This is a video of an or some old friends who are regular visitors to our garden, and who have not been visiting for some several days before today. I was beginning to think the worse, when this one, and another who is not included in the video turned up to have a meal. Transpired, it appears that this one was caring for her young. Take a look and be reacquainted, and, if you will, enjoy the moments.

This is a continuation of Taku2u's imaginary conversation with God. In having this conversation, Taku2u is working on the premis that, like a father or mother to their children, God would not object to his children - based on the proposition of the creationists - having an frank and honest conversation with him/her/deity.  T.: Moving on, G. In verse 22 of Chapter 3 of Genesis, you are quoted as expressing some alarm that “man has become as one of us, to know good and evil”, and might take and eat of the tree of life and live forever. So, why were you so afraid of man, your own creation, who, according to the scribes, you created in  your own image, that you turned your back on him and his wife and drove them out of the garden? G.: You know what, T, can you imagine the fear which humans had when the first atomic bombs were made and exploded, how they would have feared that it could have resulted in the end of the world as it were? Yes, of course you can. Do y

By resigning from politics after the debacle of Libya and Brexit, is David Cameron continuing a new trend of the West's 'cut and run' foreign policy of Blair and Bush? So, consider this: Why did David Cameron, the former Conservative Prime Minister of Britain, suddenly gave in his notice and left his job, after a small majority of the British electorate voted for the country to leave the European Union? And why did he subsequently decided to resigned from official politics, as his replacement, Theresa May, began to assert her authority by making it clear that the British ship of state is now under a new captian? In the case of the first question, a credible response would be that he Mr Cameron acted out of principle and political pragmatism. That, having promised the British electorate that there would be a referendum on whether or not the U.K. remain in the European Union, and then ardently campaigned for the United Kingdom to stay in it, and dramatically losing

So, how can it be that a man who has, by the things he says and does, and by the adverse reactions of us who consider those things and actions to be detestable, become so vilified, and yet, now appears to be within close proximity of probably taking up tenancy in the White House, and becoming the 45th President of the United States of America? By what catastrophic events, by what trickery being perpetrated by the gods and by the political machiavellianism of the power elite in the United States, is the Presidency of the U.S. and the proverbial leadership of the 'western world' being held hostage by this unholy and diabolical plot? How did it come to this, that the man who Donald Trump has metamorphosed into, upto the past month or so, become a credible opponent to Hillary Clinton for the Presidency? Well, I suspect that there is really a conspiracy amongst the elites and the elitist supporters behind Donald Trump. But I am also wondering whether it is not muc

Still making my way to Devil's Bridge, along with other passengers on the Rheiffordd Cwm Rheidol train, and observing the somewhat unique and beautiful green hills, mountains and valleys of Wales. A most enjoyable journey it was. Take a look and see if your are able to allow the imagery and your imagination to produce enjoyment for you, also.

There are times when the social worker can feel 'all at sea', but not always with the confidence of having a protective and supportive employer's boat under their feel. The practice challenge for the social worker, is that of how does he/she combines and applies the theoretical framework which they have acquired during their training, to the practical problems which are affecting the families and individuals they are seeking to empower. so that they are better able to improve how they carry out their various roles and responsibilities? Whether it be that of parenting their children, establishing and maintaining healthy relationships with others, including partners, parents, and children who might be displaying difficult to manage behaviours.  Or to maintain their own emotional stability and live viable lives. In short, the social worker’s raison detre' is no other than that of enabling the solution of the problems which other people are experiencing in t

As the seasons come and go, so does the flora and fauna of canal life is transformed to harmonises with the other elements impacting on it. This short video is a representation of what it is like, at a particular time and space in it continuous journey. Take a look, and see if it has anything which harmonises with or brings a new perspective to your contemplative mood.

So, how does change takes place, in society, for example? Is it something which happens spontaneously or gradually? Does it happen as if it 'came out of nowhere', as it were, or is it the result of a process, where different things, deliberately and/or unintentionally, come together to create or give birth to something new, such as a different way of perceiving and doing things? This morning I had the privilege to be listening to the British Broadcasting Radio 4 news, when it reported that a group of Ghanaian academics and students are advocating for the removal of a statue of Mahatma Gandhi, on the basis that he had apparently made remarks about indigenous Africans, which were of a prejudicial nature. Asked to explain why they are advocating the removal of the statute, the academic, who has begun the movement, began by saying that people who are responsible for social changes, are people who are able to think outside of the box, implying that, by making prejudicial

Colin Kaepernick and other American sports men who have decided to to take the courageous stance of not standing up for the recital of the American National anthem, are true American heroes. They are not sentimentalists. They are not Americans who will declare themselves to support their nation, 'right or wrong', when they have an abundance of evidence that their nation is patently 'wrong.'  They are not like ultra nationalists, of the kind that took Germany, in the past, into Nazihood, where the nation - or more accurately, the perceived guardians of what they want the nation to be, to become - could do no wrong and all other causes, however just and worthy, had to take second or no place at all. Where no sacrifice was considered too great or too onerous to demand and to make of the people. Where the country's flag and national anthem became god. Yes, Colin Kaepernik and the other sportsmen and women are taking a stand for what they believe in; they ar

And, finally, there is the probably most insidious reason why the average woman cannot or should not feel comfortable in her skin or her body; namely, her treatment as a second class citizen or being, whose validation appears to be predicated upon the 'value' which men have attributed to her. When it really comes down to it, it is arguable that the male and the female of the human specie have, at some point in their evolution, joined in a conspiracy to make the female, women, a servant of the man. With the woman, put bluntly, playing the more onerous role in the relationship between the two halves; primarily that of home maker, bearer and carer of children, and provider of the man's sexual desire and gratification. The average woman, arguably, when she considers her identity, whom she is, is probably more likely to think in terms of getting married, being a wife, being the mother and carer of children, her children, and managing her family's home.  Of course
