Catching Up On Some Things

It is the world some live in. There is an incessant machine churning. It’s the machine of life that tells you to get up, get changed, get everyone sorted, get to work, get the job done, get home, get everyone sorted, get to bed, get some sleep to get up and start the whole thing […]

What Is It About The Wrestle?

There are a variety of story-lines. All the stories involve a degree of animosity between two parties. The reasons for the animosity can vary. It could be friendly rivalry to establish the better party. It could be hostility over offences inflicted. Those can make for compelling stories in themselves and reason to see how the […]

Broken on Purpose

Broken. The pot was broken into little pieces. No one had an idea what to do, but it was clear that it could never be put back together again. It was broken too decisively. No craftsman or expert potter would be able to put that together again. Perhaps it would be better to just dispose […]

Make A Note Of It

We sat down and talked about it. Twenty years is a long time. A long time where a lot happens. A lot happening some of which is worth remembering. Worth remembering because of what it says about the journey you’ve made to this point. A point where those things can be of use to remind […]

The episodes in the text really reflect the human condition. So there’s one about the twins. The first one came out red in look and turned out to be a  hunter. The second one that came out tended to grasp at things, like the heel of his brother, and turned out to prefer shepherding. They’re […]

Who We Are and What We Do

If I follow certain narratives of history, I could get the impression that it was easier back in the day. Who is he? He catches fish. Oh so he’s a fisherman. Yeah. And that’s how it will be for the rest of his life. He’ll be rough and coarse and used to the struggle because […]

What You’re Entertaining

They say it’s harmless. They say there’s nothing to it. It’s just a bit of fun they say. That works for them. Apparently ignorance is bliss, so what they don’t know won’t hurt them. Meanwhile that which they entertain makes subtle incisions into the mindset. Perhaps some things that were clearly unacceptable appear to be […]

Unfailing Love

You lied, despite all that was promised. You should have known better, but you completely denied all that and blatantly lied. That should have left you out of it. Yet you were still remembered and the promise was fulfilled. It could only be Unfailing Love. You tricked and schemed in a bid to let things […]

A Problem with Control and Freedom

From childhood, Jon was considered to be someone who would go far. He was an intelligent young man at school, which was remarkable because his parents didn’t appear to be anything like him when it came to intellect. They were hard-working people, though and endeavoured to see their son adopt that key value. This explains […]

Developing an Appetite

Desensitised. Eat enough of one kind of thing and before long you become desensitised. Sure it’s bad for you, but you’ve got in the habit now and it’s not affecting you too much. Not too much. Not much anymore. It’s been part of the diet for so long that to do without it would be […]
