The usual frustrations of trying to work out which way to go and with everything being so full on at work, not having the time to think ahead and get my head around any planning with so many conflicting thoughts and considerations.

This has been a long considered pilgrimage that ended up shape shifting from research, thought, curiosity and imagination, to reality and then on into a liminal place today.

I feel quite a lot of conflict as a fully paid up heathen but, in my heart of hearts, I don’t think it matters; it certainly shouldn’t.

Human Family - Maya Angelou 

I note the obvious differences
in the human family.
Some of us are serious,
some thrive on comedy.

Some declare their lives are lived
as true profundity,
and others claim they really live
the real reality.

The variety of our skin tones
can confuse, bemuse, delight,
brown and pink and beige and purple,
tan and blue and white.

I've sailed upon the seven seas
and stopped in every land,
I've seen the wonders of the world
not yet one common man.

I know ten thousand women
called Jane and Mary Jane,
but I've not seen any two
who really were the same.

Mirror twins are different
although their features jibe,
and lovers think quite different thoughts
while lying side by side.

We love and lose in China,
we weep on England's moors,
and laugh and moan in Guinea,
and thrive on Spanish shores.

We seek success in Finland,
are born and die in Maine.
In minor ways we differ,
in major we're the same.

I note the obvious differences
between each sort and type,
but we are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike.

We are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike.

We are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike.
