What you'll find here

 

Welcome to this jumble sale of writings, musings, observations and inspirations: I hope you find something to help you on your journey home.  It's all storytelling, in the end. That's how we understand things; the stories of who we are, where we came from, where we're headed. The stories of other people, how they came to be who they are, which stories shaped them, why our stories sometimes run parallel, and sometimes clash.

When we're motivated enough, we can change our stories, write new outcomes for ourselves and our people, our planet. All it takes is imagination, where there are, genuinely, no limits.

Warmest regards

Peter Neary-Chaplin

Writer. Poet.

    Strange disciple

    DateWednesday, March 25, 2009 at 03:25PM

    Held no creed

    Believed in what he could believe

    Bending like a flaxen reed.

    Blessing where blessing lacked

    Healed heavy souls and broken-backed.

    Never knew the master's gaze

    Fought with his men

    Who thought they had the rights back then

    Not recognising whom they praised.

    Spent his long days doing good

    Caring, mending, defending

    Putting heart in heartless places

    Winning some, losing more

    Never keeping score.

    Now buried with a single stone

    By half-men from among the tombs

    Who knew a saint by smell alone

    And waited for the carnival to leave

    Then carved his name and beat their breast

    Full men at their very best.

     

    Who was that man, he'd often thought

    Who threw the fire that he had caught?
