About

ME !  

I am a child of the Universe, born a twin six minutes after my sister.  My parents had no idea I was in there until AFTER my sister was born. This was once upon a time in the 1950’s when scans were not common place.  Sounds ancient does it not?  But although I have just past 60, I feel like my  journey is just beginning. Perhaps it is because I have looked up and around and realised I have not consciously made use of this thing called Life, nor given back to the world what I should.  And so there is an anxiousness to do something quick, to be able to say my life has been meaningful, before the sands of time run out.

MY BLOG 

I love to write, put my thoughts down, for “how can I know what I think unless I see what I say”. (Forster)

So I write, essentially about my ‘Encounters‘ with myself, with others, and with my Lord.  The distinctions are not always clear.  More and more I find that they are all inter-twined.  When I encounter others, I am in some way encountering myself, and when I encounter myself, I encounter my Lord.

A favorite quotations captures this best:  “Oh unchanging God, help me know myself, that I might know you.”  St Augustine.

And so I started this ‘blog‘  – an open book into which I want to scribble my mind’s story.  If you turn the pages, I hope you enjoy it, for it is all I can share on cyber space – which  Chardin called “the noo-sphere”.

You can find out a bit more about me in a post I wrote when I subscribed to WordPress 101 writing challenge – Who do I say I am?  😀

Ramblin’ Rose – a sweet memory. 

I am sure my Dad had no idea how I would turn out when he sang the lullaby to me, in a voice almost as glorious as Nat King Cole:   Ramblin’ rose, ramblin’ rose  …..Why you ramble, no one knows   …..

I can’t promise that anyone is going to love me or my ramblings but just as the Rose goes where the sun draws it … so too must I go … wherever The Son draws me. 

AN INVITATION  

I would like to hear from you and hope you will share your insights and discoveries as we travel to our final destination, ‘whatever you conceive it to be‘ .

I look forward to making the world a smaller place 🙂 for we are all Angels with one wing helping each other to fly.

Meanwhile, here is the glorious lullaby my Father sang to me.  ENJOY
