Here is something I have been thinking about after watching a WP ‘ film’ from a blogger. My question was : ‘Would it be ethical for a machine to read your memory/ thoughts?’ Would I as a Christian find this acceptable? Here is my thought journey.

Summer scenes
We have appreciated some special places this summer. Here are a few scenes from Germany, where we spent most time travelling, then Holland and three weeks in Ireland. There was so much but these are my ‘wow ‘ moments with why. The colour scheme for planting in this area was blue, purple, pink and thenContinue reading “Summer scenes”
Four trees…
the zig-zag tree, the wounded tree, the blown over tree, and the chopped down tree. All oak trees except for the zig-zag tree. Let us start with the zig-zag tree I photographed 24 May 2021 and later painted for a post. Here it is in 2026:
Then and now Amaryllis belladonna
First a question from Jesus to Peter: ‘Who do you say I am?’ Peter’s answer was quick and brief: ‘ The Christ of God.’ Then Jesus told Peter His ( the Son of Man’s) future: ‘ I must suffer many things, be rejected, be killed and be raised the third day.’ He also said aContinue reading “Then and now Amaryllis belladonna”

Daniel is speaking to Nebuchadnezzar: ‘ You, Oh King are a king of kings for the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power and strength, and glory. And wherever people live, the wild animals and all animals and birds are placed in your hands as’ you have been made the ruler ( theContinue reading “Yellow or Gold”
A Sabbath walk with coincidence.
The coincidence was that around 600BC Saxon invaders sailed up the Thames and settled beside the Kennet. These were Readingas named after their leader Reads ( The Red) who gave the town their name. Here are the boards bearing this information and then some words I’m very fond of. They are all places familiar toContinue reading “A Sabbath walk with coincidence.”

Skies
When clouds break, focus is on what is below. Our world,our clouds, our sky. When clouds frame blue sky we look at the detail, we notice the fraying edges and the grey with white in the below centre. Our shrubs, trees, clouds and sky. When storm clouds part a little to see the palest ofContinue reading “Skies”
Eucalyptus and Salvia
Jesus’s words as He ends a prayer He taught all of us to pray: I am looking at how the prayer ends. ‘ And lead us not into temptation.’ This part reads differently in the Aramaic language: ” And do not let us enter into temptation, but deliver/rescue us from the evil one (free usContinue reading “Eucalyptus and Salvia”
A dry spell ‘sculpture’ in a vase
Jesus speaking: ‘ Whoever drinks the water from the well will be thirsty again: But whoever drinks the water I will give them will never thirst, but the water I give will be in the person a water springing up into ever lasting life.’ The woman: ‘Sir, give me that water.’ These words are recalledContinue reading “A dry spell ‘sculpture’ in a vase”
Wisley after a long dry spell.
‘And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there He put the man whom he had formed.’ Genesis 2: 7,8 (but I like the versesContinue reading “Wisley”
The dry meadow
Today it has been raining and we are pleased. The three photographs above record the yellow of the wildflower meadow, the areas around the veteran oaks and how the pond has shrunk in Popeswood meadow. This week we will see change as rain comes to green the grass and relieve the shrubs and trees fromContinue reading
