Finding your intent

Another full moon today, but this time of some significance, symbolising death and rebirth, the ending of old cycles in preparation for new ones to come both personal and global. How you deal with today will determine what happens for the rest of your life.  Yes, that sounds dramatic, I know!  I believe it to […]

Polarisation

Today, this very day, there are many instances of vested interest driving the world agenda.  The ongoing conference on whaling seems unable to prevent expansion of the trade; oil industry lobby groups have overturned the ban on deep water drilling imposed by the US President; and the different interest groups in the UK are protesting […]

Bees

While the news media has chosen to focus on the British budget today along with football, it was heartening to hear prominence being given to research which is to be undertaken to explore why bees are in decline and what to do about it.  For years, government spending in this area has been reducing as […]

Priorities at the Solstice

The summer solstice... and this part of the planet, here in mid-Wales, is looking its best.  It is a still, calm day with clear blue skies, and the colours of the trees and the plants are vibrant still.  There is a sense of gratitude - certainly from me for the beauty of the day and […]

The Saville Inquiry

There has been, overall, a subdued, respectful reaction to the Saville Report into the events in Northern Ireland thirty eight years ago in which 13 people died.  The unequivocal findings were so clear that there was no room for political capital, nor any desire for it.  Yesterday was a day when honesty and transparency were […]

Learning from the experts

I had the opportunity yesterday to join a local nature group for a few hours, the intent being to explore an area of mountain grassland not far from my home.  I was a little disconcerted to find myself the only amateur among a group of experienced and highly knowledgeable entomologists and ornithologists (all men!), but […]

Football and beyond

I may be one of just a handful of people who is unmoved by the the football World Cup which has just begun.  I am unlikely to watch it, but if the England team does well then I will be happy for all its supporters, even though I feel more Welsh than English! It is […]

Leadership

The oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico is bringing to light many aspects of the character of man, some of them admirable, some of them less so.  We may see the compassion of the many who seek out and tend the damaged birds and animals; we may see the dignity and integrity of some […]
