The systems of life on this planet are dying.

Last Friday I hosted a storytelling evening. I have to say, it went rather well! We used my friend Jesse’s apartment in Trinity College (she is a scholar). It was very kind of her to let us use it, considering she wasn’t even present herself! She had realised she had a ball to go toContinueContinue reading “Storytelling evening”

I am noticing subtle changes in myself… I hope I am undergoing a transformation. Let’s note things down and keep track, to see if that’s the case! I am not listening to so much music and find myself more present. I am reading my book on public transport. I am introducing, gradually, intermittent fasting/ time-windowContinueContinue reading “How I am changing (Part 1)”

There are a lot of unusual events occuring on the planet today.

Some, but not all of these unusual events have been linked to climate change.ContinueContinue reading “Why we shouldn’t hesitate to blame Climate Change”

There is a realisation I am coming across that is: we already know how to live. Planning is not productive. We ourselves, subconsiously know what we want, how we want to be, what we deeply desire and how to get there. Just as we subconsciously beat our own heart and grow our own livers, weContinueContinue reading “How to really improve yourself: Get a broom and sweep away the bullshit.”

At the ripe age of 17 I was approached by an enthusiastic bunch of college students. They persuaded me to take the ferry with them over to the UK, to take part in a week-long hippy camp. I still remember the thrill of sitting around the blazing campfire with one of my first-ever beers inContinueContinue reading “My chosen response to the mess we’re in”

Hello good (and few) people who read my blog! I have just returned from a spontaneous get-away to co. Fermanagh. I spent the last few days between arduous manual labour, meditation and lovely food & company. Oh, and well, the whole buzz of adventure! Took it in my stride though, as I do. Drifting around,ContinueContinue reading “First Adventure of the Year: Hare Krsnas in Fermanagh!”
