This month, in the UK, is LGBT History month, and as part of that I am revisiting some of my favourite books by LGBT authors such as Armistead Maupin. Some of these books are also spiritual books such “Through Brokenness” by Liz Stuart which I highly recommend, This week I have been reading 10 SpiritualContinue reading “Spiritual Truths”

Sacred Scrabble
The last two years have felt so serious haven’t they, each week another scandal / covid / scandal sandwich. As we approach 2022, I don’t know about you, but I need a serious of dose joy, of fun, of frivolous endeavours. We need time to re-explore our hobbies, our passion, our past times and thoseContinue reading “Sacred Scrabble”
Porridge
One morning this week I turned to my husband and said, “This is the worst porridge we have ever bought.” We have eaten porridge for breakfast for years and have tried many a brand, so we now know the very best through to the very worst. You are probably thinking “But Kevin porridge is justContinue reading “Porridge”
Windfall
Earlier this week I was sat in the garden thinking about these prayers. A near-ripe pear fell from its branch and landed by my side with a thud. The pear tree is now full of pears almost ready to harvest and each day a few fall to the ground to signify this. We call theContinue reading “Windfall”
Celebrate Today
Ten days ago I turned 41. How did that happen? It feels like only a few weeks ago I turned 40. I remember turning 9 and feeling very grown up. Then 17, at which point I couldn’t even conceive turning 25, let alone 41. Sometimes it seems like time flows and shifts at different paces,Continue reading “Celebrate Today”

Of course, while we try to take in what is happening there, we forget about the wars andContinue reading “Pride”

It was lovely to see them playing. Animals it seems, like children, know the intrinsic value of being playful,Continue reading “Let Us Play”
Walk on Water
This morning, as I walked at one of my most favourite parts of town, I took time to enjoy being near to the river. I took time to enjoy the stillness, the peace, the sense of flow. Rather than heading off to work what I really wanted to do was grab a kayak or aContinue reading “Walk on Water”
Returning to Stillness
Mid-June and we are on our way to summer. For many of us summer is the time when the fun really gets going, long hot days to enjoy out and about. There is feeling of urgency, that we must get out more, do more. A feeling that if you don’t spend the weekend down theContinue reading “Returning to Stillness”
The Long View
The other day I was driving to work and for some reason was in a rather impatient frame of mind. The roads were fairly busy and yet the car driver in front of me was leaving a large gap between them and the next car in front. As we drove along in a rather stopContinue reading “The Long View”
