I was watching Michael Rosen on TV this morning.
He’s such a lovely man; funny and wise.

He was talking about the quest for “the perfect thing”
In his case, the perfect houmous.
Well, why not?
It’s as good an object for a spiritual quest as any!

He was, he said, always disappointed.
In his imagination he could envisage the perfect houmous.
The “sublime” version.
But the actual houmous he got was never quite that.

The trick, he said, was being able to be happy with less than the envisioned ideal.
Not seeing it as a failure to get perfection.
But being able to enjoy “good enough” with gratitude and joy.

Absolutely!

I wrote about peace yesterday.
I’m writing about peace again today.
World peace is a critical concern for us all at present.
Our futures depend upon the ability of heads of state and their negotiating teams to find a way through this fractured time.
Why is it so difficult?
Why all the aggression and bullying and suspicion and power games?

We need to bring our perspective from flood to beam.
Focus in on the near and small.
On the close-to-home.

What about us?
How do we ourselves deal with people who are different from us, and don’t see things as we do?
How do we deal with people who have not “played fair”, not kept their word?
People we don’t trust, or don’t like?
People who have been aggressive towards us?

Working for peace in our daily lives demands we talk to people we don’t like.
And listen.
That we allow others to feel differently and act in a way we find hard to comprehend.
And try to understand their viewpoint and motivation, even if it goes against all we feel and think.
It demands we try and find the shred of common ground, the glimmer of shared humanity, and hope we can build on it.
It demands we build bridges, however precarious and flimsy they may be.
And however much we don’t want to and feel “why should I?”

World peace begins with us.
Each and every one of us.
In our kitchens and in our living rooms.
In our places of work and in our leisure pursuits.

Peace is infectious.
We all need to spread it around.
We all need to catch it.
This is the pandemic our world desperately needs.

Peace.
It’s not a passive absence of stuff.
Not a pink and fluffy state of retreat from troublesome, contentious and divisive things.
Not a running away from conflict.

It’s an act of courage.
Of faith.
Something we do.
Moving towards the conflict with an open heart, flexible mind and creative spirit.
And a firm resolve to build connections and find a meeting place.

It doesn’t just happen.
We have to make it.

“Answering The Call”
This makes a frequent appearance as a title in oracle decks and so on.
But what is The Call?
How do we recognise it?
And what do we have to do to answer it?

We would all like The Call to be pretty obvious.
Pretty unmistakeable,
Pretty unequivocal.
A vision maybe.
Or an apport, animal visitation or something dramatic and clear-cut, to dispel any hesitation or doubt on our part.
If only life was that simple!

But what if The Call slides in by the back door, under cover of darkness with no fanfare?

Do we recognise it in that time of emptiness, of doubt, or arid disillusion?
Do we recognise it in anguish, sadness and helplessness?
Do we recognise it in loss and heartache and pain?
Or in those bleak and unforgiving times when search as we may we cannot find comfort?

And in these times, can we still answer ”yes”?

I’ve had a few enquires recently from people I haven’t seen for a while.
They all start the same way:
“Are you still…?”

So….
Yes, I am still alive.
Yes, I am still “doing my thing” as someone put it.
Yes, I would be very happy to see you if you need some help.
Whether you are a ”returner” or someone new.

Not sure what I can offer you, or whether it’s what you need?
Why not simply message me?
Or email me?
Or just give me a ring?
I’m always happy to chat things through.
There’s no charge, obviously, and no obligation, also obviously!

It’s very important you end up on the right doorstep, and get the right thing for you.
Whether that’s from me, or someone else.
Just ask!

Sounds like a good place to start!

Someone said to me the other day that she was constantly in tears about the world situation.
The bombings.
The dreadful death toll.
The suffering.

Feeling for others, being compassionate and caring, is wonderful.
But nothing is served by our being overwhelmed by situations we can do little to alter.
We all have a responsibility to keep a tight hold on joy.
Joy?
When all these terrible things are happening?
When so many are suffering?
Yes, even then.

Joy is not conditional on outside circumstances.
It isn’t an “only when things are fine” feeling.
Joy is held deep within us.
A light that remains even in the darkest of times.
In fact, it is during the darkest of times that it is needed more than ever.

Anguish and despair are infectious.
So is joy.

Choose joy.

Mindfulness
Honestly, I’m beginning to feel just a tad sick of the word.
It’s everywhere.
And it seems to have become watered down into a pale dilution of its former self.
So it has now become a “thing we do” instead of “a way we are”.

The concept is wonderful.
Staying in the moment and all that.
But if that moment is just a moment and doesn’t translate into anything broader, then it really has the benefit of a catnap and not a lot more.

We talk about people being “absent-minded” when they are going about dislocated from their connection to the physical world.

Maybe we could think about being “present-minded” as a way of describing an attitude to life that holds securely to awareness of the thread of the day, moment by moment.

Not as a technique, but as a way of being.

I came across this phrase in an email today.
It was an email about metaphysical matters.
You know.
Portals.
Stargates.
And stuff like that.
This was the phrase: “Activate ancient codes of consciousness”.

It was something we were meant to be doing, I think.
I’m not sure
Anyway, I don’t know what it means.
Actually, I didn’t know what most of the email meant.
It was all a little too esoteric and mysterious and, well, incomprehensible for me.

Now you may be sitting there thinking “call yourself a spiritual guide and you don’t know what this means?”
And you may well have a point.

But to my way of thinking, feeling, experiencing, it really doesn’t need to be complicated.

We need to keep our feet on the ground, stay in this beautiful world of ours, give thanks to the power that created it, and treat others as we would wish to be treated.

It’s really quite simple.
