Awaiting the Eclipse…

As always thank you for your support of my writing: if you enjoy, feel free to share, check out my novel, or myContinue reading “Awaiting the Eclipse…”

Home… Wherever We Go

I nearly didn’t get around to posting this weekend, as the last fortnight has been a blur of struggle and challenge (despite some beautiful highs). Yet, in the midst of much destabilisation and uncertainty, I nevertheless today found a moment of peace and calm, and a surge of energy to write and to share withContinue reading “Home… Wherever We Go”

Timeless… off the Icefields Parkway

Hello dear reader — I am back again after a little break from blogging! I hope this post finds you well, enjoying life, and making the most of all that its journey has to offer… At my end, it has been a busy couple of months touring with music across Western Canada, with my partnerContinue reading “Timeless… off the Icefields Parkway”

The Meaning of Perfection

… is the working title of one of the poetry anthologies I’m aiming to get released later this year. In part, the title reflects my own journey with perfectionism and arriving to the point of “letting go” when it comes to my art. It’s also about the journey of life – finding perfection in eachContinue reading “The Meaning of Perfection”

Bird with a Broken Wing

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”

Snowmelt

I give thanks for the way you melt my ice, when my peaks have frozen, from over exposure, to poisonous echoes from the past… ~ A poem about recovery from trauma. A reminder to all those who have suffered deep pain, that you can be set free from your suffering. May love warm your soul,Continue reading “Snowmelt”

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”

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”
