Welcome to Journeys of heart and mind (JHM)

Holly Blue butterfly on bay flowers

Journeys of Heart and Mind is a personal website of reflections on life, faith, people, places, and the world around us. Come with me as I notice, question, and respond to what I see – in church, in travel, in history, in photography, and in the news.

Life is complex

Holly Blue butterfly on bay flowers

This Holly Blue butterfly is feeding on the flowers of a bay tree, sucking nectar and helping with pollination. Human lives are complex too; we are part of a network of family, friends, and colleagues. We interact, encourage, frustrate, love, irritate and surprise one another and the posts here reflect that.

There are short articles on church, travel, photography, news, history and more. Browse, follow a trail of links, leave a comment, and perhaps carry away something worth pondering.

Four last points: the recent posts are listed in the sidebar (newest at the top), there’s a detailed index at the top of every page, everything here is copyright but free to re-use (full details), and a coffee is always welcome and encourages me to write more often!
