The Coronavirus restrictions and the media storms that have accompanied them have coerced us to all become more like islands, but ‘we are involved in humanity’… Like many I guess, my mind has found itself not in a great place recently (relatively). Struggles with our responsibilities, worries for our kids, relationship insecurities, finance struggles… The […]
When the sun’s out, we can be content with the things we recognise; the patterns, habits, and narratives or stories that give meaning to stuff.

Amongst the raw anguish and alarm, Spring is here. It’s impossible to say anything that makes much sense of current events.We hear again this week of friends that have passed away. We hear this week of friends in desperate fear. We hear of all kinds of injustice and raw dejection. But, away from the noise, […]

As the season of maniacal merriment mechanically approaches… breathe. I am torn between contemplation and mere acceptance. Alas, it’s my nature to question and cogitate while the rest of the world seems to just get on with stuff. Outside the window, there was no music… As winter bites, sometimes it feels (and feeling is […]
