At the start of 2024, I remember saying that I wanted to bed processes down and establish better routines. In other words, I didn’t feel the need to push the boat out too much—I wanted to focus on consolidation. It’s funny, then, that when I review the year, I feel sombre because I’m not sure … More Annual Reflection 24/25: To Strive or not to Strive?

David has an incredible ability to tease out the nuances in human experience, which adds a richness to my life. I particularly love the way he describes the ‘shadows’ that lie beneath every meaningful experience. One could argue that this focus on the darker elements of life is intense, depressing or negative but I find … More The Three Marriages by David Whyte
Just another day at the office of corrupt centralized institutions I was sceptical of the New York Times (NYT) in the past due to some controversy surrounding its editors/journalists/culture but I cannot remember those exact incidents very well.
