Many people have taken up the habit of having a word for the year. They use it sort of like a new year’s intention. I prefer to look back over the previous 12 months and come up with a word that encapsulates the year that has been. What I have learned perhaps. It’s a pretty […]
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 […]
Who were you two hundred years ago? Who will you be two hundred years from now? I eat my apple quietly enjoying the colours of the sky, the deepening evening silence I toss the core to the ants that circle beneath the tree After all they need to eat too They circle it greedily, and […]

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 […]
I’ve been pottering in my vegetable and herb garden this morning. I find it peaceful and inspiring. The bright green, in different shades and textures, there is some red, some splashes of yellow. My vintage tomato bush is like a pregnant mother; I anxiously watch tiny tomatoes’ clusters change from green to purple. Purple! I […]
