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

Dear Pogue, That darned seagull will not leave my mind! Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Richard Bach’s masterful creation has come home to roost. And after several letters concerning Bach’s book, I told you I had finished, my examination of his life and the things I had learnt whilst reading. Now he keeps popping into my imagination … Continue reading Monday Musing

New week Pogue, New week, new beginning? Have you ever treated a new week as a new beginning? I’m sure you have, maybe coupled with the thought that “this new week is going to be better than the week just gone”. You’ve set a goal. We all do it most notably at the commencement of … Continue reading Monday Musing

Pogue, Good Morning. Has it stopped raining where you are? So this will be my last letter to Jonathan Livingston Seagull, for now, and to write it I have read Part 4 of the novel, a section that was not added by the author, Richard Bach, until 2014. By this point in the story Jon … Continue reading Monday Musing
Letters To Pogue
Pogue, My letters to Jonathon continue. But first, a familiar text: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil … Continue reading Letters To Pogue

Pogue, I continue my reflections on the character of Jonathon Livingstone Seagull by way of another letter. I hope you enjoy my indulgence. Dear Jonathon, Last week I suggested that there are only a small number who are wired to seek after perfection. You are one such person, (if I can refer to a gull … Continue reading 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

Morning Pogue, It’s Monday. Last week we started thinking about Jonathon Livingstone Seagull and I said I thought I would write to him because he intrigues me and I see he has so much to teach me. So here’s the first letter to Jon. Dear Jon, I am taking time off from my normal correspondence … Continue reading Monday Musing
Letters to Pogue
Dear Pogue, The first letter I’ve written to you this year so, “Happy New Year”.What will we make of the days ahead and where will we be 12 months from now? My wish for you is that, looking back in 12 months time, you will feel you have banked 12 months well spent. Not a … Continue reading Letters to Pogue
It Would Be Enough
Two kites, Red kites,PirouetteMagnificent and masterful,Outside my windowAnd if,Laying on this bed,I could see no more,This would be enough.Enough to rekindle the knowledge,The knowledge of magic,The assuringThat beauty still existsThat something lingersBetween God and manAnd we are not aloneA statement of possibilitiesOf intentOf a higher callingAnd I smile.
Dreaming
Pogue, I am sure you’ve watched Pretty Woman. Remember, Richard Gere and Julia Roberts? Great film! And you will recall that at the beginning, and the end, there’s a guy walking down the street, loudly asking, “What’s your dream? Everybody’s gotta have a dream” and he’s right, you’ve got to have a dream. A dream … Continue reading Dreaming
Do We?
Pogue, Over time I’ve read a lot about how we can manifest the things in life that we desire. This has come at a variety of levels. The easiest to understand is the Dream Board which, for the uninitiated, is a place where we put images that remind us of and help us define our … Continue reading Do We?

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
Monday Musing
Dear Pogue, Forgive me! This started as a short thought and just kept growing! I have been noticing that amongst people there is often a need to be right. Have you ever noticed that? And being right, there is then a need to prove that they are right. I am sure there are all sorts … Continue reading Monday Musing
My Dreams Are Strong
My dreams are strongBoth day and night,In this reality I am feared,Even revered,Held in trembling respect,For I walk in placesOthers fear to go.With an elegant madness in my eyesI plunder the depthsBeyond death mysterious veil,Mordors fires,Valhalla’s glory,Nivarna’s bliss.What you prophesied as heavenWhat you call hell,Nothing is denied to the dreams I have.I tell you, you … Continue reading My Dreams Are Strong
Maybe…a moment from my craziness.
I believe music fills the universe. That the day and night are filled with rhythm but far too many are not aware and never hear it. And that is sad because if more heard and felt that which moves around us all the time, there would be less division, less strife. There would be harmony. … Continue reading Maybe…a moment from my craziness.
Monday Musing.
Pogue, I don’t know about you but there doesn’t seem to be a day go by when I don’t turn on the news to be told how much my energy bill is about to cost me🥺 Day after day after day! And I’m a smart guy (at least I think so) so I get that … Continue reading Monday Musing.
Law 1.One
Dear Pogue, I have spent much time with things spiritual and during that time I have come to recognise certain constants in the world. They are not things that people usually consider or even realise exist. I thought I’d like to share with you the things I have found over a series of short letters … Continue reading Law 1.One

Morning Pogue, Here’s a thing. Your teachers will come in all shapes and sizes. You’ll find them in books, in music, in actual teachers, in moments of inspiration… The Universe can reach out to you in so many ways and is only limited by your imagination. And you, you have to spot the teaching and … Continue reading Monday Musing
Back To The Beginning…Quote
Back To The Beginning
Pogue, I have been thinking back over the journey we’ve made since the letters started to be sent. How things have evolved, for the better. How beliefs have expanded and our understanding of God, Source, The Great Spirit have changed. So I thought it may be appropriate to reread the very first letter and continue … Continue reading Back To The Beginning
I Asked A Question
Pogue, After I posted the letter to you which you received yesterday I realised I had asked a question and left it unanswered. My bad! Actually it was two questions, but one sentence, and I’ve been thinking about both. I will offer you an answer from where I am at in my thinking but I … Continue reading I Asked A Question
The Potential
Morning Pogue, Another day, another envelope. So, we want to experience God, or Source. Not too much to ask, I’m thinking. After all, God is omnipresent and omnipotent so it strikes me that not experiencing God is more abnormal than normal. But then, as you know, I’m one on my own. We’ve been corresponding on … Continue reading The Potential
The God Frequency
Still there Pogue? Another letter to enlighten your day. Does life get any better? And this one…it’s a long one, three sheets of paper😳, so you might want to choose your moment for reading. In our last few letters we have started with the question, “Is God bothered” in relation to how we live our … Continue reading The God Frequency
Monday Musings
Well Pogue, Last Monday I asked you how you would live this year if this was the last year, ever. If on 31st December the world just stopped. What did you think? Indeed, did you think? I’ve asked some others and there seems to be a big gap in the responses. There are some who … Continue reading Monday Musings
Antidotes To Fear Of Death
Pogue, I came across this the other day while reading around. It fits so well with a recent letter I’ve written to you. Better than I initially realised. Written by Rebecca Elson, sharing a view that I’ve suggested towards death, that we are only passing on and shedding our bodies to go to better things … Continue reading Antidotes To Fear Of Death
Monday Musings
Dear Pogue, Do you ever know a time when you need to go to a place that’s safe? Not so much a place that’s physically safe but rather a place that’s emotionally safe where no one is going to ask anything of you or put anything on you. In fairness, its usually a place of … Continue reading Monday Musings
Monday Musing
Pogue, Can I start today’s musing with a quote? Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was myself. Soon I awaken, and there I was, veritably myself again. … Continue reading Monday Musing
Prayer, I still don’t understand (3)
Pogue, There’s a word, a concept, that is largely lost in todays world. In fact, you probably won’t even use the word unless you’re a lawyer. The word is covenant, a covenant being a contract, a binding pledge between two parties. As said, whilst in our day it is a term largely used by legal … Continue reading Prayer, I still don’t understand (3)
