COVID 19: time to listen to our fear

Posted on 29 March 202010 August 2026 by Sande Ramage

Kali the Labrador, my closest living being, is in COVID19 lockdown with me. She’s the leader here because, like her wolf ancestors, she lives out of instinct, attuned to unseen forces and energies. But if I pay attention, she gives…

Marianne & Leonard: reflecting our vulnerable ignorance

Posted on 14 October 201910 August 2026 by Sande Ramage
