You know what it’s like to hit the depths. I remember coming across a song about being lifted up. The writer talks of a state where shame and guilt was completely overwhelming. That was compounded by being in a society where you’re an outcast if there’s any sign of failure. Under such pressures, the darkness […]
Read More From Shades Of NightGerry and Iain are two of my favourite people on the planet. I have never met them in person. I don’t think they really know of me other than few an occasional retweet of their stuff. I don’t think I really knew them this time last year. In that space of time, however, they have […]
Read More Columbo and Something Worth Listening ToHis story really fascinated me. The same place that he was convinced he would never go near, was the very place he was sent. The journey to get there was fascinating too. When people had talked about visiting people in prisons, he had said that it was definitely not his thing. Although he was hugely […]
Read More Into The Darkness You ShineThis was not how it was meant to work out. Intelligent, witty and evidently competent in the field, he was meant to get the degree and apply that know-how to begin on the ladder. Surely the light should have lead him to progress through the ranks accumulating a good reputation and a bigger bank balance. […]
Read More Where The Light May Lead“Ignorance is bliss.” I hear someone say it and I knew where they were coming from. You see some things developing and you know if a certain someone knew about it there would be a lot of grief. It’s best if the person doesn’t know, so nothing is mentioned and ignorance is bliss. Similarly, when […]
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. Something about something being something that something would need […]
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 LightHave you been checking the time? When we were being taught how to tell the time way back at school we had the analogue clock and the digital clock. That digital clock was a twelve-hour clock. It was a little later on that I got into the twenty-four hour clock. I gotta say, I like […]
Read More A Quarter To – A Dryden UpdateWhen you get into a rhythm through the conditioning of an activity over an extended period of time, it’s hard to get off that rhythm. It’s also interesting how getting into that conditioning can change things for you as far as your appreciation and sensitivity to things are. When people talk to me about wisdom, […]
