It’s Tuesday here, and hectic busy, but thankfully I already have the next two days of blog posts done and waiting for edits in drafts. I made a commitment, mostly to myself (because who else is going to be bothered?) to blog once a day from now on. When I made that commitment I had […]
I am walking with Hoge’s There are grain kernels and smashed carcasses of pink and grey galahs all over the bitumen road The grain kernels are scattered from the trucks as they bring in the bumper harvest The galahs are so focused on picking the kernels out of the crevices in the bitumen that they […]
The wounds we impose on ourselves psychically can be far more painful and lasting than the ones we physically inflict. I find it interesting that the etymology of the word psychic stems from the latin word psychicus meaning “relating to the soul”. When we wound our psyche we damage our soul. We have all heard […]
The text came through just as I lifted my head from the schedule I was working on “have you forgotten something?” Immediately my appointment popped into my head. I checked my watch. Two hours had sped past since I last checked. I was now late. I hastily texted, “on my way!” But she had another […]

So yesterday morning whilst sipping my morning coffee I pondered the daily prompt It was open – write about whatever you want If I wasn’t writing poetry daily, this would have been cause […]
Is faith not memory and experience brought into the present moment? Not the blind nor religious kind – for this purpose, they are not important Faith, the reassurance that slowly builds in the mind I did not die that time, though my fear screamed that I would Perhaps should Something protected me Upheld and enfolded […]
