Naomi and I have experienced the great pleasure of each other's company for many years. Each of us has borne witness to the evolution of the other, marked by a shared deep sense of potential greater than any fear; and a willingness to simply invite and allow that which presents.... and trusting it to lead. In a rare moment, indeed, we recently got to ... Continue Reading >>

Eaney… Meaney… Mieney… Mortality
These are interesting times! Without precedent and the accompanying pre-packaged, well-practised, habituated responses, we are faced with mindfully choosing the behaviours which we think will best serve our interests and those of others we care about. In truth, we are now in a time when those ‘others’ must include any and all with whom we may come in ... Continue Reading >>
Yuval Noah Harari: We become what we think about
No matter what the moment presents, we are faced with deciding how it's going to go.

And remember: anything that we have created was first a thought in someone's ... Continue Reading >>
COVID-19: Bottom Line
The Long and Short of it All
As a child, I may well have been described as ‘precocious’ and ’strong willed’. Never one to agree to anything just to appease, or to embrace pretence for peace over discovery (despite the likely chaos to follow) I was also considered by some to be ‘difficult’ (translation: a pain in the ass!).

Pandemic
It's been lingering in the background for some time. In the last few days, its vibration has amped up significantly as Mexico and other countries 'brace for impact' of what many have long intended and been waiting for. It would be easy to tell a long story about this; to spend time and typing and 'pages' in proffering a perspective that would encompass ... Continue Reading >>
