The Silent Sparrow
The house sparrows felt at home in the noise and din of another day Chirping, chirruping, chattering, tweeting all they had to say Banter was their birth-right, they made their presence known Quarrel by name and nature, seeds of gossip daily sewn But one young sparrow merely listened, to the chatter of all the rest … Continue reading The Silent Sparrow
Be With What Is.
My brother and his lovely family visited us last weekend and I booked us a trip to some Christmas illuminations (pretty lights in pretty trees in the grounds of a pretty castle, I'm a sucker for sparkle and beautiful surroundings so it was a winner for me). I imagined our families getting into the Christmas … Continue reading Be With What Is.

Last week I sat in my office (on my bed), trying to tune out the noise of … Continue reading Pay Attention to the Universe: Part Two
Pay attention to the Universe
There’s been a lot of ‘meh’ in my energy the past couple of days.

I’ve spent the … Continue reading Pay attention to the Universe
