'I write because I don't know what I think until I read what I say.' [Flannery O' Connor]
Why this blog?
The simple answer...
Because I have things to say and my voice sounds better when it is written down.
The variety of chair styles in the above image represents the various walks and stages of life, cultures,
backgrounds and places we all come from but signifying that we can all sit around one table and
respectfully engage with one another; sharing conversations, burdens, joys and perspectives.
This is a personal blog...
The perspectives, thoughts and opinions are my own and informed from personal context, crises, conversations, concerns, characters (real or fictional) and Christian convictions.
I am not writing on behalf of any specific group or organisation (secular or Christian).
My intention is to pen my thinking with heart and integrity and for visitors to my site to
pause | read | engage; to think critically and have conversations where truth and grace have the final say.

'Fairy tales only happen in movies.' [George Melies]
TV ROOM
'It's funny how the colors of the real world only seem
really real when you watch them on a screen.'
'We love films because they make us feel something.
They speak to our desires, which are never small.
They allow us to escape and to dream and to gaze into the eyes that are
impossibly beautiful and huge. They fill us with longing.
But also, they tell us to remember; they remind us of life.
Remember, they say, how much it hurts to have your heart broken.'
'Movies touch our hearts and awaken our vision, and change the way we see things. They take us to other places, they open doors and minds. Movies are the memories of our life time, we need to keep them alive.' [Martin Scorsese]
