A little update… 3 years on
It’s been 2 months since I landed back in Costa Rica this year (after a few months in Canada), and 3 years since I first visited the country (from London). What was meant to be a 3-week holiday back then morphed into a major life adventure, when the pandemic sent the world into mayhem, bordersContinue reading “A little update… 3 years on”
Blood Stains on Paradise Shores
Oh how it pains me to see these marks; like the ocean, is bleeding… Signs of the red tide, the toxic algal bloom that’s being worsened in frequency and intensity, by human pollution.

Back to Basics
You cannot imagine how happy I am right now. I have just done my first load of laundry at my new home: the first home I’ve rented in Costa Rica with a washing machine. I cannot describe to you how good it felt to hang up those fresh clean clothes on my balcony. They’re probablyContinue reading “Back to Basics”
Earth warrior
Through the mist of the dawn I hear your song Guiding me with your calling strong; Whispered on the breeze spurring me on To be the warrior to right these wrongs Though my body is weak and though my heart sighs You command me to wake you command me to rise I was born toContinue reading “Earth warrior”
The Vortex
Emerald calling upon my Calypso blood is draining, pulling me to the black centre of the Earth’s dying core But though I’ve stumbled I will rise with the power of the Moon filled with her eternal flame undying lunar fire And so our wounds shall heal as the darkness melts into its shadow dance entwiningContinue reading “The Vortex”
