Appreciation

We are having a small amount of concrete laid today between our already asphalted driveway and our new shed.  I was watching the concrete being poured and remarking how wonderful it is that they can take a sloppy, lumpy mess and turn it into a smooth flat surface for driving on. This got me to thinking about a couple of things.  One was how we all have something that we

Let Go Of Fear

For those of us in Australia, the concern this weekend is for the federal election. I rarely watch any news on television, because I know that the media are like sharks, feeding on any fears that arise.

Peace = No More Guilt

It has been a while since I wrote a blog about animals, and I felt the urge today to make that up to them. The more we think about animals, the more we consider our cruel treatment of them.  The more that we consider our cruel treatment of animals, the more we can understand that the problems which we face in our lives and in our world are merely a
