Welcome

Come and dive into a sea of words with me

I have this yearning to write. This longing to express myself. I have an inner critic that is loud and until now has got the better of my efforts to share. The resistance to writing is strong, and yet, I feel so full with words and thoughts and feeling that not sharing them, not giving voice to what feels invisible and fermenting inside, is becoming too uncomfortable.

I’ve reached the tipping point at which it is more unbearable not to write, than to take a small baby step into the sea of words. Not just write, I do that already, but sharing what I write is the edge, the scary bit. So, this is what I’m doing, I’m taking a first step into this voyage of discovery that is putting fingers to keyboard and messy thoughts into structured sentences and clicking the big, bad ‘share’ button, and seeing where it takes me.

What I have to write about relates to my experience of life, exploring themes that capture my imagination and have me wrestling with them at all hours of the day and night, writing them down might help me to make sense of them, and perhaps there will be some resonance with you who are reading. Perhaps this is an attempt at connection.

These themes centre around relationship and relating with life, broadly speaking, and more specifically, exploring what it means to be alive, at this time, to be in this body, what it means to relate with plants, with other people, with God, with death, with power, with money, with sex, you know, all the deep, juicy topics. I will attempt to do this with integrity, vulnerability and a good dose of humour. Consider this an invitation to step aboard as we set sail into unknown waters together.
