Fandango’s FOWC Friday challenge asked us to make creative use of the word ‘askew’. Here’s my offering… Photo taken at Laxey on the Isle of Man, last week, and post-processed to look like an old postcard…too many ‘p’s’ in there, if you ask me, not to mention ‘post’s. Mutter, mutter. ©Stephen Tanham 2023 Stephen Tanham is a writer, mystical teacher and Director of the … Read More ‘Askew’ – Fandango’s one word challenge

—-//—- What hollow world lies hidden Within these solid forms, Inviting me with eyes and mind to follow? How would I live as leaf or twig Or fruit as berry: thorn, if scorned? A solitary round of life unknown but found. Where would I find myself if self Surrendered to this leave of flesh To be enmeshed in natural and abiding weave? Now hear … Read More What hollow world lies hidden?

It’s like a Dutch canal system in miniature. It’s usually freezing cold, and seems to go dark quicker, there, than anywhere else we visit. Welcome to the hidden gem of the shore at Bolton-le-Sands, Lancashire. There’s a main channel that divides the long shoreline in two. The collie loves it, as she can vault over the narrow waters in pursuit of the frisbee; then … Read More The waterways of Bolton-le-Sands

I’ve often thought what a testimonial to the speed of the modern mind a motorway is. As our principal driver (though my wife is just as competent), I seldom get chance to take photographs. But when this deluge hit the M6, just south of Kendal, she was driving us to meet with her sister in Morecambe. I already had the phone camera in my … Read More Silver Fast Thread

This Sunday is the third of the month, and we have our SE-Explorations talk over Zoom; linking a growing group of people across the world in friendly yet deep explorations of key topics in modern mysticism. This month’s topic is the mystery of identity. We begin by asking. ‘What is identity?’ We will all have answers unique to our journeys… When I was a boy, … Read More 00Self

That feeling of being behind a time-travelling invisible ‘camera’, the result of a compelling narrative that plays you as witness to the action – or misdemeanour – that’s just taken place. Crime writers know it well. It’s one of the tools of their trade. The proverbial smoking gun, borrowed by just about everyone else who wants to invoke that sense of vivid event a … Read More Slices of Titanic (1) Malcolm’s pocket watch

The wind howled at us as we left the car park to climb the hill to the strange stone ring on its summit. It’s in the Republic of Ireland, near the border with Northern Ireland; all of it within the ancient province of Ulster. Bernie had seen it in a guide book and we wanted to take a look while we were in the … Read More A Donegal Journey (4) : The Ring on the Hill

We thought we’d save it for the final day of our time in Co. Donegal but then – on the way back from visiting a nearby hilltop ring fort and surviving a gale that tried to hurl us off the elevated walkways – we felt in need of a gentler experience. Driving back to our rented cottage, we passed the Inch Banks causeway that … Read More A Donegal Journey (3) The Last Inch
