Episode 107 - She Moves Through the Fair
When did your heart first leap out of itself, wanting to reside in the body of they-who-had-just-walked-past? They were surely more you than your own self, yet without ungainly stoop, spot-free, gaze…
Episode 106 - Sensing, Stillness and Sovereignty

Episode 103 - It's In Our Hands
It is Wednesday, named for Woden, Odin, he of the one baleful eye. With it, even without the parallax view, he would see that today is a golden coin, unearthed from the ploughed field of autumn.…
Episode 102 - Handmade Prayers
Oak comes to the rescue, yet again. This laptop sits on a cork mat which prevents the cold hard aluminium edge of the camping table, which provisionally serves as my writing desk, from digging into…
Episode 101 - Thoughts from Inside a Hollow Oak
I pack a box, clean a table, write more. The day is all mixed up. I cut my toenails then cry into my phone at the beauty of a message. The world is mixed up. The aspect ratio of verity and simile is…

Episode 95 - Finding the Words
