Welcome

Welcome to my website.  This is where I can share my writing and get feedback.  I will add new pieces regularly so I hope you will visit often, and will contribute comments.

I like writing about the inner story of things, a theology or philosophy of the everyday.  It is a process of befriending the questions or the thoughts that surprise you and discovering where they might lead, exploring the inside skin you can sometimes glimpse that holds worlds together.

Some of my ideas I have gleaned from other writers.  Hopefully there is something in my writing that you can take and run with in your own way.

I can immerse myself in the bowl of summer, feel its edges around me and sink down, down into its unfettered abandon.  The sun is loose and free, it soaks through the air, through the ground, through my skin like caramel.  The clouds are friends scattering the sky with white or bringing the rain we need to maintain the green and to open up the earth.   read more »

Inner Wellies

Wellies

Each morning
I’m going to put on
my inner wellies
so I can splosh and slop
through all the floods and mud
life sends me
instead of tiptoeing round the edge
or getting stuck in the muck.
