Headlong to Christmas

the rush

has begun

and we know

it can only
get worse

as we race

headlong

towards

what passes

for the
celebrations of your birth

holy child

give us

islands of
stillness

in the
frenzy of preparation

give us
snatches

of peace

amid the
tensions

of others’
expectations

and in the
excesses

of the
shopping mall

remind us

of the
simple poverty

of the
stable

holy child

as we rush
towards Christmas

give us your
stillness

your peace

your
simplicity

give us
especially

the gift of
yourself

Vaughan Park Scholarship

In early 2010, I had the privilege of studying and writing at Vaughan Park Anglican Retreat Centre in New Zealand where I studied the power of imaginative contemplation with the scriptures to facilitate healing.

Retreat Leading

Since 2004, I have worked as a Christian Writer and Retreat Leader.

I specialise in weaving contemporary poetry, scripture and contemplative meditations into retreat times and my retreats are usually aimed at helping others to deepen their relationship with God and to receive his healing love.

I am always open to discuss ways in which I might be able to help those seeking a retreat leader, or seeking to find a suitable retreat for themselves, so please do get in touch.

Please support me by praying for my ministry.

I'll be posting my latest news and prayer requests on this site.

Thank you ...
