Another day in Afghanistan

What was so shocking about the massacre of British and Afghani soldiers yesterday was that it was carried out by their comrades, people who had eaten and drunk and slept and served with them, people they trusted and mentored, and thought of as their own family.   It was the ultimate betrayal. It is believed the […]

The Moon in Scorpio

It was the full moon last night, the moon in Scorpio which is the sign of testing and triumph.  So, don't be suprised if you are reminded frequently of your human frailties and the learnings for your personality and soul in this period! As I look out at my blustery, squally landscape, there is a […]

All change...

Overnight the calm sunny days of our October Indian Summer have transformed themselves into squalls and turbulence.  The water meadow beyond the river, opposite my home, is covered in new springs, streams and mini-lakes, and the Wye itself is in spate.  Yesterday all the great oaks were covered still in their leaf summer finery, but […]

Creating Space (continued)

James and Simon have been here for two days, and their work is done, for now.  Four larches and a leylandii have come down, and it was the right course of action to take.  The lime tree that was being distorted and squashed is standing proud, drinking in the light and air now available to […]

He is not mean with his money, hoarding […]

Times

There is such a sense of timelessness at the moment, but also a sense that time as we have known it is about to stop in its tracks, go backwards and meet the future - and we will be caught up in the middle of it. That really will sort the sheep from the goats, […]

What a cat can teach

As I drove to Anglesey yesterday I saw a black and white cat lying dead by the side of the country road.  Being the owner of two cats, and an animal lover, this made me sad for a moment, but I sent it a little blessing and carried on my journey.  Returning several hours later, […]

Living in the now

There was a report today about a lady who, following a brain haemorrhage, found her memory constantly lapsed after about ten minutes.  So, if she was in a restaurant, she had no idea of where she was, what city or country she was in or how she came to be there.  Not unnaturally, this caused […]
