The View from the Treehouse
The 26th April, 2024 wasn’t the first time Asher had instructed me to feel into his heart. He would never have said it in our face-to-face conversations. They didn’t go that way at all. This, though, was a different way…
More Minds Join Us
Perhaps you have had some interesting psychic connections with others. There are more of us than you might think. “As you share our story, others like you will acknowledge the wisdom and knowing they have seen in children or…
Why 3D Living is No Longer Enough
I really shouldn’t be surprised that Asher can pull this off. He proved to me when he was a very small child that he could act the part of a polite, well-behaved and hard-working pupil in my class, whilst secretly…
The Man with Blue Eyes who had once read a book
It was his eyes I noticed first, the clear, stunning blueness and openness of them. He was youngish, twenties or thirties, and quite alone. His complexion told me he lived a life outdoors, in nature. A traveller, perhaps. Our town…
Another Glitch in the Newsletter Saga
Let’s start with this: I did not write A Mind Beyond Words to get rich. I’m nowhere near that stupid or naive. On the other hand, the amount I’m prepared and able to pay to promote it is not a bottomless pit.…

The Wide Web of Communication
By now, just about everyone is familiar with what has been termed the ‘wood-wide web’: Susanne Simard’s stunning discover of the tiny threads of mycelium or mycorrhizal network that lies beneath our feet in a forest, connecting tree roots and…
The Day we made Paper Aeroplanes
It was way back in the 1980s. The National Curriculum (government imposed) was in full swing and they’d started to send out OFSTED inspectors to check that we teachers were dumbing the kids down to a suitable degree — teaching…
A Book Signing: Crazy or What?
When an event organiser offered me a book signing, I’d have been crazy to refuse, wouldn’t I? She told me she had a table available and would promote it on Facebook and in her shop. I’ve done several book sales…

I’d been wondering recently. I’d acted in good faith. As a teacher of small children with speech and language difficulties, it never crossed my mind not to try to ‘improve’ their verbal communication skills. I thought it was my job.…
