feelings from a traveller along life's pathways

I've travelled; I've lived here and there; always searching for something. And yet perhaps the one discovery of recent years has been the realisation that I have a strong clear voice inside. I listen so much to so many voices, some my own - despairing, angry, frustrated, scared. And I want to achieve so much! But what I'd really like is to reach out to you, call you to listen to your voice. And then who knows what might happen in this crazy world of ours. And I'd like to live on in your thoughts. Share what we have and who we are; what else can we do? We all have such strength and beauty and love - we just have to find the courage to show it - and to share it. Because that's where hope comes from. That's how I can face the future.

things keep on changing

Yes, I know it's been said before.

I'm working with an organisation that's going through massive change; people are feeling battered and bruised and not valued at all. And this is in an organisation that claims to be making things better for people. What hope do we have away from the caring professions?

Bankers are proving their worth (about 50p, devalued as the pound sinks against all known currencies). Investment seems even more of a mug's game. And savings are getting a pittance in interest.

Even the fantasy world I've used as a sideshow is going through change as its owners realise they didn't get the offerings right. Yes, it's a game - a virtual environment, but reality intervenes everywhere. After getting used to being creative on a bigger scale, I find myself having to do it on the head of a needle again.

What fun.
