Ease of access. Convenience. A way of integrating new discovery into day-to-day living. All of these are available to those who choose to engage with others via technology. Perhaps, something may be missed without the face-to-face contact... and yet, so much more is gained by allowing ourselves to engage and not be deterred by our current set of ... Continue Reading >>

Parenting Podcast: Naomi Irons and Angela Burton
Another compelling exploration in the Poetry of Predicament podcast series; dedicated to fully embracing the magnificence of our imperfection as we navigate a more life-giving parenting process for ourselves and our children.

Parenting: A Child is not a Legacy
The Great Divide: Pandemic Fallout
Inside the pandemic that continues to shape our global, day-to-day reality through its roiling, seething cauldron of overwhelming and often conflicting ‘facts’, the battle rages on to determine who’s right and who’s not. Once firmly ensconced on the platform of being correct, we can then seek to define what behaviours we should/must exhibit (and insist upon ... Continue Reading >>
A timely thought….

Ascent into Chaos
“The All is mind; the Universe is mental.” (The Kybalion; 1st Principle - The Principle of Mentalism) I am grateful for this place where I can write what is meaningful for me to express. In reading what I write, I become able to detect what had remained hidden to my own discernment. I do not write to reveal - I write to discover what remains ... Continue Reading >>
