On Being Sane in Insane Places On Being Sane in Insane Places Working on a Cruise Ship Working on a cruise ship is the sandpaper of my inner life. It smooths out rough edges and shapes me into a better person. Everything changes when you stop acting in the story and start witnessing it instead. This shift allows you to see life’s quirks and challenges in a new light, and the energy that flows from these moments—simpatico energy—is transformative. Onboard, life feels like a constant balancing act. With an all-you-can-eat buffet and an open bar as distractions, the deeper "good voice" of life often struggles to make itself heard. Yet, it’s there, waiting for us to tune in amidst the chaos. A Tale of Two Ships Cruise ship contracts are relentless: four months, seven days a week, 24 hours a day. There’s no room for a bad day; the only easy day was yesterday. The Boulders...

The London Underground is  a political movement. Conversations about the weather are the last refuge for  the unimaginative so let me de-create a bit.. and say the most serious charge which can be brought against England during my months long vacation, is June. It's been  cold and wet constantly. There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing for people who live in "bad" weather. It rains a lot here-the rain starts with a single drop, and I haven't felt any so far today, but I am not used to all this  precip er I mean moisture- Climate is what I have been used to getting, not weather. I was 20 the first time I  visited London!

Trials / Brighton, England Brighton Beach No Noose Is Good News Four seasons in one day, a beach made of pebbles, and the growing suspicion that the world had become too accessible to remain mysterious. See Full Image Show Text Ordinary World The Call Answer the Call Foreign Land Trials The Elixir June is the start of summer, but looking into the cool waters of the English Channel, there is no way I am going swimming today. It is four seasons in one day. You do not get climate here; you get weather. And there is no such thing as bad weather—only bad clothing. A lot of places claim to be unique. Brighton really is. It reminds me of Coney Island and New York, New York, but Brighton Beach is nothing like its sandy counterpart. ...

A Man's Home Is His Wife's Castle There will always be an England, even if it is in Hollywood.  In fact, it makes me think of  Monarchs,  all the  knights in shining armor movies and Brothers Grimm tales of  Rapunzel,  princesses, and royalty. English castles  are such a common sight in the UK. I wonder what the upkeep on this brick and mortar version is.  If I had that kind of money I wouldn't come to England, I'd send for it.

Walking On Water No Pool. No Problem. I have the sea and beach. Its voice speaks to my  soul. Why do "I love water" so much?   It not only permits  my  mind to be empty and clear, but enforces it because  time doesn't move hour to hour but wave to wave. If Hollywood is loneliness by the swimming pool, then solitude is a walk on the beach.

Living on a ship  might be summed up as monotony tinged with hysteria.  The Patron Saint of  Optimism-Another dopeless hope fiend! Geography is the topography of ignorance, a finite disappointment not only  when the map becomes the territory, but when you actually visit these hole in the wall places. In most cases, it's a lot better to transcend reality with imagination, re-framing the conversation. "Melbourne was awesome", "Ghana? Amazing!" India? a magical delight".   Nevertheless,  there is not one ship that doesn't sail to a port where life is not uncomfortable. The future just isn't what it used to be.  Yet, you don't quit countries, you quit people, and I have to say the best ships are friendships, and I have met some amazing people while sailing around the world. Impossible Is Nothing Going out to sea is  the infinity of hope, the preview of life's coming attractions where you have final cut in your own movie. ...
