Good news, I’ve got back into chess. My relationship with chess goes in peaks and troughs. There are times of avid interest and regular play and longer periods of inactivity. It’s no big deal because chess is not my life, but it is a good game to play on occasion. One of the reasons I […]
Read More Checking The SceneIt never fails to fascinate me. Two people are in the same situation but respond to it in such contrasting ways that it makes you wonder if they really are in the same situation.

Read More In The Light Of The CircumstancesRecently I was reminded of the joy of tens. With the theme of this month, it made sense to celebrate the occasion by considering some benefits (around ten) of the Light. The Light is Bright – I love things that are brilliant and the Light is literally that in more than one sense of the […]
Read More One Or Two (Or Ten) Benefits of The LightYou know what it’s like to hit the depths. I remember coming across a song about being lifted up.

Read More Ignorance: No Light MatterThis speaker could really have done with something to brighten things up. The time seemed to drag. He kept on talking and talking, which wouldn’t have been so bad, but the tone of his voice wasn’t that engaging and the content he delivered was truly boring.

Read More That Should Brighten Things UpFocus on the light. It makes for a great guide and a great guide is needed for the journey ahead. One of the pictures that comes to me about life is a lot like the imagery of a dense forest. The trees are tall and full of branches that at times can appear to obscure […]
Read More Comfort and Direction with The LightWhen they were leaving they could have taken a particular route to get to their destination. In fact it would have been quicker to take that route. Yet there was a better route to take that would prevent them from returning to where they were leaving. To get the route and keep on moving there […]
Read More For The Journey – Focus On The LightWhat would help, is if you calmed down, take a few deep breaths and stop.
