People are walking. Walking the streets. Hustling and bustling. Going to and fro. You don’t have the chance to catch the looks on their faces. You don’t have the time to consider what’s behind the gestures. It looks like they’re all very busy with the issues of life. They are certainly busy alright. But how […]
Read More Within Reach: Time to ActivateTalk shops. They do not have good reputations. For good reason. Lots of air and little substance. Much complaining which does not lead to productive change. Presentations made, glittering promises offered, whimsical memories and stimulating aspirations shared … all to be minuted and referred to another meeting. Yet talk shops remain in fashion. You’re entitled […]
Read More Within Reach: Engage with PurposeOften when you realise something there’s an urge to do something about it. Quite right too. Is it always wise, however, to just do something – do anything? Maybe at times there is something that can help you to know what to do. A process of engagement. From realising something there can begin interaction for […]
Read More Within Reach: Now Engage …You were watching a programme and then you realised. You were having a conversation and then you realised. You came across a presentation and then you realised. The method of realisation varies – that you realise matters. Once you realise, there is also the element of wondering if what you have come across is just […]
Read More Within Reach: Why Share The Realisation?Realisation. What a wonderful word. It’s scary as well. But there’s more about being full of wonder than the scary thing. It’s scary though.

Read More Within Reach: When You Realise …Much of what is seen came from someone who saw it before anyone else did. They saw it because of the vision they were given. Not just the vision, but the perseverance to realise what they saw, even when others did not see it. That perseverance was key because others not only could not see […]
Read More Dryden Shorts: Who Sees ItModels. Structures. Rhythms. Routines. It’s not always obvious, but people like these. They find some sense of existence in a pattern. You establish a routine for how you eat. You get a rhythm for when you eat. You develop a structure for what you do when it’s time to eat. You set up a model […]
Read More Within Reach: It Is Not Beyond UsWhen they saw me, their view mattered so much. I used to feel hurt when they saw me as odd, weird and funny in the not ha-ha sense of it. I wanted to have an exterior that wasn’t bothered about what they thought, but what was going on inside was that the more they laughed […]
Read More His View MattersIs that what I was looking for? There are episodes in scripture that make me chuckle, even though they are not primarily written for comedic purposes. Case in point this bit, And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask […]
Read More Were You Looking For This?Something that helps in times of trouble, is to know why you’re going through. You’re not going through to survive. What is survival anyway? There are greater things at stake than survival. You’re not going through to just learn some lessons and whatever doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger, useful though that may be. […]
