In fact, it’s fine to sometimes feel 0%. Crushed and deflated. Nothing for us to feel guilty about. But we do anyway. Somehow we have to show the world our perfect, struggling, martyr-like self. “Hey look at me dancing in the rain and smiling through it all. Even though I have toothache and credit card…
Yesterday my daughter started giggling in the back seat of the car. And she giggled so much she couldn’t stop. I said “Be careful or you’ll run out of batteries” Which made her laugh even more. Measuring energy can abstract. But we know it’s a real thing. How much energy will it take to turn…
I had a teacher called Mr Durham. He told my mother that I had a PROBLEM. Apparently, I kept standing up and walking out of class because I was bored. I can vouch that this is probably true. To me he was boring (other than the fact he drove the miniature train at the local…
Every day survived is a miracle and a gift. I shudder when I look back and remember taking entire days for granted without celebrating and squeezing every last drop of juice from them. Our days and our gifts are simply not for squandering. I’m not something for us to feel guilty about. (That doesn’t help…

As the ice caps melt, it’s easy to be sad or even angry. But surely, without belief in something better, we end up charging the battery negative? Pee’ing in the swimming pool for everyone? Whereas the more the positive energy wins. The better things get. So we all know our job. It’s a simple one.…
So why do so many friends of mine who live in London, New York and other big cities tell me they’re lonely? So many contradictions in this universe… But with the right energy and the right thoughts you can untangle every one of those strange riddles. Recently I saw the worlds biggest “Jumper” (What we…
Each bodily function was carried out by a different mini “factory”. Eating food would be one of those discussed in polite company. (Some of the others, you just have to giggle and use your imagination) Anyway moving on… Your mind is a factory too. Some people squander the opportunity to innovate and create great things…
My dog is a golden retriever. That means he likes to fetch things. Obviously that’s not great news for the chickens in the garden. They object to being retrieved. I guess back in the mists of time, his ancestors were bred to fetch dead birds for hunters. But let’s be clear. That “skill” was simply…
As a child there was a real fascination when the circus came to town. The folks inside the circus seemed to inhabit another world. Their own world. And their gates were locked. They were different somehow. But to anyone inside the circus, the perspective was reversed. THEIRS was the real world. The people outside were…
