This is a place to share thoughts, ideas and things I have noticed along the way.
They may come from service, life, walks with Barney, memories with Bert, writing, or simply a conversation over coffee.
Pull up a seat, grab a brew, take a moment to pause, and let’s notice what is here together.

Welcome to Letters From The Potting Shed.
Run the Mile You’re In
A half marathon is a long way to run, particularly when your legs begin filing formal complaints somewhere around the later kilometres.
This month’s letter is about preparation, patience, trusting the work already done, and learning not to run somebody else’s race.
It’s also about discovering that big distances become more manageable when you stop carrying the whole journey at once.
One step. One kilometre. One theatrical post-race walk at a time.
The Sound of Silence
Perhaps silence is not the absence of sound. Perhaps it is the absence of unnecessary noise.
A Camper, a Coffee, a Moment and a Dog
Camper-based reflections on slowing down, noticing the moment and finding that what we have may already be enough
Shelves, Seeds and Quiet Listeners
We don’t always see growth until we take a moment to notice what has been quietly happening behind the scenes.
