Sail Away Sweet Sister

This is all about God, prayer, community, music, art, poetry, theology, love and all sorts of things people run into on their life journey, especially when the second half of life is looming ahead. It is inspired by Fr Richard Rohr, by the Contemplative Outreach of Fr Thomas Keating, by C.G. Jung, by C.S. Lewis, Alan Watts, St Beuno's retreat house and all the communities I have a privilege to belong to. It is dedicated to and I hope will be used by my nearest and dearest, scattered all over the planet, and who are falling upwards with me.

Prt 4!!!!

damn this technology...


It is the mission of the Word and the Spirit, from the Father, in the depths of our own being. It is a majesty communicated with us, shared with us, so that our whole being is filled with the gift of glory and responds with adoration.

This is an extraordinarily high conception of our own reality, and yet he makes it clear that we do not create it for ourselves - that we recognise it in contemplation and that it is only to be grasped in contradistinction to our understanding of the falseness of our egoistic selves as we build them up in what Rohr would no doubt label as the first half of life container. And it is in letting go of this false self that we come to understand our true reality as utterances of God.

And I promise there are no more posts. A kiss on all of your foreheads as you sleep the last wee hours of night....
