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,… Continue reading What a cat can teach
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… Continue reading Living in the now

The new dawn.... this is how it feels, the time before the day begins, and with a difference. It is twenty four hours before my new website goes live, and I have a sense of inevitabiltiy mixed in with some uncertainty about the project. It feels right but it is ambitious, and could prove to… Continue reading The New Dawn
