The Spilling Of Colours

You spill yourself in red, blue, green, white, silver, forgetting which colour is your own.

They're all your own. You're not losing yourself. You're finding yourself in others.

The Tired Ramblings

Okay so you’re out the gates and in the race and you get an education and a job and a wife and a kid and you drink and you eat and you make love when you can sometimes more than you can and you consume things like your lover and a cigarette and a drink and a bite to eat before you go to sleep and then wake up and do it again because you can and you will and that’s what’s expected of you just like they expected it of your father and his father before him and one day they’ll expect it from your kids too and then their kids will follow your over trodden footsteps into the office and get a cup of coffee and talk by the water cooler about what movies they saw last night.

You need to slow down. There is more than this.

The Time You Forgot To Breathe

Don't swim too near the surface. The sun will burn your skin.

Don't swim too near the floor. The cold will cool your heart.

Float in the middle and you will be fine.

The Grasping of Hands

We can't see it from where we are. But from above, you and I are the same.

The Stories You Tell

Life is not a story. No matter how much you'd like it to be.

Life is life. It can end, begin and become whatever you want it to be.

Nothing is written down.

The Double Knot

You could be right. You could be wrong. Remember this. Especially the second part. Being wrong allows you to take responsibility for your actions. It allows you to change. Constantly needing to be right, doesn’t.

The Space Between Changes


Thank you. Thank you to the 1000+ of you that come here once a week. Thank you for your comments. Thank you for reading. It's all just symbols on a computer screen until someone else reads it. Thank you for that.

I'd also like to thank one of you in particular. You know who you are. You're the only one who really gets it. And you know it inside.

The old year is dead. The new year is alive and well. You know what to do next.
