Taken down by technology Finally, a week after my website went down and I lost over two months of work, I’m taking action rather that getting lost in loss and overwhelm, and writing again. Writing helps me to get clarity .. and I felt like I was just starting...
When I first heard the phrase “life is empty and meaningless” it actually gave me hope. It let me out of a lifelong bind where I was forever searching for the meaning of life. Yet despite that flash of clarity, I have continued my search. The number 42...
On the spectrum of risk taking I lean very much toward carefulness. Generally, risks I’ve taken have been considered and calculated. I’ve pushed myself close to the edge many times .. even in life risking ways .. but I’m rarely impetuous. So, in a...
Hello, So much for my questioning whether I could write a daily post. The answer is clearly no, because I need space. My need for space and freedom has driven my whole life, and I’m not going to suddenly impose a public daily discipline on myself. I will...
Hello, I’ve been writing regularly on this blog lately with today being my 7th day in a row. I’ve been wondering whether I should carry on this jaunt of writing every day or whether I should allow my writing to wax and wane. I know periods of silence...

Hello, So, a while back I learnt about a tendency of my personality type (Enneagram type 5) .. it was a sort of joke .. that rather than ‘ready, set, go ..’ instead we get stuck in ‘ready, ready, ready ..’. This analogy described my experience...
Things seems to be speeding up .. but at enough of a rate that I can handle it. I’ve had a strange yet wonderful day. It’s 9.10pm and I haven’t even stopped to have breakfast .. though I stopped and had an apple and some cashews before my aikido...
Hello, Today marks my 46th revolution around the sun. My birthday has always felt quite significant to me. It marked the day the Berlin wall came down just a month after I left Berlin. That was unexpected .. and lovely. But today .. Oh My God .. it marks the day...
Hello, My intention is to paint a bit of a picture of my life’s journey, as I traverse it. I’ve seen my whole life as an exploration toward understanding what life is about and why we are here. And lately I’ve been making some big...
