SwirlingFire: Reality versus Fantasy
Reading Time: 4 minutes
Reality versus Fantasy My reality is not your truth – it does not mean I’m a liar. My memory recall is poor, not my ability to know the genuine, accurate real “right” from manipulated, twisted, abusive “wrong”.

Top 5 Posts Here are the most clicked on blogs during 2020. Four posts are my personal experiences, except for one – ‘Canary in a Coalmine’ was a massive turning point of support for those that read and recognise the subtle nuances of life experiences many of us never talk about.

SwirlingFire: Canary In A Coalmine
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Canary In A Coalmine “I will die without you”, he wailed, as the snot bubbles muffled his tears of well rehearsed anguish. Daily use of five fingered ferns could not subdue his rage, it masked that he had, unsurprisingly skipped his anti-psychosis meds. “ I won’t survive without you”, he snivelled. Threatening to kill himself, […]

Mental Bondage First text and last text of each day. Doesn’t sound like a big task. It wasn’t. It was so easy to trap my mind into a continuous loop to revolve around him, his needs and wants, I was excluded. First text and last text were often ignored, usually because I could see his […]

SwirlingFire: Blame, Shame – Defame
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Blame, Shame – Defame Hours pass by like a decomposing carcass. Entrails ooze as the stench of death hangs over us. Heat seeking destroyers of those still breathing. Carrion Crows in a city that continues to collapse, Whilst incoming circling vultures pick over the remaining pulsating parts. Overweight bluebottles, all spittle and froth deposit their […]
SwirlingFire: 365 x2
Reading Time: 3 minutes
365 x2 Two years – no direct contact. I’ve become so attuned to “walking on eggshells” that my regular daily phrasing and pausing before responding has become very measured and calm. My brain swirls whilst calculating perceived levels of threat. I try to not react to information. Recently I’ve chosen to mute/unfollow angry, violent, judgemental, […]

SwirlingFire: Stair Gazing
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Stair Gazing I’ve been thinking about how transient mortality is to other people during LockdownUk CoVid19 pandemic and how the selfish need to be outdoors is at the expense of others. It also made me reflect at finding my father, dead, eyes still open – sat on the bottom few stairs. I’ve always and, probably […]
SwirlingFire: A Pocketful of Changes
Reading Time: 3 minutes
A Pocketful of Changes Snakes wearing dresses with too many pockets; concealing their weapons hidden from sight. florals and stripes with pretty bows flowing; eager to please before claws start to swipe.

Denial or Subjective Reality
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Denial of Self Sometimes when I look back it can make me feel like I’ve been Peter denying Christ after the Last Supper and a lot more than three times. The parallel that I’d forgotten was that after the third denial the cock crowed and it reminded Peter that Jesus had said Peter would […]
Discovering Curves
