In the movie Fly Away Home a young girl becomes a surrogate parent for a brood of Canada geese hatchlings. She even learns to fly an ultralight plane in order to lead and teach them their migratory path – across borders, laws, procedures and regulations – to a safe haven in a warmer climate for a cycle of new life …

Since the 1960’s we’ve seen reflected in presentations and publications a sense of great change at fundamental levels – much deeper perhaps than our immediate attention might discern. Our daily living seems to follow much the same pattern as it always has and yet as each new generation enters the stream of human consciousness and as each new scientific and …

While we might often use the word, “sharing”, many interpretations can constellate around what it means in essence. It is an apparently simple concept yet it has generated a vast complexity of systems, values and priorities that its essential impulse (or spark) may have become lost in the surface phantasmagoria of materiality.

There seems to be an impetus to change moving through the world – a sort of pressure to move up to the next level of potential and possibility; to intuit and perceive more expansive goals that will guide our thought, energy and resources into a new civilisation, one that lives in interdependent awareness within the whole of the world, of …

Time can seem such an ephemeral concept that it is almost unreal and yet it drives our ordinary lives with a powerful authority and we can be swept along in its great tide. Timetables and schedules organise our day. Habitual patterns of activity keep pace with the unfolding of the day’s hours, minutes and even seconds. Speed is urged to …

What a bundle of contradictions we humans can seem to be! We want to belong, to be like everyone else, and yet at the same time we desire to be acknowledged and to express our individuality within the larger group. The wondrous thing is that together we form the kingdom in nature which finds it possible to identify both with …

At this time of year while there is an emphasis on finishing up and fulfilling undertakings, there is also a magnetic pull into the seasonal celebrations and the prospect of a fresh start with a new year.
