Iโ€™m not a Botticelli Venus just a wee person in Scotland who thinks that each of us has to choose unity and peace in our own life. Iโ€™m choosing to focus on beauty, truth and joy because I believe that only an open loving heart can heal us and our Earth ๐ŸŒŽ.

A sample of the harvest from my garden this afternoon. The small eggplants are a miniature variety called โ€˜Baby Jackโ€™, which are mature at 2-3 inches. Perfect single-serving size.

(2/4) But the heaviness and the seriousness of spiritual thoughts need to be tempered with the yeast of laughter. There are always humorous aspects to the darkest picture. If you doubt that, set yourself to describing your situation as if it was a cartoon and your job was to find a caption.

We went to see Christopher Nolanโ€™s movie โ€˜The #Odysseyโ€™ yesterday afternoon It was stunning - not perfect but very impressive I was struck by the importance of โ€˜homeโ€™ Going home Being home Is there anything more human? The struggle - not least with ourselves The longing The belonging - is key
