The Point of Vanishing & Other Dreams

Blog


In my blog, I explore the themes that weave through my stories and dreams:

the need to belong, and the fear of loss; the longing for family and home and love; loneliness and the extraordinary power of the human spirit; depression - and hope; the clarifying presence of the natural world, and ways of being awake and alive in the only moment we really have: this one.

I hope you'll follow me beyond the storytelling, and join me on this very human journey....

"Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world." ~Oscar Wilde

‘I dream my paintings and then I paint my dreams’. ~Vincent Van Gogh

The following little creations are taken from recent dreams, rough hewn and unpolished, mined directly from the unconscious. They are the raw material for future Wishing Tree tales, and they are very, very short .

Sinking


We all have different tolerance levels to stress.  We also all have different triggers.  What sets off one person will pass another by like a cloud across the sky. 

My particular triggers are always to do with emotion.  So, this past week has been particularly hard for me.  Things happened at work, people got upset, I found myself in the middle of it all, and when my feelings are churning around inside me I find my eating and sleeping and concentration are altered too, and consequently my ability to continue to deal effectively with whatever the situation demands.   If it drags on for days or even weeks, the stress can become unmanageable.
