Do We Need Evil?

February 28, 2023 Geoff Boyce A radical musing

The 7 O’clock News this morning had me jumping straight out of bed and heading to my computer. The Avalon Airshow is on again after Covid. Almost 800 companies are taking part in Avalon 2023, which organisers say will be the biggest in the 30-year history of the event. “This year, there will be 56 …

Compulsion

February 28, 2023 Geoff Boyce A radical musing

So we are in the season of Lent. If Lent is about giving things up (which some people seem to think it is), here is a list I spotted in a friend’s blog that gives me pause for thought! “The compulsive pursuit of perfection becomes impatient with weakness, angry and judgmental. The compulsive pursuit of compassion becomes swamping and …

The Disappeared

February 22, 2023 Geoff Boyce Thought provoker

I came across this video of U2’s ‘I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For’ on YouTube and was immediately impressed, not only by the quality of the music and the way ‘Playing for Change’ champions inclusivity across the world, but the way they have linked their production to the International Day of the Disappeared …

SCRIPT

February 12, 2023 Geoff Boyce Announcement

Newly elected Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim, has proposed what I think is a refreshing proposition to empower positive political change. Refreshing, considering the history of recent governance by the Morrisons, Trumps and Borises of this world. Years of imprisonment on trumped up charges to keep him out of politics have enabled him to …

Telling the Story

January 22, 2023 Geoff Boyce Announcement

Story-telling is an ancient tradition that has always been used to illustrate spiritual lessons and promote faith. It helps us better understand our lives, particularly at an emotional level, as well as provide a shared experience for any group. Stories help us explore moral lessons, discuss difficult topics, and foster empathy. Stories are not mere …

Revisionism

January 21, 2023 Geoff Boyce A radical musing

Martin Luther King Day is observed in the United States of America on the third Monday of January each year. This year it fell on January 16. It is a day set aside to remember the life and legacy of one of America’s greatest moral heroes. For those of us who lived through those times …

Ideologism

January 12, 2023 Geoff Boyce A radical musing

Let’s go to Brazil and sit back to enjoy the brilliance of Playing for Change musicians – in this case, featuring Carlos Santana. The piece is “Oye cómo va”. It was written and recorded by Tito Puente and his orchestra in 1962. The name of the song is taken from its refrain: “Oye cómo va, …

Irony Season

December 25, 2022 Geoff Boyce A radical musing

Christmas is the ultimate irony, isn’t it? Christmas – the birthday of Christian history, two thousand years ago. And that world was so full of horror. An occupied country…a king so desperate to hold on to his crown that he ordered the slaughter of all male babies on the strength of the rumour that a …

Retrospective

December 8, 2022 Geoff Boyce The Listening Table

Two professional artists turned up to ‘The Listening Table’ this week. As you might expect, all of us were interested in their work. They themselves would be happy to talk (if they had photos of their work with them) and we would all like to listen (and learn). So next week we decided to deviate …
