I don’t have a whole heart to love God with. That was a realisation I made a couple of years ago. I realised that I had taken for granted that I had a whole heart. It was June 2013, and I was preparing myself for an inner-healing session when I made this startling realisation as I […]
Who are you, God, and who am I? For so long I have not had an accurate view of who I am. I see what I wish to see; I see what isn’t there but which I want to be there; I see through other’s eyes (or what I think they see). I see more […]
There comes a time in life when we will give thanks not only for the things that hold us together, but for the things that make us fall apart. There comes a time in life when we become grateful not only for the people who make us happy, but for the people who make our life unbearable. There comes […]
My first thought in 2015 was the word “Listen.” It was whispered into my consciousness as I was still stirring awake. Listen. Silence. Solitude. Detachment.

The theme of 2014 has been Freedom, and what a splendid year it has been on that account. “Be silent, be still, listen, and do whatever He tells you.” Just do it. And I have! :D
“In any love-story there are usually two stages or phases. There is the initial stage, where love is expressed by the giving of gifts, especially the gift of self. Then there comes a time when it is no longer enough to give gifts to the beloved, but one has to be ready to suffer for […]
I have known for some time how important self-knowledge is to spiritual growth. But it is only lately that I have begun to realise why. Here is what I have learned. Other people aside, there are at least two parties that know me really well. One of them is God of course. He created me […]
It’s so easy to speak about longing for light during Advent. When I don’t ponder more deeply about it, there is something even pretty “feel good” about it. Who in darkness wouldn’t want the light? There is something wonderfully comforting about the image of light coming into darkness. When we read the Old Testament prophecies, […]
