Did you have any realisations last year?

One day last year, I found myself sitting below the late morning sun on a Greek island.  I must say, she was a very unique island. Some of her visitors told me that they’d had many a mystical experience with her.  As indeed did I this particular morning. While I was busy working away at…

Saying yes to the pleasures of life

Today I spent the afternoon at home chatting with my nephew, and to join the celebration, we invited the chocolate oat biscuits and tea pot to join us. It was after pouring two hot cups of black tea that I decided, naturally, to dip a biscuit into my mug. What I experienced, as the rain…
