About

Holding Heaven was inspired by those famous opening words from William Blake’s Auguries of Innocence. It’s a space where I try to reflect on the world as I see it: through creativity, pilgrimage, music, poetry, prose, prayer and just a little procrastination.

Yes. 😁

We must expose the lie of the beautiful notebook. You will not write well in the beautiful £9 notebook. The beautiful notebook will betray you. Sing instead the humble spiral-bound reporter's lined notebook (85p) which will in fact liberate you and turn out your best writing

Come to church. It’s cool!❄️

A reminder that if you're looking for somewhere cool to be during this hot weather, any old stone church or cathedral is basically a natural refrigerator.

Once you’ve sung in a choir, or played in a band or orchestra, or played in any music ensemble, you’re never the same again. Your ears, your eyes, and your heart are opened up in ways not possible by any other means. Music feeds us, it nourishes us, and it brings us great joy.

Something that's come across from these Jubilee celebrations is how we're being psychologically prepared, as a nation, for what must inevitably happen in the next few years: that Paddington Bear will be the next Bond
