The other day, our dog Sadie caught (and killed) a bird in the garden. Although I felt deeply saddened by the death of the bird, it was of course impossible to be angry at her. A dog’s natural instincts are to hunt and kill for food (as that is how they would survive in theContinue reading “Bird with a Broken Wing”

Springtime Blessings
You light my soul, with a kind of giddy music that picks me up, and tumbles me down, on a bed of starry dreams that fell from the skies, and sprouted into blooming flowers, dressed with honey – those bees couldn’t help themselves, they just joined us with a frivolous desire to make life, thatContinue reading “Springtime Blessings”
Spirit’s Footsteps in the City
It’s strange to return to a big city after so much time living in the wilderness. The other week, I opened up an old box of my things, taking out clothes belonging to a past version of myself, and making me feel somewhat of a ghost in my own skin. Echoes of a former lifeContinue reading “Spirit’s Footsteps in the City”
My novel Siege… now published!
Those fortress walls you built to defend your gold, your riches from your neighbour’s clutches; sturdy stone, would stand many egos, over aeons, and yet, could never protect you from that darkness lurking within your own heart that sickness, breeding from the depths of that very earth you spoilt when you made her a slaveContinue reading “My novel Siege… now published!”

Shamanic Healing… and the Shaman’s Way
I notice more and more these days, my hesitation around the word “shaman”. Even if I myself identify as being on a shamanic path. Perhaps it is because of how much I have seen this label misused; and with kind of an underlying arrogant assertion as to an individual’s power and mastery of connection toContinue reading “Shamanic Healing… and the Shaman’s Way”
The Alchemist Returns
It’s been three weeks since my accident in the river by my home, when the current dragged me underwater and through a rock tunnel, and I escaped by what seemed to be a miracle… It felt like I went through a portal. Literally and metaphorically. A disintegration and reintegration of my body, my being, myContinue reading “The Alchemist Returns”
When Everything Crumbles…
… To come back together again more perfectly. The other morning I was sitting on my balcony, sharing a smoke of tobacco with my partner. Tobacco gifted to me from the Ngobe Indigenous, in southern Costa Rica. Tobacco that has been used by many indigenous peoples in sacred tradition and ceremony, long before this plantContinue reading “When Everything Crumbles…”
