The Path to Everything

The path from my home to the world beyond winds through billowing hedgerows and ancient oak trees, past wild-bee tree hives and sleepy bat roosts until it joins a long yew hedge leading down to the lane and the great River Wye below.  Civilisation is not so far away, but it feels far distant and… Continue reading The Path to Everything

The Supportive Hand of God

It is sobering to consider how far the movement of cosmic energy corresponds with what happens in our human world.  I wonder sometimes if our lives are a shadowy, illusory reflection of the immense complexity of divine design or, more prosaically, a physical reality influenced by the position of celestial bodies.  The truth may be… Continue reading The Supportive Hand of God

The Vernal Equinox

The Time of Revelation

The autumn fogs hang heavy over the bare limbs of the trees that surround my home, shrouding the mountains and also the water meadows that stretch beyond the great River Wye in front of my windows, the reminder of the time when most of Wales – far further south then than it is today -… Continue reading The Time of Revelation

COP27: Why Fight with God?

Above the drumbeat of heavy news and dire predictions, nature serenely fulfils her promise of seasonal change and evolution as she has done for all time; whatever the time of year she brings beauty and colour and light, encouraging us to rise above the man-made fear and negative anticipation which holds us down and darkens… Continue reading COP27: Why Fight with God?

The Change of Light and Time

In many parts of the world at this time of year, clocks are changing to reflect the changing season and the changing light.  To attend to the different clocks and watches, radios and timers in my home manually is one of many rituals that have become established in the rhythm of my life, and it… Continue reading The Change of Light and Time
