Oblivious

as the glory
of God

illuminates
the night

and
shepherds

tremble

before
angelic choirs

the rest of
the world

remains
oblivious

whilst a
young mother

and an
awestruck father

take in the
miracle

and the
mystery

the rest of
the world

continues
unaware

unaware

that
everything

just changed

a gift of
Love

lies
sleeping in the straw

the
greatness of God

takes baby
small breaths

in the hay

the Prince
of Peace

peacefully
sleeps

God has come

to us

and almost
no-one

notices

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 ...
