I was just sitting outside admiring ‘mother earth’, soaking up ‘father sun’, and cutting my toe nails - yep, an auspicious start to another blog article :)
Immediate thought was - maybe I should post this over on ‘Buggered if I Know‘ because I can just feel it - it’s ‘gonna’ end up being a bit [...]

Meditate…
with eyes wide open,
of, and in, your own truth.
Be in,
and regularly check,
the validity of,
your own reality.
You are real,
but you are only that,
nothing more, nothing less,
just more or less…
entwined…
inter-connected,
a child of universal success.
You are Loved…
Some say they Love you,
some demonstrate they Love you,
and some simply, actually, Love you…
None of these are the question.
Are you Love?
Learn…
in the [...]

Being amongst the last of a dying breed - a smoker…
I started a little group on Flickr - The Tobacconist - which is gathering a some momentum…
Some of the Tobacconist’s shop-fronts I have seen over the years are the most pleasant, interesting, amusing, or just well presented… and from a photo in the group [...]

You know you are Love.
You awake every day to a little sunshine…
Did you miss it?
Everything is beautiful,
if only you could see,
you have been Loved,
drenched in it…
all encompassing Love,
Did you miss it?
Too bad,
so sad,
you’ll pay the price…
for our own ignorance,
for our outstanding…
greed & stupidity…
but it didn’t have to be that way,
Did you miss it?
Everyday you asked [...]

A ‘revolution’ is loosely defined (skimming over the variety of definitions quoted at Wikipedia) as action(s) which result in socio-political change. Or, less specifically, by Cambridge’s Advanced Learners Dictionary, as “a very important change in the way that people do things”…
An ‘evolution’ is, again loosely, generally agreed to mean change or process, often with an [...]

It’s in the dream you’ll find it,
don’t ask why,
or look to the sky.
Trust…
It’s in the dream you’ll find that place,
that peace,
that ever-lasting solitude,
look,
listen,
learn,
don’t ask why,
let it wash over you…
It will come.
It’s in the paradox you’ll find it,
the twilight,
the grey zone,
between the dream and the reality…
They are same,
really… I ask you to trust…
To look, to listen, [...]

I decided not to do London for New Years eve - don’t think I could cope with the excitement (or the crowds for that matter)… :P
Exploring London requires you become familiar with the Tube. If you’re doing a heavy travel day the easiest way to ticket it is to buy an off-peak ‘travelcard’ which gives [...]

Another thing you should expect to do if you’re visiting London is walk. I always seem to walk miles & miles - which I think is a combination of indecisiveness, wondering what’s round the corner, and fairly frequently getting minorly lost. Second piece of advice therefore is always carry a good map.
You should also try [...]

While you’re in London always take the trouble to take in a West End show. If you line up the theatres/shows your interested in and then hit the box office at each and see what’s going for the evening. I tried We Will Rock You and Mary Poppins with no luck - no seats [...]

Having first visited London over 10 years ago I have to confess I was never really that much of a fan - there’s no doubt it’s exciting to be in London - but when for example you come here for work it’s always a rush and too much time looking at the inside of a [...]
