      What We Do Is Sacred

      Jun 11, 2018

      I’ve had an epiphany – I think that the ritual and intimacy of trail running has been diluted by social media, which on one hand is rich as I am an avid user of social media in my personal life and, as a professional, I rely on social media to public

      Oct 15, 2020

      WHEN I wake up I’ve begun to heave out of bed and groan in a way a horse does as it rolls. Sort of loud and unattractively guttural. When I sit on the sofa, I expel air like a burst beachball. Pfffffffft. My knees are rogered and if I go for a run I

      The Language of Life in Seconds - Jennifer D. Maree

      Exercises at writing groups

      Your Sacred Place

      You may think it’s in the flowers

      Or even a shed

      You may think it’s where the dog cowers

      Or lying in bed

      You’re mistaken if you think it is t’ai chi

      Or Pilates

      It’s not anything beachy

      Or mixing with the arties

      It’s in the mind

      A mantra and any location

      It’s quietness of a different kind

      It’s meditation

      Christmas Invitation

      Your presence please

      No presents

      The invitation

      Tim indifferent

      Busy

      Fixing something as usual

      Preoccupied with the tangible

      The controllable

      The mechanical

      Me thinking of the spirit of Christmas

      Gone

      I love wrapping
