		<description><![CDATA[
For various reasons this  last week, I have found myself in a deeply reflective space.
I&#8217;ve walked again in an earlier me, revisiting events and experiences from 10-25 years ago.
I&#8217;ve unearthed diaries, letters and other mementos and spent time reading them. It is fascinating to have such a clear record of what I was thinking and [...]]]></description>

Unshaved, unkempt,
black nails, black teeth
and an old, tattered coat.
You&#8217;d dismiss him as derelict
and walk straight past.
Yet when he spoke
eagles soared,
mountains talked
and I glimpsed infinity.
&#8220;I&#8217;m a storyteller&#8221;
he said.
His stories wove spells
of dreaming and meaning.
The universe expanded,
and I felt for a moment
that I touched its limits.
Derelict,
Storyteller,
Spellbinder &#8230;
The essence of truth
lies perhaps in all three.

		<description><![CDATA[
World peace .. does that sometimes seem an impossible dream?
Maybe.
We&#8217;re all human. We get cranky and annoyed. People irritate us &#8211; their  actions hurt or anger us. And certain events in our lives lead to feelings of devasting pain, grief or anger.
We&#8217;ve all seen the effects of these things, either in our own lives [...]]]></description>
