The Silent Eye An ancient landscape, shrouded in mystery… strewn with stones and the last of the summer heather…scattered with sites of ancient sanctity. Stone circles… an enigmatic fortress rising from the bracken like a ship to carry mind and imagination back beyond the veiling mists. Time becomes fluid, marked in shadows cast by standing stones. Stories carved in millstone grit by ancient hands … Read More Circles beyond time

Sue’s beautiful rendering of the St. Valentine story… The Silent Eye In a plastic bucket beside the counter sat a dozen roses, each one individually wrapped, slightly faded, but with their heads held firmly erect in the stiff plastic. Each one would doubtless be bought and, given their garage location probably as an afterthought, along with the milk and petrol, and taken home to … Read More Beheading the Rose – The Mystery of St Valentine

Nine Deadly Sins with Coffee, part 48 – A Balance of Power .Alexandra. “Another confusing one to make sense of – yes, I know!” said John, looking at my slight scowl, as I sat down to the freshly brought coffees. “But, as we’ve seen, re-telling the story can help to prompt the right questions…” I had no idea where the sudden angst had come … Read More Nine Deadly Sins with Coffee, part 48 – A Balance of Power

The Silent Eye It was still full dark when I left…it will be a while before dawn and I coincide again on the drive back from the north.

John looked thoughtful–so thoughtful he sipped his coffee prematurely and burned his top lip. “Ouch!” he grumbled, obviously hurt. “Sod it…” He bent to put the overly-full coffee cup down, but it slipped in his … Read More Nine Deadly Sins with Coffee, part 47 – Mother and Child
