Green Patches

Slow, slow...Reprise of the 'D' Word

"God is the lead dancer and the soul is the partner completely attuned to the rhythm and patterns set by the partner. she does not lead, but neither does she hang limp like a sack of potatoes." (Thomas Merton, quoted in Listening to the Music of the Spirit: The Art of Discernment, by David Lonsdale: Notre Dame, IN: Ave Maria Press, 1992)

 

For all those readers, who, according to stats are reaching 'Greenpatches' via a search for 'Ballroom Dancing,' I thought it about time to revisit  an old post: 'Listening to the Music of the Spirit: The Dreaded 'D' Word.'    Now with fresh clips. Enjoy.

Gardening tips - part 2

I suspect that playing the stats game would not be considered a suitable occcupation for a Franciscan. Still, it's fascinating to see which search terms land folk on this blog.  'Gardening'  has  attracted quite a few hits. Poor things;if they were expecting Alan Titchmarsh   they must have been sorely disappointed!

Singing, stats and tacks

I've discovered yet  another procrastination tool over on my other, Wordpress blog. The best part of the  new wibsite stats package as far as I'm concerned is the listing of the most popular search terms used by visitors. As I've said here  I seem to be the blog of the week with the cycling fraternity, judging by the number of folk who've discovered me via searches for the Etape Caledonia of tacks on the road fame.  Poor things, they must have been sorely disappointed to encounter my muddled musings. Still, now I've discovered the secret,there'll be no stopping me.

Unfortunately, my attempts to spread a little culture  round the blogosphere appears to have fallen on deaf ears. Maybe if I'd learnt to sing 'Daisy, Daisy' instead of Purcell it'd be another story.
