This is a recent project which I fiercely protect from the curse of money and marketing.

Imagine if someone asked you if you sell your art and if so how much you charge. Now imagine the response, ‘no I do not sell my art work, I give it away (I gift it) simply for pleasure’. So far 74 people have given my little dioramas loving homes and what I am doingContinue reading “This is a recent project which I fiercely protect from the curse of money and marketing.”

Economic slavery

Ordinary people always pay – income tax, rates, fines, duties and VAT, council tax, road tax, death duty/inheritance tax, national insurance, stamp duties, government sanctions, inflation, parking fees and fines, clean air tax, congestion charges, import duties, late payment fines, interest rates, water rates, minimum wage (less than we need to actually live on, forContinue reading “Economic slavery”

Being human and being

There are two fundamental aspects to being human, our physical being and our psychological being. Our physical being is driven by necessity, the necessities of life, at every level. Our inner being is driven by our sense (great or small) of quality of life. I am going to pick on and make an example ofContinue reading “Being human and being”

An appeal for help – Mike’s story, told by his dad.

I’m going to try and keep this as relevant to the appeal as possible but there is a story to be told here so no matter how much I try to do that, it’s going to be long but the hope is, by the time you’ve read it, you too will understand why it’s soContinue reading “An appeal for help – Mike’s story, told by his dad.”

Quietly losing my mind

Whilst I point the finger at Chemotherapy for rendering me out of my mind for some time, that is not at all the same as the erosion and steady loss of cognitive ability that I am now experiencing, though it does have the same genesis. On my final interview with the doctor in charge ofContinue reading “Quietly losing my mind”

The secret wellness of mental illness in the modern world

A recent article “A mad world: capitalism and the rise of mental illness” looks at the rise of mental illness in a sick world, something which has been a dominant focus of my attention for many years. The article also asks, “Many people believe, and are encouraged to believe, that these problems and disorders –Continue reading “The secret wellness of mental illness in the modern world”

A Vagabond Life

I’ve recently discovered something that has defined my entire existence from a very young age, I’m a vagabond, a natural hobo. Nothing excites me more than psychologically and emotionally backpacking through life never knowing what’s round the next corner or over the next hill. But it goes a whole lot deeper than that. It’s notContinue reading “A Vagabond Life”

Washing the brain washing

It’s a long and drawn out process… I was born not knowing that the universe had given me the free gift of life, my parents hadn’t realised this either, or, if they had, they never thought to mention it to me. Nor did I, or they, realise that we are born onto this abundant Earth,Continue reading “Washing the brain washing”

Learning to live Intuitively – for life

My world is changing, the more as I come to terms with our individual realities. We each live in a separate world dictated by our own unique experiences of life, both subjective and objective. I am, due to forces and circumstances beyond my control, learning to reassess my reality, which is an entirely good thing,Continue reading “Learning to live Intuitively – for life”
