Thoughts on Copenhagen

Many people are disappointed, even angry at the outcome of the Copenhagen Summit, and understandably so. Such high hopes for real change had preceded it, but nothing of substance seems to have been achieved. However, something hugely important has happened in the last few days. Global political concerns and priorities have been exposed and it […]

The solstice meditation

I know that some of you who are kind enough to read my Commentaries occasionally are intending to listen to my Solstice meditation on Monday. I am happy to say that it is available now, through the website Community Members' Area, in case anyone prefers to do the meditation ahead of the day itself. It […]

Changing energies, new opportunities

It may be the result of the new moon, but I awoke today with the sense of a major shift having taken place overnight. The energies feel different, and it is as if something has snapped, the boil has burst - whatever mataphor you choose to use - and we are into an intense but […]

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. […]

over-population continued

There was an interesting reaction to my observations in my last post about the world being over-populated, as I knew there would be. It is a sensitive subject, and few people in our western world, understandably, would like to be told what size family to have. As in everything, freedom of choice - where […]

Climate change and personal responsibility

The Copenhagen Summit is under way now, and the arguments about national and corporate duty to do with emissions reduction continue. I wonder if and when there will be discussion about individual responsibility in all of this? Many people listen with half an ear to the political and scientific debate, almost as if […]

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 […]
