ShoutOut: “Beneath The Langley Cross” by Andrew James Murray

laura bruno lilly — Mon, 19 May 2025 13:58:37 +0000

What kept my attention? The stories told that are held within its pages. This is well-written (edited interview transcriptions), well-curated and covers a lot of ground. Spanning the years from 1954-present, it is easily understood in that the overarching story is told by those still living it. Additionally, as a non-Brit, I was able to […]

And what should appear in my email but a notice from a certain Manc Bud Poet that he’d filmed a snippet of a song I love during a concert he attended just Friday night. He wanted me to know that the vid was too large to send so – get this – he decided to […]

Betwixt & Between my Purple Patch Flights of Fancy

It’s been awhile since I last posted. I have noticed many of the bloggers/musicians/writers/quilters/artists/poets/photographers/aka-everyday people I follow are also more silent than active on their website/blogs these days. So, I’m in good company. ? I like how those same blog-buds just post something – whenever – without apologizing for not having posted for a good […]

“I don’t know about you guys, but I could do with getting lost in trivialities. Making small talk with strangers, while waiting for my coffee to be made, about inconsequential things. Nothing of importance that mean everything.” Andy Murray As mentioned in Pandemic Potpourri #1 herein I will blog, and commenters can comment, without feeling […]

Giving Voice: Shelter

Shelter. That’s maybe all man has ever wanted. Shelter; warmth; food. from: Andrew James Murray Lately the term, “desperately displaced” has been bandied about. As if living ‘between homes – displaced’ is not desperate in and of itself… Giving Voice to those seeking safe places to live and hunker down; where surviving IS thriving. […]

Good poetry meets you wherever you are then draws you into its world. Seamlessly weaving place, perception; revelation, inspiration. Touching both the mind and soul. The poetry of Andrew James Murray does just that and his second published poetry collection, In Brigantia does not disappoint. ~~~ I prefer reading poetry in the deep of night, […]

Andy's Insights from a Parisian

laura bruno lilly — Tue, 16 Apr 2019 23:37:37 +0000

Reprinted here from Andy’s blog: After Speaking With A Parisian Surviving Revolutions and World Wars, Notre Dame’s spire has long been a familiar sight to generations of Parisians, puncturing the capital’s skyline for over 800 years. Back in the 1500s, the culture that we had built in the West embraced multigenerational projects quite easily. Notre Dame. Massive […]

longest night, Reflections during

laura bruno lilly — Sat, 22 Dec 2018 02:09:58 +0000

Winter Solstice: a day with the least amount of sunshine potential; the shortest day and longest night; a time of reversals. To me, the Winter Solstice feels more like the ending of the past year with the dawning of the true ‘new year.’ An organic New Year’s Eve, so to speak. What better time to […]
