Something’s gone wrong, something’s changed. My heart breaks. He’s back. I’m so, so sad for him, I’m gutted to find him once again in the same situation, it’s not fair. Since June last year, all through the summer he was a regular visitor, part of our tribe. He turned up suddenly, simply appeared one day,... Continue Reading →
He’s there. Glimpses, then gone, but I see you. Sneaking through the shadows, dodging the open spaces, peering from hidey holes, running for cover. I see you. I feel you. Survivor, street scuttler, night walker, hidden crier, bony wanderer. All weathers, alone, you wander the streets, round and round but will not trust. Your gaunt... Continue Reading →
I have loved animals all my life and always known they had consciousness, I never doubted it. Most people have probably seen this by now, but I have just watched it again and it never fails to move me, overwhelm me; it is so profound, so moving, so powerful, if you’ve not seen it, watch...

This is ginge, just one of the many solitary wanderers, who survive alone, out there somewhere, much of the time invisibly. They all have stories we’ll never know, you only have to look at their faces, look into their eyes, to see they have carried a lot. This poor boy turned up in the garden... Continue Reading →

‘I don’t belong here in a world full of strangers, it was all someone else’s idea.’ T. Waits. Becoming Cat. I watch Poe sleep. Draw him. Lose myself in him. Because I need to. I need to lose this ‘self’, this burdened, distracted, jibbering mind that cannot rest. So I slip into his black fur,... Continue Reading →
The glow of festive, magical lights, the haunting echo of carols, the jingle of bells, a small village putting on such a festive experience, beautiful, right???.............

So, I used to love fireworks when I was a child, they were magical. Their gold and silver eruptions in the darkness, the green and red wheezy outpourings and fiery fountains, the wonderful after-smell, there was something special about those glittery firings into the darkness, it touched the imagination, the elemental. But now, I hate... Continue Reading →
Because I care, I’m a threat. Because I get upset, I’m extreme. Because I love, I go too far. Because I see the truth, I’m trouble. Because I live from my heart, I’m provocative. Because I want peace, I’m aggressive. Because I am passionate, I am offensive. Because I want freedom, I’m a terrorist. Because... Continue Reading →
This man is amazing. Go and browse his blog, he talks so much sense, I wish more people were aware of him and would take the time to really think about what he’s saying.
The great thinkers throughout the journey of humanity have united in one common place of truth…the need for human compassion to embrace all living creatures if we are to survive as a species.
