On time and in trust

Many of the bird visitors from the south are getting ready to return home, having achieved their purpose of producing young in a temporate climate.  I will miss them.  They have been here a few weeks, but their departure is a sign that we are nearing the summer solstice and that soon the nights will […]

Winds of change

The energy of change everywhere is very strong at the moment, and I sense it particularly today.  It is not just what I wrote about yesterday - imposed changes in attitude to the "me" and "must have" society as a result of the worldwide financial crisis - but it applies to our sense of self, […]

Feeling the pain to come

There is much in the British news today about the need for severe cuts and retrenchment which will affect everybody because of the massive debt the country has built up. I will be unpopular for saying this, but while I know I will feel pain too - quite rightly - in many ways I welcome […]

Cumbria yesterday

There can be few people in Britain, at least, who were not touched or shocked by the killings in Cumbria yesterday, on a beautiful summer's day in an idyllic rural idyll.   It is a stark reminder of the uncertainty of life and of human nature. You who read this know, I am sure, that everyone […]

When a situation becomes unacceptable

For a little while now we have been building up to an increasingly volatile international situation, coming to a head in the next few days and then in the next few weeks.  Israel's attack on the Gaza aid convoy over the weekend may prove to be a catalyst in this, and also an opportunity for […]

The blame game is well under way as President Obama says he holds BP totally responsible for the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico, while BP has accused its American subsidiary running the rig as having failed.  The American people are starting to blame the Obama administration meanwhile. What is being overlooked here is […]

The Christ Festival

Just past midnight tonight it will be the full moon and the time of the last of the great spiritual festivals of the year - the Christ Festival.  It is the time when humanity comes together in an act of invocation to God, praying for fellowship, human and spiritual unity.  It is about community consciousness […]

Plundering Earth

As I write, a tanker is leaking thousands of gallons of oil into the seas off Singapore, and arguments are becoming more forceful between different countries over drilling rights in environmentally pristine parts of the world. Another way of expressing it is that they are arguing over the life-blood of the planet, and so oil […]

Making haste slowly

One of my relatives is in hospital at the moment, hopefully not for much longer.  She has been quite poorly at times, however, and it has been necessary to keep closely in touch with the different points of contact there for some days. It has been remarkable (or perhaps not so!)  that almost every conversation […]
