SEAHORSE, my friend

He was real, I was young enough to love him for what he was, a real sea creature in the early waves, Bay of Bengal. Through the years, he has followed me, city after city, lane after lane, along with a certain “Harrison” Aussy Life Saver/priest who took me to the Shoulder of a wave. Continue reading

Inspired by a real life 5 year old I met one monsoon at a school for slum kids, you’d never forget ‘Raju’ the school called him. His folks called him ‘chokra’ for street boy.

‘The Cokeville Miracle’

True life stories have a way of leaving you staring as movie credits scroll down your Living room: after you get a glass of cool water, you re- live some of the scenes you just watched, then get back in current reality, a little re- arranged. This Movie had that effect on me/ us. I Continue reading

We have had tea together a thousand times in these cane chairs facing her curry leaf tree and windows hung with old silk curtains.

The power of belief

It can turn you and me into ‘threshing machines’ (Is 41.15); thresh away doubt in the amazing love of God. I’ve seen hate and I’ve seen indifference, but nothing shakes my core like the Presence of Him who can touch my heart of stone. ..nothing moves me like the Fountain of His tender mercy new Continue reading

I get a forward on “Feeling Joy no matter what” and I’m thinking “Nice!” but the weather is neat pools of red mud where they’re digging up new roads around our address.

Woman

Not just raised as suns: if you were sat in a chair in a room with closed door, your light spilt out Thresholds. You did school, college & scrabble: got triple scores & blanks, double dares and heart break in crosswords where you wrote Lyrics of Peace ✨ Nah, you were/ are not only as Continue reading
