==== AN OPEN LETTER ====
I am at a loss for words…
Well I was, but I have subjected myself to intense pyschotherapy since receiving your letters beginning in 2008. Feeling somewhat repaired I now seem to have enough vocabulary restored to respond to your most recent correspondence.
This is the second debarcle I have had with you [...]

I met a ’stranger’ at a pub the other day. I was out walking and he, copious amounts of ‘claret’ running down the left hand side of his face, was evidently on bicycle transport. He had had quite a bingle and re-configured his left cheek quite substantially… I was quite concerned but he wasn’t [...]

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 [...]

Had a haircut today. Just what you needed to know hey?
Was looking a little like the ‘wild man from Borneo’. And regularly getting up and thinking ‘ooh… bad hair morning’… Of more concern was that one morning my Uncle Eric might not recognise me and call the police, or something worse…
It was lovely day in [...]

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 [...]

Having only recently entered the world of in-car GPS navigation I have to say I’m reasonably impressed… and on a number of levels.
Firstly, having been the ‘uber-geek‘ in the past (and modest too…), I’m pleased that on this occasion that I haven’t had to contribute much to research and development in this particular area. You [...]

In loving memory, for Tony… from his service…
Leonard Cohen songs…
Sisters of Mercy
lyrics and an amazing number of covers…
Hey, That’s No Way To Say Goodbye
lyrics and, again, some nice covers…
Viva la Jersey! Viva la Holland!

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 [...]
