GOD IS … I thought to myself “What is god?” Knowing within myself none could say for sure “Who is god?” And like many who have gone before I am allowed to write and record a concept a precept in pursuit of an answer to the question. I thought to myself […]

Posted on December 5, 2019 Leave a Comment
Being on ‘socials’ over the past few years has revealed information – some invaluable, some galling, relating to spirituality, religion, belief, and disbelief.

Sad Stories in Threes
Posted on February 7, 2017 Leave a Comment
As a member of a number of social networks, I am particularly fond of LinkedIn where I take part in homepage discussions from time to time. One of my favourite exercises involved a response to a ‘set task’ – to write a sad story in three words. I found this fascinating. I had previously come […]

I’ve already received gifts and greetings and a recommendation to go ahead and spoil myself and eat chocolate cake for my birthday. I’m happy about that, I feel vindicated.
