a tempestuous affair

It's heading towards 8 pm on a humid summer night. I went for a run after work along the coast. It continues to be one of the magical things about living in this part of Sydney. It's quietening down outside. I can here the cicadas, people out walking and birds nesting for the night. I printed out... Sign in to see full entry.

set the mongoose free

The sky is blue and happy Chinese Year! Bring out the dragon and the clanging gongs! Let's put the pig on a spit: he's been Prime Minister too long and now he's taken to commenting on US politics! Leave The Man alone you wretched little munchkin, you Lord of the Rings reject! It's been ten long... Sign in to see full entry.

the collision of parts

Amongst the numerous exercises and methods of investigating the rambunctious inclinations of your inner life there is a particularly exercise where you name the parts that are at play or in contention beneath your own skin. Ah what a wondrous little community we carry inside our noggins: clear the... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm a cowboy

I've tended to be a little ambivalent about personality tests but I did THIS last night and found it's conclusion interesting. Well how can I not enjoy the image of being the individualist: slightly unshaven and rugged by nature, riding his horse on the lonesome prairies with a coiled whip by his...

connecting with power

One of the most moving moments during my travels in the US occurred when I stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. I’d been looking forward to that moment both because it was the place where I would be able to read the profoundly moving words of the Gettysburg address carved in solid surface of...

here to rock your world

Had another tremendous NLP session this afternoon, had an olympian run once I arrived home, pressed my eyes to the majestic surging ocean and thought metaphorical thoughts about the surging, frothing reality of inner life breaking over the rocks of the status quo and stuff, then I ran home and...

inner heavy weight champion of all the world

Stevie Wonder is playing himself ragged on the stereo and the day is turning mellow by candle light. Last night I put in an online application for a job and this afternoon, as I was waiting at the bus stop after a long day at work they rang to do a phone interview. It caught me by surprise and I...

some wierd erotic speculation about casanova and brain science

I'm reading a book at the mo' called the Science of Happiness. Just finished a chapter on Desire which described what a tremendous fireworks display happens in our brains when the unexpected happens.. we are thrilled by positive surprises and, in scientific terms, the powder keg of anticipation far...

third attempt

This is my third attempt at making this post. I'm presuming the past two attempts were somehow lost on account of there being a thunderstorm over head which has interferred with uploading to the net. That's my highly technical interpretation. In the first attempt I waxed lyrical about the power of... Sign in to see full entry.

a little explanation

Had a great NLP session this afternoon. I'd forgotten how effective it is in creating ways of accessing a greater sense of resourcefulness. LLM asked what NLP is so I'll give my best attempt at explaining it. As we go along in life we build up a lot of associations between things that happen (or... Sign in to see full entry.
