It all began with the stroke of a pen aged a little more than six, and it was while I wrote those silly stories that I knew I’d got my fix.

And as I prepare to leave a country I love, direction once again confounds me. I’ve taken more paths and chosen more roads yet the world is still spinning around me. Conflicting emotions about how to ‘travel’ are repeatedly rearing their heads; sometimes I feel the coil of life unravel, my heart aching beneath my … More The World Will Still Spin At My Feet

What will happen when day meets night, And night meets day on the other side? The vast mountains and rolling hills, The rumbling jungles, silence instills, The never ending ocean and dipping tides, The connection felt between you and I. Along the horizon a new tale unfolds, Crashes of light and colours so bold. Sounds … More Dreaming of the World and You.
