What I’ve Read
If Our priority is protecting children nudity in changerooms is not what we should be afraid of by Van Badham (Guardian Australia) A surf club banned nudity in their changerooms. Van Badham argues it’s impossible to change from one set of clothes to another without some transitional nudity. There’s some wonderful writing in this opinion piece, such as this: if a changeroom appears in a forest but prohibits anyone from changing in it, isn’t it just a shed? Apart from the cutting wit, there are some useful facts, and some serious social commentary in this.
The Fearsome Flush: When Chipotle Triggers Armageddon short story by Anthony Robert (Tony’s Bologna) A funny story about a heroic plumber out to save the world from the Fearsome Flush.
On a Beach in Astronomical Twilight poem by M. Espinosa (M. Espinosa) A poem full of wonder about the distance light travels from stars to our eyes.
Butterflies Dreams poem by T. Maxwell-Harrison (Psychedelic Wizard) A beautiful descriptive sonnet, celebrating Easter.
Sea Canaries poem by Grace Y. Estevez-Reddy (Grace of the Sun) This is a lovely poem about a beluga whale.
If I read it and I like it, or find it interesting, it goes in here. I try to only include one item from any single author in a week (even if I loved a number of things they published), because otherwise the list would get over-long.
I don’t do paid reviews, but I do accept recommendations, and even review copies of books, so if you’d particularly like me to review something, tell me about it.
A Look at a Book
Since it’s the Easter weekend, let’s look at something from my former life.
Beside Still Waters
A book of sermons and brief reflections on Christian Scripture, by Rev Iris Carden. There is no specific order to the items in the book, they are intended to each be a “surprise” in that they are not related to the items around them. It is hoped that in each, the reader will find something new or special, or unexpected, a message from God. Rev Iris Carden has a Master’s Degree in Theology and more than 10 years of experience as a Christian minister.
