Australia! The great David Whyte (@poetdavidwhyte) is here Not only one of the finest poets but to see him live talking about poetry, life and being human is an incredibly life affirming experience. Funny, profound and deeply moving His work has changed and shaped my life So much so that two yrs ago for my 50th , I took a pilgrimage back to ancestral land in Western Ireland and did one of his walking tours He is here in Australia this month and I cannot recommend him enough, future you will thank you, and me for the heads up! I’ll be there at his Melbourne show, dates in Sydney and Byron Bay Details here Some David gold: “Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you.”

My wife is playing a dangerous game Positioning the frying pan handles in such a wanton manner is like playing Russian roulette every spin of the drawer I'm in constant fear wondering is it going to be today the drawer is wedged and then the living hell of trying to jimmy the drawer open with spatula who can live like this?

SOME NOTES ON THE JOY OF TALKING TO STRANGERS There are many people on here offering various tools and techniques and ‘hacks’ for that dreaded phrase, OPTIMISED LIVING I’m more for a meandering, lingering approach and underthinking and overflowing through my day Like a river doesn’t run straight it follows its own nature to flow and an oak tree doesn’t need hacks to 10X its PRODUCTIVITY to grow It allows its own intuition to grow Not enough is said about the life affirming joy in simply, with no agenda, taking the smallest amount of time to chat to strangers you see in any given day. Waiting for your coffee, passing on the streets, just a few seconds makes you and them feel alive and connected to our togetherness Which we need in a connected world by technology, but deeply disconnected from ourselves and each other on a heart level I invite you to feel this freely available daily magic this week. In just a few seconds you can deepen your connection to yourself and others. Come alive again through being in conversation with the world Enjoy
