The walk around the town, and her irritation over Alfred Jones' visits makes her seem more real, not just a line drawing of someone long ago! The Slug and Lettuce - what a fascinating name for a pub, must be some interesting history to...

Posted on Mon, 09 Nov 2015

This seems a development of one the other day you took off? But more clearly of the change with aging  now. Hard when the touch and the speech and memory decays. The title intrigued me as I've been working on one entitled 'Show and tell', but at...

Posted on Fri, 06 Nov 2015

It is so nice to have attention drawn to the detail of one little flower. You notice so much more than with a big bloom. I remember looking long at one autumn leaf with a little girl I was helping to look after, and making a poem on that, and her...

Posted on Wed, 04 Nov 2015

I like the way you've captured this bit of escapism, Cassie!  'no cause to hide, I can be who I am'
It does seem a pity when people feel they can't be themselves in the real world, though others use the term 'I'm just being myself...

I like what you have written

Posted on Tue, 03 Nov 2015

I like what you have written about the false glitz and warmth at Christmas, the wearying distractions to true delight and happiness, satisfying service, and worship.

The early part also made me think of 'when the time had fully come, God...

Posted on Tue, 27 Oct 2015

This did make me think, Tina, of so many who feel the loss of a daughter or son of whom they never had good memories, a loss double. Memories so sweet must hurt so much, but you wouldn't have not had them, I'm sure.

I did so like the last...

This is very effective. The early part and the contrast.

If it is how you are feeling now, I would say, Seek out that music of heart again! Personally, of course,  I would pray, and read God's love letter (the Bible) to me when feeling...
