Copenhagen

Another new moon, and I have a sense that this phase brings opportunities to identify and tie up loose ends once and for all, though there may be confusion and distractions as part of this.  It is like watching a pot getting ready to come to the boil, with agitation and movement hidden beneath the […]

Peace in Afghanistan?

The new bishop to the armed forces has created a stir by commending the commmitment of the Taliban to their faith, to their people and their land.  In his words there is the implicit suggestion that their belligerence is far more than terrorism, and that to treat the conflict in terms of being black and […]

Thoughts and facts

I am re-reading a book by Jon Kabat-Zinn, a well-known meditation teacher, and who happens to be the author of "Mindfulness Meditation for Everyday Life", my recommendation of the month. A short but powerful sentance that he wrote has lingered with me.  It is "A thought is not a fact".   So much of our awake […]

Mother Earth

Itis an intensely still, calm day here in mid-Wales, a clear blue sky and so warm in the sunshine that insects have woken up and newts have become active in the ponds.  Apart from the roar of the river there is no sound to be heard,and the light upon the mountains and meadows is extraordinary.   […]

Science and truth

Climate change is top of the news agenda, and not because of the imminent Copenhagen Summit.  I have said before that this is the time when what has been hidden will be revealed, often unpalatably at least and sometimes shockingly.  Many of the people who care about the wellbeing of the Planet will be in […]

Lunar cycles

Another powerful full moon today... and the end of the cycle of tests and challenges, for now.  It has been a tricky period for many people with whom I have interacted, and just as it drew to a close I heard of burst pipes, broken boilers, flooded rooms and other such accidents.  For me also […]

Messages and Messengers

A number of friends and clients have contacted me in the last few days from different parts of the world, all commenting on the energetic changes they have become aware of, similar wherever they live and always positive.  They speak of their sense of a new era becoming established, of a particularly beautiful aspect of […]

Simplicity in action

Amidst the news of Russian train crashes, below-standard hospitals and the part hubris played in the conduct of the Iraq War, I learned today of a man who lives near Bristol, in a solar-powered caravan.  He has lived for a year without earning money or spending money, eating the fruits of nature and the leftovers […]
