Never underestimate the benefits of something really good to read. Reading has the power to take you into a different world, allowing all the negative things in this world to fade away. What do you read that takes you inside its pages? Bible, westerns, fiction, romance, autobiography, travel, mystery, poetry, drama, blogs, comics, anime, motorcycle…
Suicide After a Battle to Stay Alive
I am vastly experienced with suicide, professionally over two extremely different mental health positions coming up on a decade, and personally for thirty years. It is NOT an easy way out for people. It is NOT something a person wishes to do. It is NOT selfish. It is something a person will fight against for as…
Broken and Abused Building
Looking at this from the outside you might see a broken down, used and abused building? However, take time to look inside and you can see how much life and growth there is. You know where I'm going with this; much like people, we could see someone screwed up, or we could attempt to see what…
Kairos Has Saved Lives
Kairos for me is a time in history which creates an opportunity for, and indeed demands, an existential decision by the human subject. A delicate, crucial MOMENT, in which you can rewrite your personal history. How many times have you, who is reading this, had such a moment in your life, that MOMENT, when you know it is…
Suicide?
This blog post is a little different as it may come across as a little angry. You know all those copy paste and share things linked to Suicide you see all over Facebook and other social media?

How Small and Insignificant Are You?
Mindfulness can be practiced in so many ways and places. Just now as I was driving home from work, in the dark, on a busy road with road works, I was approaching my turn off. I noticed running at the side of the road a tiny little brown field mouse. This is through being aware in…
I Am Not I
I enjoy poetry as it allows me to focus solely on something, and let my unconscious run with it. I also like Artwork, photography, or anything that allows me to focus on something. I think we could all get something different from reading the same poetry. I think what we need to see, hear or…
Can Broken Love Be Strong Enough?
Can broken love be strong enough? This is a question with no ‘correct’ answer. It could depend on: circumstances, both people, dependants, finances, past experiences, support network, trust, Spiritual Faith, guilt, shame, mental health, etc. The tension of our lives are in this picture. We all have a heart, all nations, cultures, colours and religions. How…
You Want Me to Forgive my Evil Abuser?
I wonder if you could forgive an evil person that has knowingly hurt you, or abused you? I wonder could you forgive a family member who has ripped every shred of trust out of your mind, body and spirit? I wonder could you forgive a partner who tried to send your ashes to the devil,…
Stuck In A Well!
Depression is a killer. Let us not candy coat it, depression has killed a lot of people who could have been helped. If you suffer from depression I hope this post will help you become more aware, and reflect on what your own depression is? Or if you do not have depression, then what someone you know is…
