“… our help in ages past …"

Ideas willowy and vague about the supernatural … One who’s real, historical … many find His aid in need: … Why won’t he pull the strings to fully stop these awful things? …

Holidays

With thought of the Fry’s chocolate five boys … and memories of an eccentric old lady and her enjoyment of unpractical plans and dreams

on Isaiah 43:1,2

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series] The trials may heap on us – when will they cease? Their strength can quite suddenly roar and increase. The...

Posted on Tue, 26 May 2015

Thank you so much again, Stephen for that thoughtful appreciation, and I am so glad you enjoy these verses. It is difficult to analyse one's own writing. I certainly try to keep a rhythm and make quite a bit of use of rhyme and consonant and part...

So enjoyed catching up with this one, Tina. So many little details brought in lightly. Liked the bonfires' end and the starlings. Rhiannon

Posted on Thu, 14 May 2015

Brings to mind scenes from the era of my childhood somehow.
On second time round reading this, I think the 'goodbye to brief lives and all that might have been.' and the ceasing to be, brings to my mind a pratical approach...

I've been wanting to get out

Posted on Wed, 06 May 2015

I've been wanting to get out into the countryside at night, and forgetting, or the difficulties of our caring for the elderly. My daughter spent a year high in the Alps and spoke wonderingly about the clarity of the 'jewels in the sky'. A few...
