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.

Two personal encounters with junk technology, the first with ParkingContinue reading “Junk Technology and Human Degradation”
How Eric (Qhrtudrimstfg) became the Dream Catcher Dragon
Following on from Persistent Childhood Nightmares – the story of Eric the Dream Catcher Dragon, I wrote the following primarily for me, or at least, for the child in me. I had an idea for an adult fantasy adventure book which became something else. They say that everyone has a book inside them, which mayContinue reading “How Eric (Qhrtudrimstfg) became the Dream Catcher Dragon”
Persistent childhood nightmares
Some thirty odd years ago I wrote a story in response to children’s persistent nightmares. I could not accept that there was nothing we adults could do to help, it’s a kind of psychological warfare and I came up with a story that, with the help of parents, would magically appear, in a ribbon tiedContinue reading “Persistent childhood nightmares”
The Holy Spirit (Her, Him, Wild Goose, as it suits you)
Those of you who are intimate with the Holy Spirit might scratch your heads when I say I cannot remember my first encounter with His awesome presence, it was too long ago, too much has happened since and my brain is too aged and addled to retain such information and nor does it remotely matter.Continue reading “The Holy Spirit (Her, Him, Wild Goose, as it suits you)”
