I tap a few words into my phone and send them off. It’s nothing much, just a little appreciation. I thank him for being there and for listening. It calms the storm in my chest a little.. 2:43am wide awake. Work is at the height of insanity right now. It’s high season, things are not […]
This one’s for Thomas. I may have butchered your song my friend. Do forgive. It sounds very stripped down, and…. alone, when I sing it. But the words are epic! Also, I sound better than I look (I look pained when I sing), and… Well I should probably stop making excuses. Arcade Fire, Forgive me. […]
The lines between truth and fiction are blurred; as a dream should be. You are tired, (I think) Of the always puzzle of living and doing; And so am I. Come with me, then, And we’ll leave it far and far away– (Only you and I, understand!) You have played (I think) And broke the […]
Springtime in the Maritimes looks an awful lot like winter. I’ve been to Canada before, a night in Toronto, and a few nights in Montreal. But this immersion into the Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the next couple of days in Prince Edward Island will have given me a true understanding of Canada. […]
The post last week by shadowseeker, about stumbling and finally deciding to let go of all her crutches, to find what she needs in herself, is a theme that has revisited me through many conversations this week. Please enjoy the romantic meanderings of my mind, as I explore this idea further… even a call to […]
Love this post by shadowseeker. People don’t try hard enough to find the true nature of love… the key is to be everything you need to yourself, and then love someone without needing them. To simply love…as she says…. I have stumbled through life, tripping over my mind, falling into and over you; stepped on […]
The sun sets on Santa Fe, and I walk through the barely populated streets of the Plaza. Small open courtyards, vigas of various sizes, the adobe style mixed with the victorian style architecture, like fairytale-dreamland-movie set. It’s beautiful. The native american culture is so infused within this region, more than any other place i’ve visited […]
The best example of teamwork in humanity these days can be witnessed at the baggage carousel of any major airport. Suddenly we are neighbours, lending a hand, catching wayward bags, helping heft them out of the carousel. Smiling and touching with none of the usual awkwardness. This is why I love travel- our very basic […]
Yes well.. I’m on a roll. A couple of things: 1. It’s amazing what you can learn on the internet. (Yes, I know some people take this to mean learning how to make bombs, and traps and drugs) but just a few months ago, my brother bought a Ukulele and I’ve since learned how […]
I’ve been practicing the ukulele on cold, springy-winter evenings… I sound tired, slightly off key and mannish. But this one’s for Amelia-James… my sun on winter evenings. Can’t wait to meet you Munchkin! And when I sing with you, I’ll do better. :* Filed under: Creative, Videos
It took less than an hour since I sat down at my desk after a 2-week vacation, for my life to be upheaved again. When I walked into the office I felt quite distinctly like I had been gone for a considerable amount of time. Not 2 weeks, no, felt more like 7 years. I […]
I’m writing this on January 16th, it will be posted a month from now on February 16th, on his 29th Birthday. This little reminder of our love will be my birthday present to him. In the next 4 weeks ANYTHING could happen. But what I’ve said here, it is the truth right now, and it is […]
Originally posted on The Fight In Me: Sleeping Restless Sleep. Dreaming Dreams. Smiling love. Story. A girl with a smile to beat the sun and a figure that screams sex gets off the plane in Sri Lanka. Its 530am December 20th, 2012. A day before the world ends. She walks down the long terminal to…
Sri Lanka is such an intoxicating experience. Just when I start to believe I know my life and I love it, I go to Sri lanka and it turns me inside out, upside down. I can’t tell if I have my priorities straight. My friends can’t be called friends. (Friends is such a silly, overused […]
This is my first attempt at documenting my travels through video and not only photo. Mind you I have zero videography experience. I am eager for feedback, but also excited to share a richer exposure to my island paradise. On January 6th, we head out from Morawaka to Siripade. We climbed the 2234m mountain all […]
Mithra Returns to Banagala: The Responsibility of Wealth I’ve mentioned my brother in the past, but I today I got a portrait of him, that is not just share-worthy, but necessary. The world needs men like my Malli (Sinhalese word for younger brother). As we walked through the land, that he will inherit and manage, […]
A little mention of why I’m posting this… because this is what new infatuation is like for me; and the beginings of love makes my world go around. That’s all. That day, the saucers landed. Hundreds of them, golden, Silent, coming down from the sky like great snowflakes, And the people of Earth stood and […]
This isn’t a depressing post or a sad moment. It’s just a moment of contemplation, a sombre moment when I look at my life and say “This is my life. I’m Happy.” The new year dawns for me with a missed flight, added cost for a new ticket and a fleeting sorrow that I’m not […]
