About this blog

The name of this blog is small alley. As in an alley, I hope to post a variety of things that I find interesting and as you walk through the alley, you would find things that you like.

I have posted some songs that I wrote. I am not a great singer. I sing and play the guitar purely for fun and I hope people who thinks they can't sing can be inspired by me. No former singing lessons and no former guitar training. Just pure fun......

The recording is also done at home with a drum machine and one guitar through a small amp. The sound file has been touched up slightly by removing the noise. Otherwise the songs are as original as it gets.

I practise Taiji regularly. For me, it is a great exercise requiring control of mind and body to perform well and for it to be enjoyable. You can get more videos of Taiji from YouTube.

Other posts include places and events that I think are interesting and more important, which I have time to upload.

Enjoy your walk through this small alley.....

Communion In God; A Trinitarian Reflection On Divine

My New Book, "Communion in God"

The Holy Trinity is often treated as a puzzle to be solved or a doctrine to be mastered. But what if the Trinity isn't a concept to understand, but a reality to participate in?

I am happy to share my new book, "Communion in God: A Trinitarian Reflection on Divine." This work was written for those who sense a gap between the words of the Creed and the reality of their daily lives. It explores the Trinity not as a distant hierarchy, but as a "living communion" and a "movement of love" that already sustains every breath we take.

In this book, we explore:

The Non-Dual Trinity: Moving past "three separate individuals" to see God as the very ground of our being.

Accompaniment over Transaction: Why the Cross is not a legal payment, but God's refusal to let us be alone in our suffering.

Reality as a Pointer: How seeing the world "as it is" reveals the presence of the Father, Son, and Spirit.

It is available for download entirely free of charge. Click this link.

“God is not waiting for your certainty. God is present in your honesty.”

Jingle Bells by Lord Pierpont

 Learning to play this song on the piano with a stride style.  Added a improv part using the blues scale.
