THE WORD


LET IT SHINE

From small things, larger things evolve. The first word becomes a poem. A single song becomes a whole album. A little story becomes a book. A dream becomes a reality. A smouldering ash becomes a flame. A lantern overcomes the darkness. The first time behind the microphone becomes a second and a third and confidence is born.

This is the season. This is December, where the first day merges into the second until we arrive in a brand new year. Good things abound this month and in January too.

All the best live microphone events continue at NgAng’s Gallery, The Mussel Inn and the Dangerous Kitchen. Details on the following pages. Love to see you at one of these fantastic  ‘evolving’ opportunities.

Let you light shine
Have a great Christmas and New Year

lowly

 

a rough road
a narrow way
a faint light
flickering
in a country barn
like that bush
burning
but not consumed
by the wilderness;
draw aside
to see this thing
of which
the angels sing
