Just like buses, no blogs for ages, and then three come at once - 
I have awoken this morning to find that revenge on the windowsill. It is not as deep as some parts of the UK, just a dusting at the moment, but it is still snow at Christmas
I wonder what the kids will make of it?
As we went to sleep last night, after a busy Christmas Day, I was watching a repeat of the Celebrity Most Haunted which included Vic Reeves and his wife Nancy Sorrell.It wasn't so much what was in the the program, but the reason for the program in the first place - the search for ghosts.
I sat there wondering why I had become so fascinated by contacting the spirits of the dear departed, why am I astonished by contact with the past.
And you know what, I don't really know.
It is a very good program, very good entertainment - that helps. But there is something else, something more basic, something underlying.
Is it a "wish" (if that's the correct term), a yearning, a hope that there could be something else? The thought that there maybe a way to link to those who have gone, those who I sometimes wish were still here.
It was an odd thought to have, and it disturbs me somewhat. I know in "our" physical world, that if someone has passed on, then that is that. But then you listen to stories of contacts , "meetings", visions and then you start to question your view on what is really real. Is there more to this world than we can ever completly apprecaite.
I'm feeling a little lost, confused at the moment.
This is a very odd thing to "mull over" at Christmas.
Or maybe it isn't that odd at all.
Christmas is one of the major Family occassions of the year, and it is at this time of year that the members of your family who are no longer here are missed the most.
Maybe it's just a wish for something I know I can no longer have, no longer ask for. I know I can't have a heartfelt wish, but it is still a yearning for all that.
