In my Substack posts and in a blogging website called relatedness.net I am developing a theme that Life is relational movement. All movement, whether material or living, can be fully described and recognised as a triune process. Movement is changing relatedness that repatterns forms. These three are the inextricably linked features of movement – change,…
It seems so obviously true that there are only two sorts of time. When I fall into a daydream and suddenly reawaken with a renewed start of conscious reorientation that I am sitting on a kitchen chair and staring out of a window, I look at the clock and that tells me I have been…
The story starts to accelerate now. I have been sharing some relational patterns shaping my family and work over time that unfolded into physical events in ways that do not fit with scientific materialism’s linear cause-effect principles. There is a good alternative New Science explanation that tunes in with ancient spiritual wisdom too, which I…
Life-enhancing principles such as engaging in the rhythms of nature through hospitality and community are ‘lived out’ in many cultures, including the Celtic approach to Christianity. Relational hospitality has a welcoming radiance that can strengthen the weary. It is a type of spirituality that is less about belief, and more about the wisdom of timing…
One morning I decided I would take my breakfast down to the garden summerhouse. It was warm and sunny after a long period of cloud and rain in a summer on the British Isles. I opened the double doors and hooked them back, noticing how cobwebs had accumulated again after my previous thorough clean of…
I love diversity. Difference inspires meetings. I am filled with awe at how every human being has unique facial features and fingerprints and voice and values.

In 8/36 I described how planning my suicide at the age of 13 had been interrupted by an orange glowing light suddenly shining out through everything around me, my hands included. This experience had convinced me there was something worth living for, but that such beauty as this must be screened out most of the…
Here is the thirteenth account in my series of experiences that do not fit with the spacetime model of materialistic science. Thirteen is NOT unlucky! It is sometimes called ‘the angel number’, signifying a time of change and spiritual growth empowered by relatedness. This account tells two stories of the power of remotely spoken words. It is a prelude in light to the other accounts that will follow.
My wife Marian and I have just returned from an awesome holiday in Norway. The glacier walk was demanding but exhilarating. The more strikingly memorable scene that returns repeatedly to my mind, however, is of utter peace and stillness. It settles my heart as I recall that side valley of Sognefjord where we stayed for…
I was taken hold of one day by a nostalgic memory of a week’s rest near the far end of Loch Alsh, a peaceful, tidal sea inlet close by the Isle of Skye in Scotland. A rowing boat came with the cottage. The tidal rhythm of high to low over six hours and twelve and…
