Painted sky at the ending of the day. The conjunction of different elements that brings a kind of ‘raw wisdom’ that is inbuilt into the heart of everything. I miss this wisdon because I’m tuned into something else, most of the time. Deeply annoying, but there it is! However, I have been prompted to thinkContinue reading “I am the light of the world…”

‘See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name….’ Revelation 3; 8 A well known saying of the resurrected Jesus which I’ve used before.

In these moments we are experiencing and the uncertainty about many things a simple reflection on the solidity of the mountains is all I think I can offer.
