What if,As the old lady knows,“All that glitters is gold”And she really is“Buying a stairway to heaven”? Now what if The stairway goes not up?Which down the ages was taught,Instead it goes downAnd heaven’s a decent?All the wishful thoughts of the yearsAre no more than just thatAnd wise people are deceived For heaven is not … Continue reading As The Old Lady Knows

Monday Musing
Dear Jon, I wrote my first letter to you last week and the whole experience of writing it was good. I felt challenged as I did so and moved to seek answers to the questions your life raises for me. Today I have a single question. “What caused you to seek perfection when all those … Continue reading Monday Musing
I Touched Perfection
From the west the wind did blowSo my kite I determined to fly,And the sun condescended to smileOffering to make the day perfectWhilst I stood with line in handAllowing myself to be captivatedBy the gyrating dance in the sky aboveTo be transported from the worldTo a place between earth and heaven,Is this purgatory?Is this paradise?This … Continue reading I Touched Perfection
The perfect blossom is a rare thing.
Dear Pogue, Have you ever thought that certain artist get to present their art over and over, such as a musician? They write a great song and people call out to hear it played at concerts. The artist enjoys the achievement again and again, as they should. But other artist don’t get to share that … Continue reading The perfect blossom is a rare thing.
Only The Good Die Young
Someone has said “Only the good die young” and whilst I’m sure that death is no more partial to the good than it is to the not so good there have been moments when I have found myself wondering why a life has been cut short or finished in it’s prime. I found myself in … Continue reading Only The Good Die Young
Time, the first time around
Dearest Pogue, I have been reading, which will be no surprise to you , a book by Carlo Rovelli, a series of essays on differing subjects, the main one being science. After all, he is a theoretical physicist . So I am more knowledgeable about Black Holes and Gravitational Waves. But he is an interesting … Continue reading Time, the first time around
Monday Musings
So Pogue, My first post of the year, aside from my Musings of course, declared that we live in a world full of potential. It's all about us. Heaven is breaking in whenever the chance presents itself. Yet so many live such poor lives. Not necessarily monetarily poor, but obviously that exists. Rather with no … Continue reading Monday Musings
Songs to Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.
Pogue, Today I have been listening to a song by Sting who I’ve seen twice in the past few years. This song is for me a metaphor for life. It talks of two foxes who struggle through the adversities of life to reach the Great Ocean, which for me is enlightenment or heaven. You choose. … Continue reading Songs to Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.
Songs to Pogue…what I’m listening to now.
Pogue, Here’s one for the lovers. I have always been a fan of Cat Stevens which is music from way back, I know. But the guy always seem to be seeking something and saw the world in a different way from so many of his contemporaries. Then he seemed to find what he was looking … Continue reading Songs to Pogue…what I’m listening to now.
Law 3. Correspondence.
Morning Pogue, What a way to start the day with a letter from me! How are you? Ok, put this one away for a few minutes. It will make sense. Promise. “As above, so below”. Got it? OK. So in the book of Ecclesiastes the writer makes comment that “there is nothing new under the … Continue reading Law 3. Correspondence.
Surrender
Dear Pogue, I have not written for a few days as I have been allowing my curiosity free rein this week, and who could blame me? Here in lockdown I need to find some room for exploration. My curiosity has moved out from the last two posts I wrote and was seen to have a … Continue reading Surrender
Go to Hell
Dear Pogue, Someone once said question everything, and with my ability to see most all possibilities - my blessing and my curse - I do that more often than not. So, when I was told about Hell, its existence, its intention and its imminent threat to me, I was troubled. I went along with the … Continue reading Go to Hell
It might be the wrong question
Dear Pogue, With this letter let me start by posing a question. How bothered by sin is God? Is it really such a massive deal? Was that two questions? Never mind. Let’s think this through. There were no laws in the beginning that we know about. Oh, there was one about an apple. I … Continue reading It might be the wrong question
