smaller footprint

Somehow I've reduced my ecological footprint... having moved house and so now walking to work, we now only need 3.1 planets instead of my previous 4.3

Now i'd like to nobly say that the motivation for the move was in some way was linked to this, but it wasn't... however isn't it good to see how much difference a change like walking to work can make.

Steps in the right direction.

And then some…

"The courage to act depends upon the strength one has gathered, the dares one has dared, and sometimes just because one was loved."

Big feet!

Apparently I have quite a big ecological footprint ... although I'm below the national average if everyone lived like me we'd need 4.3 planets... I think I need an ecological rethink!

Sometimes i think i think too much...

I'm reading....

... a brilliant book of poetry... connects inside somewhere...

But what about now?

"In the end will life triumph over death? With unshaken confidence Jesus answers: the kingdom of My Father cannot be overcome, even by death."
Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning, p192


By nine-thirty today I was ready to quit, to go home and get under my duvet, and hide.


It seemed that death and fear and defeat were triumphing in my patients... the aroma was sickening but I'm sorry that I wanted to flee...

... so somehow the end of the day came and I'm here wondering outloud about these words which were so encouraging a few days ago... did life triumph today?
