Characters at play… I was going to write a load of waffle about browsing the campus library years ago as a student, looking for a play to explore and direct. I did write a few paragraphs about how our days are surrounded by the theatrics of our lives. How life’s stages are filled with sets, […]

Running on empty…
Running on empty… ‘tis the season… where many celebrate, where many take to the stage, where many laud in traditions and habits, and indeed many create new memories… the first time’s never forgotten… as footprints form in deep, crisp and even snow, familiar tunes from childhood are hard to escape or forget… perhaps the only […]
And so this is Christmas… (2016)
Last Christmas I wittered about angels, the year before I also pondered ‘angels’… Not that I have a thing about angels at all, but… well it’s a Christmas thing, so here we go again… Over the years our kids have ‘done’ a song for Christmas, but as they get older and more influenced by culture […]
All we want for Christmas…
It’s been a year! A lot’s been learned about the nature of people and their passions, and also their poison. Together with a lot of you, we had a great ‘Goodbye to 2016’ in November. Thanks to all again, true friends are people that are just there sharing the same old shift! Hopefully, we can […]

Over the period of 40 days leading up to the festival of Easter, where possible, I’ve been trying to ‘notice’ things around and within me a tad more.

This morning was a very normal morning. Overcast, mild, a normal ride in down very normal back streets with very normal people… I have recently been reminded to be aware of people*. This morning I breakfasted with my young family; a fraught affair with spillages, tantrums, laughter, worries, sharing and hopes. (I have been remined […]
Advent-ure
Advent: “Reaching out to grasp eternal things” (Alfred Delp) Like when you come in from a frosty day and the warmth of the room causes tingles and a buzzing glow to your skin, the vibrancy of life can be incandescent, the warmth of true simple joy can be fervent and intoxicating; …from the fragrant zest […]
I never made it…
RAW DATA: Today I went to a open meeting about contemplation and creativity – I never made it. I went to talk to some people who meet to discuss and create visual art. Specifically contemplative art (Is there any other form of art? I wonder). I have seen some of the group’s creations and I […]
(Started April 2011 – see below) Update December 2016 Not such an easy task… (an update on a previous post) I posted recently that after more than 5 years on reduced rigging, I am now again finally trying a fuller set of sails. For more than 5 years Citalopram has helped take the winds […]
