Bio
Midway through my 30s, I've left my safe&sane London life for a completely unsafe&insane life 'on the road'. I write about travelling in the midst of a global crisis, being in a same-sex interracial relationship, astrology and more.

Facing the Darkness
I have received a text from Carol just as I left the Highgate station, crossing the street to our flat. She just wanted to know someone would be home real soon, as she’s felt the souls of our departed loved ones flocking around her & demanding to be acknowledged. Which understandably freaked her out a tiny bit.

Autumn Moon Magic
“We are born to kiss the stars and dance with the Moon.” ― Avijeet Das Full Moon in Taurus 31st October It’s no coincidence the ancient celebration of Samhain, when the seasons change, the nature twists on itself and the veil in between the worlds is thin and yadayada, falls into the Scorpio Season. Hailed by the fans of candy and slutty outfits, the neo-pagans and growing number of witchfolk, there is something about the All Hallows Eve that brings us closer to those we have lost. And diabetes. Mix that Scorpio intensity, sexual yearnings and a flare for self-sabotage & energies of stubborn and (material+physical) pleasures seeking Taurus, and voila – we’ve got some stinky spicy mess of an emo-soup being served on the last day of October.

Scorpio Season
“Seeing Death as the end of life is like seeing the horizon as the end of the ocean.” (D. Searls) Without mercy, end of October plunges us into dark cold waters of the most intense, mysterious, dark and sexual sign of the zodiac. Scorpio is closely linked to the cycles of transformation – Death and Rebirth. Each zodiac sign, and its astrological season, carries within it a medicine to help us transition into the next one. Scorpio teaches us the importance of facing up to the difficult emotions, intense energies, harsh truths & hardships that come with life sometimes, so that we can transcend the constrictions of our current form & shoot forward, past our comfort zones, like the arrow of Sagittarius, that follows up Scorpio’s contracting inward facing energy with a huge expansion.

Isolation to Isolation
"And so what is the master plan now." That's my parents for you. First Skype call since back on land, first call in 4 months. Only a few hours ago, we've concluded an incredible, both wondrous and fucking dreadful adventure on sea: sailing around the world all throuhout Christmas 2019 and the subsequent delayed Brexit & Covid stocking filling (I guess we must have done really bad last year, so that Nature literally sent us to our room to sit and think about it.).

On The Road
"You must create the right kind of dream, the sober, adult kind of magic. Illusion born of disillusion." S.Plath I think by now, we can all agree that lying on the internet is a part of our new normal. Hopefully the Generation Z will go through life with some sort of a social media awareness and breathe more easily than us, millennials, who are still trapped in comparing ourselves to what we see online, and embellishing ourselves online in a bid to match what we see. Well, fiction is relatively easy. In America, you pay for a course that gives you an exact formula for a successful fiction bestseller. A hero's journey. Exposition, action on the page 20, complication, climax on the page 142, fall, catastrophe. As anything in life vs how the USA tries to sell you life - the first will always challenge the latter. You'll sell books with this arc. But unlocking the mystery of life is not just a '$1200 online drama writing certificate' away.
