  • The teaching myth.

    I worked as a teacher for more than forty years. I loved my work. I had a good career with hard won opportunity. Our family was financially secure thanks to my salary and each of our children received opportunities to grow academically, emotionally and spiritually. Each of them is an adult making positive contributions to […]

  • THINKING ABOUT MY CHILDREN

    In an attempt to distract myself from the Prime Minister, I have been doing some personal historical reflection. I found 30 or more of my journals in a recent clean up and sorting out of bookshelves. One in particular, my first, I had been searching for since attending the ceremony at the Garden of Innocents […]

  • “On the Ninth Day of Christmas” 2020

    I am beginning this without being able to come up with a suitable title! On December 20th I wrote about the fire north of my home. My fears for my daughter and her family. The awfulness/awefilled-ness of my world which had turned orange and air that was acrid with the smell of burning bush! My […]

  • Wonder and awe take over from exhaustion no

    Everything is oppressive at the moment! The agony and horror of the fires and the extraordinary heat. The frustration of watching our country’s leader remind us that “that’s what Dad’s do” as explanation for not returning to the country after the tragedy in New Zealand and the destruction and carnage of the bushfires. Its hot. […]

  • My World in Orange!

    My best friend suffers from and lives with CRPS , Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.  An energetic, intelligent, force of nature herself, she is frequently and for extended periods of time, forced to a screaming halt by pain that comes from nowhere, inexplicable and incapacitating. At its height she cannot stand being touched where ever the […]

  • WALKING OUT AFTER 48 YEARS!

    It had been a pretty big couple of weeks. 12 days of anticipation, one day of travel leading to, I thought one day of Sabbath! Pacing myself was going to be the answer. These couple of weeks had been preceded by a couple of months of uncertainty, anxiety, health scares for Triple L – heart […]

  • Twice More I met this woman!

    She came back! Poked her head around the door, impish grin through her smiling eyes behind her glasses. ” Hello!” Not radiating confidence but a definite improvement! Elegant long, black skirt. Hair with a bit of a lustre…shampoo. Still an intricately woven plait. “Can you help me with my bills?” Details aside, I said I […]

  • Yesterday I met a woman

    Yesterday I met a woman who had no food. She had no food because all her money is spent on food for her animals. Her hands shook, constantly, her eyes darted about as if waiting for something terrible to happen. Like a frightened child, quivering and shivering in a corner in the dark. We talked, […]
