The Unseen Sea – 10: Mind and the Enneagram

The Silent Eye Part Ten of The Unseen Sea If you have been following this series of posts, you may have detected a liberal use of the name LUCA. The Last Universal Common Ancestor was a term coined by evolutionary biology to refer to the first cellular life which can be traced back to be the common originator of all current life on Earth. … Read More The Unseen Sea – 10: Mind and the Enneagram

#Silenti – The Ancient Now

You may have noticed I’ve been a bit quiet of late. I’m spending a lot of time ‘in the now’. I’m in the final stages of writing the Silent Eye’s three year home-study course on the Magical Enneagram, and the subject of ‘now’ is crucial to the last four lessons. Some subjects are just so profound that they have the capacity to change your life, … Read More #Silenti – The Ancient Now

Circles Beyond Time – worlds without borders

Sue concludes her journal of the Circles out of time weekend… The Silent Eye We left Arbor Low and headed back to the village of Monyash and the pub for lunch. Once again, we seemed to have seen and done far more than should be possible in such a short time, slipping across the borders of time and space as if it were perfectly … Read More Circles Beyond Time – worlds without borders

Circles Beyond Time – The serpent stones

The Silent Eye We followed the earthen avenue from Gib Hill to the banks of Arbor Low. You do not really get a clear impression of where you are here; the roads climb steadily as they cross the undulating landscape and, by the time you reach the henge, you are already over twelve hundred feet above sea level. The countryside around you seems relatively … Read More Circles Beyond Time – The serpent stones

The Unseen Sea – 9: The Image of Fear

The Silent Eye Part Nine of The Unseen Sea “She’s being picked on at school,” says Maria. Grandad Lucca gazes back to the thick rug in the corner of the tiny living room in the cottage, on which Jessica has been lying, painting her picture. His grandaughter catches sight of him looking at her work and twists her body to hide the painting. But Grandad’s still-keen … Read More The Unseen Sea – 9: The Image of Fear

Circles Beyond Time – Inner circle

The Silent Eye We walked through the cairns, seeing their contours in the rise and fall of the heather, knowing many more were now hidden by the late summer bracken. We were heading for the prosaically named Barbrook II. We know it better by another name, but that is a different story. “…We reach the house-place. My eyes see only the encircling wall of … Read More Circles Beyond Time – Inner circle

Circles Beyond Time – Convoy

The Silent Eye We left Higger Tor after the sunrise and headed back to our respective breakfasts. Most would have to pack their bags too, before gathering for a final journey together. We were the lucky ones with time to spare and a drive back across the moors into the edges of the city. The early morning light was beautiful, though the first hint … Read More Circles Beyond Time – Convoy

How to make a living as a writer #amwriting

Originally posted on Sue Vincent's Daily Echo:
I was speaking to a friend this morning, a woman whose writing often glows with lyric beauty, yet who has stopped writing because she could not sell her manuscript and will not self-publish. As a writer, and much as I would like to, I don’t make a living from my work. Like most authors, and especially…
