And so, last Sunday, another music legend passed away, the incomparable Mr. Lou Reed.  And despite the fact that I’d never met the man or even seen him perform live, his death shook me to my core.  I’d been quite a fan of Mr. Reed and had spent many moments of my life with his ...

For those of you who know me well, you’ll know that I have a slight obsession with the El Camino de Santiago and walking in general.  So it will come as no surprise that I jumped for joy when I received an email from a fellow peregrino that I met on my recent Camino today. ...

So here I sit, on this rainy Sunday morning, it’s been just over a week since my return from the El Camino de Santiago.  And yet, it feels as if I returned three years ago, so much has happened.  I usually try to fit in a half hour nap during my day but unfortunately, I ...

Having grown up in the wake of the Cold War, the Reagan-Qaddafi nuclear stand off and the very first mention of climate change, I had always been afraid of the end of the world.  I even went so far as to write an article for our school newspaper about my opposition to nuclear war.  And it ...

I was brought up along the lines of cleanliness being next to godliness, so cleaning up and removing some of the never ending clutter I’m surrounded with always lifts my spirits. But this spring-cleaning was like no other ...

Today I went to my chiropractor. I do this quite often and I enjoy it very much. It was crowded as The Man will be out of town for a week. So I decided to wait outside. There was an unbelievably nice free offer of vitamin D as Sun had a lecture in what it ...

This is a day when I will loudly say it’s pretty excellent and awesome to be. To be alive and to watch and hear the world with own body. The opportunity to work with/as Druyd is a situation constantly on the move. You get a lot out of it, and you always need to keep ...

I just finished reading “The Little Prince” to my kiddies.  It’s my absolute favourite book in the world and is the first book I ever read to them when they were born.  And every time I read it, I’m always struck with the poignant themes in the book.  But with my recent read, the love ...
