June 3, 2015. 8216;Isolation’ – this is the word that an unidentified graffiti artist in my home nation sprayed on all the green telecoms cabinets, some years ago. It is an art project that goes unnoticed and unmentioned, but every time I see it and read it, it resonates deeply with me. It haunts me in some way. Increasingly, I am becoming more and more aware of my own lifetime battle with loneliness. A silent inability to truly connect with the world around me. Loneliness is, to me, one of the biggest p...

June 10, 2015. I am unapologetic utopian. I have complete faith that we can collectively create an incredible world in a relatively short period of time. The truth is – we have to.

These days, I think about change in terms of raising c...

Heart to Heart: August 2015

Inspirational Home and Family Blog. Tuesday, August 18, 2015. Dust If You Must. Dust If You Must. Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better. To paint a picture, or write a letter,. Bake a cake, or plant a seed;. Ponder the difference between want and need? Dust if you must, but there's not much time,. With rivers to swim, and mountains to climb;. Music to hear, and books to read;. Friends to cherish, and life to lead. Dust if you must, but the world's out there. A flutter of snow, a shower of rain,.
