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.
How could he explain this ongoing sensation of being in limbo?
Does time pass by from the present to the future, leaving behind a past, with a linear flow; or does time accumulate all experience and moments into a mass of which we each stand on the edge, drawn by gravity back to the centre of all...
It seemed like a regular day. The sky was blue, freckled with clouds and a cool, fresh breeze sharpened the surface of his skin. Cars moved here and there, as they normally did. Really there was nothing that signalled it was different to any other unvarying and ordinary day.

I didn’t see many bicycles in my time in Korea. The severe congestion, combined with air pollution didn’t make it a safe proposition.

There was almost always that feeling of things not being right, an unsettling sensation that meant the present moment was uncomfortable and a source of agitation.

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.
Based in Melbourne, Australia, I've been building websites since the 1990s and have recently discovered Grav, which is used to publish this site. 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.
