March 22, 2017

The children had gathered in a semicircle around Gramp’s rocking chair. The fire was burning and crackling, playing shadow puppets on the wall of the humble little cabin by the lake.

The state of our State

March 20, 2017

The state of our State is distressing. I prefer not to air political stuff on my blog if I can help it. Today is an exception. It’s getting ridiculous, downright embarrassing and – there are many genuine concerns about the state of our State. Not to mention the ability of our illustrious leaders to … More The state of our State

Soul Gifting – what is it?

March 15, 2017

Yay – I have 1000 followers! Unreal. I never thought I’d get to such a milestone. Needless to say, I am touched, humbled, honoured, flabbergasted. I’m running out of superlatives here but I’m sure you get my drift. It feels a bit trite to just say ‘Hey, thanks a bunch!‘ Of course I do … More Soul Gifting – what is it?

It was never, ever lit. The comfort of the ritual, the smell of the baccy, and the feel of it … More Methusela’s Musings – I Dreamed A Dream
