One of the things I love about reading is how important it is to stop to pay attention to it. In certain conversations I have, it’s as though the other person isn’t so much keen on stopping to pay attention as looking for the opportunity to unload their spiel. You can’t do that with reading […]
Read More Dryden Shorts: ReadingAh the issue of identity. Some view it through racial, gender, sexuality and physical/mental capacity perspectives. Some believe it’s something that can be sorted all by yourself. There is something about having the humility to realise that maybe not being certain on everything about your identity is good place to start. And also understanding that […]
Read More Place To Be Who You AreThe Bible is full of episodes of real experiences that people throughout time can relate with. Sure there are those occasioons that not everyone goes through. As yet I’ve not been needed to take stroll across a sea in a rough and stormy situation. I’ve not lived in a asmall village that was surrounded by […]
Read More A Good Companion for the CrisisThe day is long and exhausting. All I want to do at the end of it is to rest. And the end of it can be fairly late on.

There might be minor variations on it, but there’s something reassuring that you know what time you’ll wake up, how you’ll drag yourself to have a shower, then you’ll get your clothes on and might grab some breakfast, say good morning to the children waking […]
Read More That’s UnprecedentedIt’s good to be reminded of certain truths. This came about after an episode with my bank apps.
