Letting Nature Show You
Just like you fall in love with a single person to discover the universal feeling of love, you fall in love with one detail of the world; a robin, a daisy, a chesnut… to open up to love and admiration of this this mysterious, beautiful world. In fact it doesn’t start with a robin, aContinueContinue reading “Letting Nature Show You”
Walking around the Zoo (Lyrics)
Walking around the zoo saw a sight I knew…
Where is the mind
Trippy idea…
3AM Thoughts
More trippy thoughts…
You are everyone
Yet more trippy thoughts…!
Real solutions for the ecological crisis
The systems of life on this planet are dying.
The word injustice left unsaid
Feathers screeching for lonely eggs
Trees fall, the eggs are cold.

Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable
My entry into flash fiction contest with the theme ‘Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable’.
Storytelling evening
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”
How I am changing (Part 1)
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)”
Why we shouldn’t hesitate to blame Climate Change
There are a lot of unusual events occuring on the planet today. Storms of locusts (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/10/food-fears-grow-as-swarms-of-locusts-reach-uganda-and-tanzania) Sharp decline in Penguin numbers (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/feb/10/overwhelming-and-terrifying-impact-of-climate-crisis-on-mental-health) Coronavirus & other epidemics (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/02/dangerous-coronavirus-200205205234883.html) Australia Fires (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-50951043) Intense cyclones in Pacific Islands (https://www.theguardian.com/world/commentisfree/2020/feb/11/i-have-witnessed-the-horrors-of-climate-change-in-the-pacific-australia-it-is-time-for-action) These are just a sampling. 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”
How to really improve yourself: Get a broom and sweep away the bullshit.
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.”
My chosen response to the mess we’re in
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”
