A small matter of friendship

This global pandemic has wreaked havoc with friendships. I’ve come to truly understand just how fundamental friendships are. Friendships transport us to other times and different selves, they nourish the soul and the best ones challenge us, spurring us on to become more ‘ourselves’. Friendships are the golden threads that…

Summer of Rave

Let the people dance For as long as I can remember I have loved to dance. Not in any formal way but that feeling you get from dancing your heart out at the front of a rave is part of me. A feeling of freedom, living from moment to moment, held by the music…

Touch, screen, and the power of good vibrations

Is Internet Connection All We Have Now?

Like many people, I am currently thinking about human connection. About what ‘together’ really means, and how to make more of what we have. Time means something new, I have both much less and a lot more. But the quality is different. With small beings swinging from my elbows from…
