I’ve no good excuse for not posting other than maybe that I need firmer discipline (ouch!).
Harnessing passion, vision, determination fuelled by an unwavering sense of purpose with superior logistics = crystallised genius. It’s the latter bit of the equation I’ve been missing.. and it’s starting to hurt. [Acceleration demands integrity so all the particles move in the same direction so they don't get blown apart and descend into chaos].
Beginning an thought experiment this week that deeply challenges my inherent need for freedom. By commiting wholeheartedly to a crisp time schedule …

Want to flip the AVERAGE BIRTHDAY PARTY concept on its head?

Does your environment strengthen & inspire you?
I live in a city that is like a big natural energy power-station to my soul. This place is spirit-soaringly lovely. Considered one of the world’s most beautiful cities, nestled between the big blue Atlantic Ocean & towering granite mountains, exquisitely clothed in the planet’s most richly diverse floral kingdom. Ringed by rambling vineyards and white sand beaches, could it get more gorgeous? Oh yes.. and the humans emerge in abnormally beautiful varieties here too %-)

There is something so exhlirating::so electric about watching massive late afternoon thunderheads banking against the blue highveld summer sky .. the anticipation of the powerful heavy storm to come. Growing up in Jo’burg has infused my body with this natural sequence as indelible cellular memories.
I miss it sometimes.

I know I?ve some traces of the geek – but heaven forfend – a nerd?! I rushed to Wikipedia to allay my blistered ego and found that I am indeed a classic nerd (confirmed in being an INTP in the Myers-Briggs years back.. must’ve been in denial) %-] For the purposes of simplicity and self-confidence I?m staying with geek till it …

Fed on fairytales, with all life’s occassionally brutal and unfair edges polished off, can lead to rampant rages against whoever happens to be in charge of the Universal Luck Lotto.
“BUT IT’S JUST NOT FAIR!!” We howl in impotent fury >> How come the rich get richer, good people suffer, innocent children starve while warlords live a fat lifestyle? Why do good things happen to bad people? (yes, I meant it that way around). In your industry, is it the most talented/ big-hearted/ best-educated/ super-smart/ ethical people who take all the …

..know those times when you feel the earth move? When titanic shifts are rumbling under your feet, you can’t see their effect yet, but you KNOW that when they break ground it’ll be momentous?! Last week was one of those big ole techtonic* shake-ups for me.
Think it may’ve started with the meet.up with the force of nature known as Mike Stopfornothing! [Boom! This man ROCKS! and has the energy to light up a city... put him on your radar if you haven't already].
The dovetailing synchronicity of surprising events is speeding …

“As once the winged energy of delight carried you over childhood’s dark abysses, now beyond your own life build the great arch of unimagined bridges” – Rilke
