An Affirmation [24.01.09]

It is a duty to myself to look after myself. I will live at peace always, or seek to obtain peace and freedom from inner conflict. Just as the day goes into hiding at night, I too must retreat to a hideaway from time to time. In order to create, exist and to be a […]

Breadcrumbs

faces wear me out at night when overseas counterparts connect sharing text of thoughts with context lack but the truth is easier to twist with fingers and not faces nerves (like ice) exposed to the sun he didn’t understand the artist’s heart stolen up in misconceptions for one moment to better understand before judgement speaks […]

the late hours

there has always been something grand about the late hours all of us who are still awake, roaming the night sky we all witness the soft calm and silence. distant televisions at low volumes, they could be echoes of the dreamer’s dreams and we get to listen in wide-eyed and calm, i stood naked at […]

Farther than the one coin

The dollar learns it’s value, No longer associated with the cents; Terms coined in common law Rise up to meet your equal The pound deserves a man Not a boy in transition Realises to great parallels Where the banker miscounted Pennies stacked high, Still with potential energy To fall, much farther than the one coin, […]

“It’s hard, but it’s good. And we can.”

5am in London. Can’t sleep. Awoke to find my focus on the ticking clock and variable temperatures of my body in this sleeping bag. Each day has been a time to create new memories for myself, but I’ve had nights in Spain and Berlin where the past has crept back into my thoughts and I’ve […]

Berlin [Intro]

Flight was canceled. But got in via Milan. Hello, Italy! Arrived at Daniela’s place around midnight. Spent the day walking around Alexanderplatz. It was rainy and wet, which wasn’t great. Bought some new socks so I could take my wet ones off. Met up with Andy and drank beer at a football game. He writes […]

Hyde Park Swans & The National @ Brixton Academy

Hyde park yesterday. Watching swans in the icy water and wondering how they don’t get bitter about the cold. Then one waddled up to me and said “it’s all about perception, mate. Warmth is relative”. I took my camera, cigarettes and coffee and slowly back’d away. Fearing the jetlag getting a grip on me and […]

Sneak peek @ ‘Wintersun’ and Bon Voyage arundel.

So for the next few weeks. I’ll make this a travel blog. What a year. Now European winter awaits me. I leave tomorrow and my bags aren’t packed. But they will be. I have books, socks, shirts and pens. Hopefully enough warm things. Found some thick gloves. Hands will thank me. Not too much to […]

Spices and Passion in a loving Brisket

wrapped bullets in feathers [writings]

people said they came here for blood, but i know it was me they were after. pitched high-up in the trees, the gaze of the summernight owls pierced their cotton-cased plight to reveal the real agenda with the year’s teachings learned now as ammunition charged and ready to blow i’ll hold my fire; wait in […]
