbit”
Newton’s Law (of communication)
I know I’ve used this image before, but I love it, and it reflects the subject matter of communication snafu’s. One of the things humans either take for granted, don’t think through properly, and generally mess up, is communication. Especially about difficult subjects. Few of us enjoy being criticised or told we’re wrong, especially asContinueContinue reading “Newton’s Law (of communication)”
