KAIROS HADITHI dreamt that I had been invited to an interview at a huge successful tech firm. I was invited to walk around the buildings, meet people and observe how the company works. I was very excited and impressed. I then took the elevator to the top floor of the skyscraper where I was expecting to […]
I let my mind drift. As I lay with my head on you, Listening to the calm heart beat. Relax. So many things to do and things I want to do. Relax. But I have such limited time. Relax. I lift my head, unsure – And suddenly noticed how quiet the world was. I could […]
Henry Moore’s sculpture garden. Gentle beings, beings bigger than I, Huge beings with familiar curves Relaxing, in amongst the trees. Placed to reflect and reminisce of feelings, Times, when we were just little things, things amongst many things – not yet individuals. The joy of a hug. The need for warmth, protection, love. A need to be enveloped […]
Ceramic pots placed on a long table. Thirty years of work. Each pot a large handful of earth spun and shaped and mixed with other handfuls of earth to form a pot, hardened in the heat of fire. Delicate pots spaced carefully, each delicately balancing, as I walk around to find some nice angles to enjoy […]
It is the longest day of the year. I stood by the river, between two trees. Between two days. Between two seasons. Nature knew, and an invisible layer of magnetic pollen Hovered above the grass, hazily Lazily reverberating between the branches and leaves above. And I looked around: Where is everyone? They’ve missed it? An ancient […]
Soon, my good friend Robert was due to become a father. I travelled over to Frankfurt to visit him before his son was due and I wanted to spend part of the time doing something spiritual in the forest, as a type of an initiation for him. I considered doing the ancient Thor’s hammer rite together with him I had […]
It was a warm late summer’s day and I was upset, dismayed and lost. I felt overwhelmed and lay on the sofa, overlooking the evening sun set on the street outside. I suddenly became very tired. I rested my head on the sofa arm and I slipped into a half sleep state when the following […]
Today is the first time in my life that I am looking through CVs with a view to recruiting someone. It’s slightly uncanny. I actually logged in to write about something else (and hopefully I will after this) and a song came on from my songlist. It was Beth/Rest by Bon Iver. It took me back […]
A friend once told me a story about when his old car’s sloppy engine cut and the brake became a useless foot pump. The car drifted silently along the beach road, past palm trees and bistro tables. His son in the back seat leaned forward and said, “What are you going to do now, Dad?”. […]
I lay on the sofa and wondered what to do. I reached over and I opened the window. The air flowed down to me. I inhaled and sensed. Cooled sunset air from a bright day. Pollen of an English, soft leaved foliage. Ash from one last chimney fire. Gravy of the first dish served on a picnic table. Within one breath the season has changed.
