A common feminist refrain “We don’t need anybody to give us power. It was always ours. Just eliminate the roadblocks.” True that! But are there still some women on the fringes who are not aware of what they can do or create? I use the word ‘some’, because I suspect the number is more than […]Levels … Continue reading Levels of Women Empowerment — SacredCircleforWomen
https://open.spotify.com/episode/5spWzQfl0v7IKP8xPdEQGR?si=aa73b8505edc4457 The storyline of some movies I saw in childhood centred around village fairs - lost and found themes, kidnapping, poverty and exploitation. I see a new tribe of village women here, all made up and wearing red lipstick selling sugarcane juice. It is a marvel how the local mindset has changed from keeping women … Continue reading A-changing

There are no lights blinking on that grey building, despite the fact that we are in the last week of the calendar year. Do the residents belong to a different cult? Are they mourning a loss? Or are they simply not there? The last … Continue reading At the stroke of twelve
Living with nature …..by Sadje
Man in his arrogance and ignorance thinks that he has the right to overtake all the resources of the planet they live on.
Deforestation and plundering of water resources have brought us to the brink of severe water shortages and drastic climate change. Who are we kidding, the climate change is already here and is having a huge impact on the population worldwide.
It’s time to try to live with nature with all its glory and beauty. Instead of cutting down dozens of trees to construct your palace, build your home around a tree. Let its branches be the beams that support your ceiling. Let the trunk provide support for the stairwell and let the green oxygen-providing leaves grow in your rooms.
The only issue I can see would be that the insects, birds, and small critters that normally inhabit the tree. They may feel resentful at being displaced from…

Christmas with Mary Lomax ….. by Michael
Mrs Mary Lomax had a house with a tree growing through it.
Which meant at Christmas she had plenty of opportunity to hang her decorations and create some fascinating light shows.
It wasn’t everyone who could do what she did and that suited her very much as Mary Lomax was not like other people. She lived alone, kept to herself and refused all council directives to remove the trees branches from within her house.
Rather every year or so she renovated her house to accommodate the growing tree.
She anticipated her children would be arriving on Christmas day and there would be the usual round of requests from them to do something about the house. In particular the tree. He eldest daughter complained that in the most recent renovation her mother had moved the wall in her bedroom such that when she went to bed at night her body was…

Santa Claus #Rhyme ….by Jane Aguiar
Santa Claus came down
and visited my town
danced round and round
stamping feet on the ground!!
My Persian cat
jumped on his hat
the cat is too fat
so in fear he sat!!
The cat dragged her claws
with anger opened jaws
his dance got a pause
everything happens for a cause!!
So Santa requests all of us
to celebrate Christmas
as birth of Jesus
and to welcome the baby Jesus!!

⭐People forgot the meaning of Christmas. They celebrate by dance and dine and not by attending mid night Mass. They don’t pray and welcome baby Jesus. Christmas means the birth of Jesus Christ, the son of God.
Thank you for reading.
Stay Blessed 💞
