I sobbed a lot day one and two with the horrendous internal pain that loss causes. For nineteen years (plus the nine months he spent growing within) my son and I have journeyed through this mother/son relationship and have enjoyed each other’s company 98% of the time. My son brought joy into my heart and life…
He and I have journeyed together, just us, since he was two and a half. Nearly seventeen years. So many significant events occurred within/without me on the day he was born to this very moment. On the day of his birth, for the first time in my 32 years, I received the gift of…

I laid my hands on my dogs’ spine And I prayed. No, not to a god of religion Not to a theology or a dogma To the universe, to love, to the power, the energy that I know pulsates in all things. I sometimes call it spirit Sometimes ATI…All That Is Sometimes divine mother because…
Princess YaYa suddenly got sick on Saturday night By Sunday we all learnt she had Type One diabetes. It’s Thursday, she’s still in hospital And at thirteen trying to comprehend what all this means. As is her mum, her little brother, my son (their step brother…don’t ask) and me. Of Boof-head, Princess YaYa and Skippy,…
In the supermarket a mother chastises her child with; “If you don’t stop that I’ll knock you down.” From the neighbour’s house came screaming voices as mum and dad disagreed. In state parliament yesterday one politician arguing with another stated it was unfortunate that; “I can’t take you outside and beat you to death.” On…
The christians don’t want us to be married they don’t want us to be together they don’t want us… to be. So they be speaking up preaching from the pulpit representing their god and their Jesus. Because Jesus said… hold on I’m looking feed the hungry… no, not that, tend the sick… no, Turn the…
