Susanna Helen's Blog: Easter Day: Arising
http://susannahelensblog.blogspot.com/2015/04/easter-day-arising.html
My online Commonplace Book: Poetry, miscellanea and musings on life. Sunday, 5 April 2015. What does it mean, this resurrection story? Early in the morning it is the women who go to the tomb only to find that their Beloved is no longer there. When they give witness to having seen the Risen One, they are not believed. Yet gradually the men too are able to see. But what, or who, are they seeing? In Seeking the Risen Christa. Alleluia, I greet the Risen Christa in you! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

My online Commonplace Book: Poetry, miscellanea and musings on life. Friday, 3 April 2015. Good Friday - Scatness Stations. Is a very special peninsula near to where I stay in Southern Shetland,with Iron Age buildings of unknown purport at the tip. My aim today was to take a meditative walk there, stopping at various points to create an alternative Stations of the Cross.

My online Commonplace Book: Poetry, miscellanea and musings on life. Monday, 6 July 2015. Here is a piece I wrote back in July 2003 when Martina Navratiliova won her 20th Wimbledon title. With victory in the mixed doubles. It seems I was reading Barbara Kingsolver's High Tide in Tucson. With apologies to Barbara Kingsolver). But the game is not the World Series or even the Superbowl, although no doubt many otherwise well-adjusted mid-life women could justifiably spend their time on either. The game w...

http://susannahelensblog.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
My online Commonplace Book: Poetry, miscellanea and musings on life. Thursday, 1 January 2015. On Reading (and Watching): E. F. Benson's Mapp and Lucia. It was my Dad who first mentioned E F Benson's. Tom Holt wrote a couple of sequels and a very new Channel 4 did an excellent TV adaptation of the last 3 books by Gerald Savory. I regularly watch my DVDs of this series and I recently re-read all six of the books, so you can definitely say that I'm a Benson fan! And Julia Raeside in the Guardian. There's a...

The copy I had as a child got chewed up by the family dog and for ages all I could remember about the book was this beautiful cover and that it had a heroine called Ryl. Pastures of the Blue Crane.

My online Commonplace Book: Poetry, miscellanea and musings on life. Wednesday, 8 April 2015. Shetland Remembers: 8 April 1940. Blackboard recording events on the night of 8 April 1940. Fascinating talk this afternoon up at the Sumburgh Head Lighthouse and Visitor Centre. As well as the twentieth century military history, Chris talked about the archaeological features that show the use of the land at Sumburgh as an Iron Age Fort, evidence that this has long been a site of strategic importance.
