Reflections
Perhaps the only thing worth anything are thoughts and memories, sketches of the consciousness – certainly not worth much economically, but worth recording, even for myself and the very few people whom they might interest. It follows then that writing is one way of translating and recording these thoughts and impressions.
It feels like I'm in a Terrence Malick film. Don't get me wrong, I really like Terrence Malick's films, but it's been running for over 3000 hours now and it's getting a bit tiring.
Another day, these four walls. Home as work, work as home. No avoidance. The same routine, the days melting and fusin...
As I sit here, there is a sudden rush of energy forcing its way forward. A stretch of milder days is being brought to its end as the wind and rain cascade forward and transform everything around me. It's been nine weeks since I've been outside in the old world, which perhaps does not exist any longe...
It's been eighteen days since I started working from home and in the begining this was staying away from the city but getting outside to have a walk or ride alone, at least.

All those times of feeling so frustrated at the injustice and absurdity of the ways that things are organised. But there was always bread on the table. There has always been bread...

About this site
Having recently finished a doctorate, with some new found time and creative energy, this site is a way to rediscover the joy of writing just for the sake of writing – and writing without specific disciplinary constraints.

Having a lot of fun experimenting with this new (to me) opensource CMS and am very appreciative of the community that put it together and continue to maintain it.
This site is to document thoughts and ideas in an unstructured way. Everything here is a bit unpolished, but aiming for unfiltered and raw ideas - consider it a compilation of drafts that may or may not be developed further at a later stage.
