Crime and Community Service

I have not heard the details of what the new British Justice Secretary is proposing on prison reform, but I understand it may involve less incarceration and more rehabilitation in the community for lesser offenders. The cries of protest have begun to be heard already at this idea.  For me, if it is done sensibly, […]

Spies and discernment

I was interested but not surprised to learn that a network of spies working for the Russians in the US has been discovered.   It appears they have been living undercover using false identities as part of their local community, and were not connected to the Embassy at all.  It appears also as if their methods […]

Going back in time

In my last Commentary I talked about the significance in Saturday's full moon, which was about conclusions and endings, and the importance of setting the tone for your next long cycle through how you were on that day. Someone e-mailed in the afternoon, rather concerned because she had just read what I had written and […]

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 […]

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 […]

People in glass houses

I am no advocate for BP, a company however which is learning and teaching hard lessons about corporate responsibility and complacency.  Many people involved in similar lucrative but potentially risky businesses will be thinking, in the wake of the Gulf oil leak, "There but for the grace of God go I".   It is such […]

Undercurrents

A sleepy feeling is starting to come upon the world, a sense that the media is looking for interesting news stories because there are not many around, and that people are preparing for holidays.  The main issues continue to be BP and the economic situation, but, weeks on, nothing much seems to be happening to change […]

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 […]
