Luke 12:22 - Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[a]? 26Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
Love Thy Neighbour
With Christmas over I'm thinking of the people i should have contacted, but have not over the festive period. Guiltily, those few are probably most in need of a friendly phone call; and I've purposely not called as i know the conversation will be stilted and leaning towards them venting their unlucky lot in life. … Continue reading Love Thy Neighbour

It was a beautiful … Continue reading Roald Dahl

And … Continue reading Why Can’t I Pray?
A Little Stressed? Are You KIDDING Me?!
I had a dream last night about the poetry events i'm working on for Michael Horovitz and Alexander De Cadenet. In it, i was was making calls, and sending email after email to journalists with a growing sense of apprehension. Weird dreams..the spot that's erupted on my cheek this morning...i must be stressed! And this … Continue reading A Little Stressed? Are You KIDDING Me?!
Little Old Ladies
I briefly volunteered work at an old people’s home when I was about 16 years old. I remember the musty smell of the place: the ancient looking lady who always came to ask me if I had seen her daughter, and the harassed looking staff in crumpled blue uniforms.
Appropriate behaviour
I suddenly felt stripped. What had he been thinking all this time? Worse still; what did he think I had been thinking? He’s single, and is obviously up for dating – maybe he thought we were on a DATE!!
It’s busy in London
The pubs and clubs will start to hum with the sound of drinkers and drunks.
