Stress and tension have their place in our lives and can be our biggest source of strength and drive. Yet balance is the key.

Poetry

Will

I love wandering and wondering. It gives me the chance for the most subtle thought bubbles to surface and to see what it could mean.

Life in Pictures - Oct 2023

October was both the longest and shortest months of the year. A mix of loss, illness and busyness. Yet I still managed to dig up some photos to nod farewell to the month just gone by.

Aging

Having lost my grandma and being amongst my family, I reflect on what it means to grow up and to grow old.

Sway

When I rock my second son to sleep, I think about how beautifully fleeting this is and how my relationship with my sons will evolve as they grow up.

Imprisoned

We were all once children that scribbled and painted without a care. Our creativity was all we had to make sense of the world around us. Where did that all go?

Live, Don't Seek

After reading a book about the infinite possibilities of our lives, I think about the one I am in and am grateful for it.

Hey Mr Stick

This is a fun and non-sensical poem I wrote as part of a journal entry one day to celebrate the wonderful moment I spotted a stick insect in the middle of nowhere as I was waiting to pickup furniture.

Sounds Like Life

To celebrate the beauty of everyday life, I decided to hone into one sense that would capture it; sound.

First month of owning my Ricoh GRIII and acquainting myself with the film look recipes! Here are my highlights from June 2023, enjoy!

Poetry

Recovery

I recently underwent a procedure to remediate a minor health issue. It involved surgery and I underestimated the pain I’d be in upon awaking. This is a part of life where I need to remain still to heal.

Poetry

Seasons

An acrostic poem! Remember those? Winter is now officially here and the cold nights wrap their fingers around our home. I write this as I feel the lower temperatures seep into my space.

Poetry

Fore Winter

As we prepare to bid farewell to autumn, it feels as though winter may already be with us. This is haiku to celebrate the seasonality that is life and to notice nature. Inspired by a moment sitting outside the car whilst my son napped.

Poetry

Hey Son

A free flow poem that I wrote during a morning journal and thinking about what I'd want to say to both my sons in this moment in time. It's hope mixed in with the journey of being a father.

Philosophy

Introspection

Come take a moment with me to read a passage from Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and how introspection can help you derive value from within.

Poetry

Nature's Edge

This was a recollection of a wonderous family day out to the beach. During this moment it was just my son and I and we explored the edges of a rock pool, standing on the fence with my son in my arms, overlooking the powerful waves crashing just at our feet.

Fleeting

The mind is a wonderful expanse which sometimes has so much going on, your train of thought can push ideas in line out of your brain. This is a haiku to capture that feeling.
