There’s a poem on the breezeThat’s reaching out to youReaching out to meAnd it’s telling us a taleOf a time yet to comeWhen we’ll lose our every judgementSee the world with new eyesWe’ll understand each other’s storyA history we need to hearSo we’ll start from understandingAnd possess a driving need to knowReflecting what we’d have … Continue reading Poem

Pogue, It’s raining. Again. And I noticed this morning that the News Papers are asking: “Where is summer?” And “Is summer over?” It’s only the first week of August, August the months when the majority of people in this country go on holiday. Then for those who have holidayed abroad, southern Europe, there are unprecedented … Continue reading Monday Musing

I Can’t Be Trusted.

Pogue, Please don’t tell me your secrets or if you do, then when you put them back in the drawer don’t lock it anymore. I am just no good with secrets. I can’t keep secrets. It’s not that I find delight in telling others and making those hidden things public. Not at all. Not one … Continue reading I Can’t Be Trusted.

Now I don't mean a person who is able to move with elegance although that is always pleasing to … Continue reading Monday Musings

Pogue, Listen. Life has taught me that there is always another side to any story I come across in my day to day. So, I’m thinking, be slow to judgement. Why a person has acted the way they did, said that thing, it’s all preceded by their own personal experience, by their upbringing, by the … Continue reading Monday Musings

Maybe things just “are”.

Dear Pogue, Tell me, who decides what is right and what is wrong? Indeed, where is the divide between so-called good and bad? If I was to draw a line and place a mark right in the middle, what would you place either side of the line? Well lies, lies are bad. I had a … Continue reading Maybe things just “are”.
