It is with sorrow that I write of the passing of Sue Vincent. I often say that blogging has changed my life, and that is absolutely true – what started as a little place to write about writing and whatever was on my mind became so much more, the friendships I’ve made here ones thatContinue reading “A Wild Spirit”

I See You
I see you my friend In the green grass and the soft heather bloom In the ancient stones and wild peaks In the tumbling stream and the dark woods I see you In the scattered light upon the path In the crouching hare in the long grass In the turning wing of the hunting kiteContinue reading “I See You”
The Year That Was
As the year winds to a close, it’s customary to look back at all we’ve achieved in the past 365 days. In a normal year, I suppose, that would be the case. However, as we all know, this has been anything but a normal year. And so, while I’ve certainly achieved a few *things* thisContinue reading “The Year That Was”
In Memoriam 9/11 – Ground Zero Memorial, New York City
It’s not Wednesday, I know, and this was originally posted as a Wednesday Wander. Yet it seemed fitting to share today, 19 years after that terrible moment when the world changed… We had to go there. It didn’t seem right to be in New York and not visit the site of an event which hasContinue reading “In Memoriam 9/11 – Ground Zero Memorial, New York City”
Facing Fear With The Silent Eye, Part 3 – Sorrow
I recently attended a workshop, with The Silent Eye, about Facing Our Fears, an extraordinary weekend spent among the hills and grey stone villages of the Peak District. It’s taken me a little while, as it usually does, to process everything that happened. Once again there was history and mystery, good company and tasty food,Continue reading “Facing Fear With The Silent Eye, Part 3 – Sorrow”

Around The World and Back Again
Getting back into this blogging thing is easier said than done, I’m finding. And it probably hasn’t helped that I’ve been away for the past three weeks on the other side of the world. Apologies for being late getting back to comments, too! So, where have I been? Back to my husband’s native Australia, toContinue reading “Around The World and Back Again”
Wednesday Wander – Ground Zero
We had to go there. It didn’t seem right to be in New York and not visit the site of an event which has shaped the modern city, and much of the world, since it happened. And so this week my Wednesday Wander is to Ground Zero, the site of the World Trade Centre attacksContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Ground Zero”
Highgate Cemetery, London – A Few More Photos
My Wednesday Wander this week was a very popular one, something about the wonderful funerary architecture and creeping ivy at Highgate Cemetery striking a chord with many of you. So, as I wasn’t able to share all my photos in the post, I thought I’d post a few more for those who might be interested.Continue reading “Highgate Cemetery, London – A Few More Photos”
Look For The Helpers
I’ve tried to write this post several times today. Oh, not because I had no words. I had lots of them. Words of sorrow and fury and fear. Words of love and hope and pride. But none of them seemed big enough or strong enough or wise enough to encompass the despair I felt onContinue reading “Look For The Helpers”
