The Chinese Year of the Dragon

Although the Chinese New Year began a couple of days ago, neatly coinciding with the new moon and with my knowledge, it was only yesterday that I began to reflect properly on what it might mean. The year of the dragon……how perfect for 2012, the date which symbolises change and a new era affecting us […]

Fossil Fuels and Man's great Choice

Just below the Earth's skin lies masses of layers of fossil fuels, under the sea bed as well as on land, and new technology makes it cheap and easy to extract. It is perhaps the most important dilemma faced by humanity now - what to do with it. World leaders, energy companies and consumer organisations […]

Dependency Culture versus Helping Yourself

The "dependency culture" is under fire and also under question as the UK Government's Bill on welfare reform and benefits caps faces increasingly strong opposition from those who claim large families may be made homeless. The arguments are becoming polarised between claims to do with inter-generational reliance on free state support for everything and the […]

The Heart of How to be Spiritual

Self-acceptance and self-expression are at the heart of being spiritual, and they are the key to the purpose of being human; the current PIP implant issues highlight this. The controversy over breast implants and, today, other "beauty enhancers" such as wrinkle fillers has demonstrated how many thousands of women have felt the need to change […]

Moving Stars

I have a number of friends who live just to the west of me on the other side of the Cambrian Mountains in this special place of Wales. One of them, unexpectedly, called me last night to say she was witnessing a procession of moving stars. Together, she at her back door and me sitting […]

Stephen Lawrence's Lasting Legacy

For some twenty years the words "Stephen Lawrence" have evoked, inevitably, a reaction in the listener, maybe shame, maybe sorrow, maybe regret, maybe anger. The legacy of a teenager who died while waiting for a bus in London so long ago is the reminder to each of us who is old enough to know, about […]

Two Moons, Two Suns……

It is surprising that researchers are surprised at the possibility that Earth may have had two moons. How would they feel about the idea that we have two suns, I wonder? Mars is the only planet known, now, to have two moons, while Jupiter has sixty four and Mercury and Venus are believed to have […]
