I’m eating a juicy pear in the library while I read about poor sick people and statistics. Outside through the window I can see the sun starting to slide off his thrown in the sky, scattering light through the trees. Golden beams of confetti to welcome the moon. She has been SO BIG AND BRIGHT Read more

Maybe time is neither linear nor pretending to be! We learn past-, present- and future- tenses as soon as we learn to speak. And like so much in life, language makes the rules. And so often, there is more emphasis on “yesterday I was…” and “tomorrow I will be…”. What happened to “today I am…”? Read more

Norway is beautiful… as advertised. The northern parts in the Lofoten archipelago felt like ever-green arctic tropics (somehow?). Golden green mountains glowing in 24/7 sun. It felt smaller…cuter…relatable. A nordic “wild coast” if you please. Climbing the mountains there didn’t give the feeling of “wow I’m small” like it does as you move further down Read more

Tents are like full body sunglasses. When you’re inside a tent, everything is the colour of your choosing. So what do you choose? Today I choose love and acceptance of what will happen… where I will be will be; who I will be will be; who I will be with will be. A few weeks Read more

“Look at this life of ours”…”counting blessings at breakfast!” Gratitude for Whāingaroa (Raglan): a womb, at the feet of mother Karioi, that has held me, all of us, inside herself and birthed such love… what fertile land for loving connection.

Especially when picked one at a time while squatting low amongst them to get “on their level”. Place one of these tiny pockets on your tongue and close your eyes: this miracle Read more

The foliage is so small and delicate here. Accustomed to the robust greens of home adorned with large leaves and thick strong flowers, it took me some time to see the wonder overflowing from every minascule detail. But now my eyes are aglow with admiration, my heart alive as I breathe it all in! Lime Read more

A friend, a home, a lover Of all seasons and all tides Born into a body of lessons And a mind that runs wild You learn lessons to the beat of your own drum Picking chords of your own creation Born of ears listening in love You sing melodies that melt hearts Out of the Read more

What a moment! The openess created in people’s hearts for me comes from a symbiotic relationship of loving and being loved. In every way that I feel so loved, so do they. To remind myself that, and to take up space and allow the love in is amazing. I’m so grateful to love like this Read more

The sun loves to shine on this coast all year round. When the sun is hottest, the sky offers a balm of heavy rain. At more temperate times the sun shines sweetly on our faces, through soft breezes that lightly lick the incoming waves clean. Dolphins crest the bluest blue between us as we float Read more
