We flew home into the blue of beyond two weeks ago. In a few days we will catch a plane to the tomorrow of a southern French sun.
A Far Off Sweet Forever
There’s a Bob Dylan song that‘s been rolling along the tracks of my mind for some time. Even now, as I’m walking on a slowly sunny Los Angeles afternoon with the hound, I can hear it.
A City In Colour
I found myself on an eye wateringly early flight home to Los Angeles this morning after a wonderful few days in Mexico City.
Are We Dreaming?
I’m always on the look out for resonances which return me to the truth of the dream-like nature of our experience. It’s why I love Inception, Christopher Nolan’s exquisite creation from 2010.
Tenderly
It began with Keats. Walking through the enchanted world of Ode to a Nightingale I left the beaten track, mesmerized by a summons from the favorite American writer of my youth.
An Ocean of Wildflowers
I spent a hot and tired hour crawling through Sunday afternoon traffic on the 405 today and experienced one of those rare moments of musical transcendence when the world fades away.
Ad Lucem? Towards the Light?
Where is modern education leading our children?
Angel Moments
Sitting in a Larchmont living room, I listen with one ear open as my daughter and her piano teacher walk amidst the fine details of a Bach piece
Dappled Time
A velveteen rabbit lies abandoned on the bed. Sunday afternoon creeps quietly up through the open window.
Bubble On A Stream
We’ve come to the end of a busy week here. Lessons, activities and all manner of learning have flooded our tiny school.
Of Heat, Hobbits and Time Immemorial
It’s a blazingly hot Sunday afternoon here. Temperatures have rocketed up to 100 degrees and everybody’s feeling the heat.
Million Miles
It’s a cool grey morning. Hints of blue are emerging to push the clouds aside but the heat of the afternoon is for now a vague promise.
