Picture the universe and all its events repeating themselves forever in an endless loop; every thought, every emotion has occurred, is occurring, and will occur infinitely.

I started blogging on February 8, 2004 at 2:32 PM. I’ve been hooked on it ever since. But then monetisation happened, social media happened, and the blogosphere changed forever. And that’s fine.

Others can’t stand it and go out of their way to make sure that people know that their writing is 100% human-crafted. As a fan of folks like William Burroughs and Kathy Archer, […]
Stopping to smell the roses. Living in the moment. Being present. These familiar maxims speak to something many of us struggle with: the art of paying attention. In our distraction-filled world, concentrating intently on the present is increasingly rare. Yet the ancient Greek poet Sappho provides a model for mindful awareness and engagement with the […]
