A place we old cannot hope to explore.

For example I’ve had an idea for a novel since I was 19 and have written 90% of it yet I fail to keep my bum in the seat to finish it. Meh. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;"><br />To partially make up for this, over the past 17 years I’ve written a number of quirky items about various adventures under the name Doctor Lobster. I email these directly to people like you that I have met, liked or connected with in person. I get a lot of joy from this. Even more so when I receive responses - to which you would receive an individual reply (hint). I used to write up to 5 items a year. Of these, two are mission critical - a Chinese New Year ‘prediction’ and a Hot Cross Bun missive. And yet…for not one, but two years I have not written that Easter edition.<br /><br /><strong>WHAT. A. LOSER.</strong> Certainly in my own eyes… for is failure or success not only that we judge ourselves thus?<br /><br />You’d think I’d have many other things I could feel more of a failure around. I’ve been in love 5 times and 5 times those relationships have ended (still love you though). I came from a split home and now my daughter has a split family. I wanted to act, direct and run for office at some time in my life – haven’t of course. I also wanted to be an astronaut. Those all pale into insignificance compared to the prickly abject feeling I suffer having not found the will to write those two simple articles. My excuse has been that it’s hard to be creative while struggling for survival and yet they also say you have to suffer for your art. Apparently I am much more creatively productive when delighted and happy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;">Anyway going into space is not the big deal it once was and hey, it’s still quite possible. My first choice as a 2 year old was to be ‘an archaeology’ anyway… didn’t do that either (though I have dug up a triceratops femur). Acting, directing and running for office were part of a plan to be better at each successive one yet were really driven from a desire for the experience of these things. And I’ve not lacked for other interesting experiences in life.</span></div>

While those endings were not always pretty they were all necessary and in all cases both parties are flourishing quite nicely out of each other’s shade. I have the joy of deep friendships with the first four and share the most amazing aspect of existence with the last - our wonderful daughter Lorelei … and because of her, the mother and I must achieve the alchemical equivalent of transmuting base emotional angst into golden emotive content for the good not only of our daughter but of all who move within our spheres, which has been of the grumbliest variety for the last four years. Very challenging - I’ve failed the test many times. Now, my personal Philosopher’s Stone is the Healthy Limit. Through the magic of maintaining and honouring such boundaries, transformation may occur and the light at the end of the tunnel can open into a lush, wide and verdant valley. Wide and tranquil enough for peaceful co-parenting! No doubt there will be thorns and undergrowth on the path down the mountain. Clearing that path so as to better enjoy life's picnic in the green and pleasant land that is our daughter’s hoped for future will be worth it.<br /><br />Now to the buns… you see dear readers, I did indulge both times with every intention to write (there's that pathway to hell...). The events may seem prosaic compared to previous editions but so it goes and perhaps that is something that happens for parents with buns recently out of the oven…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;">2018 - A first for The Noodle. In Johannesburg with my mother who I thought had instilled this Hot-Cross-Buns-on-Good-Friday tradition in me. Turns out it’s only a Good Friday-specific thing for me and not even her, our family or the Catholic Church (from which I have long since fled). Which goes to show the level of meaning we can ascribe to life by blissfully instituting our own ceremonies through ignorance… along with a healthy dose of really not caring to dispel an innocent falsehood! Invariably I prefer my own imagination and path than that of others - thanks very much. There is no reason to think the world religions offer access to anything in the afterlife. Certainly no more than a belief in Odin, Athena, Zeus, Cybele or The Flying Spaghetti Monster does. I do think spiritual belief can offer us heaven on earth in the form of a peace of mind and faith that there is meaning to this life and existence. That doesn’t work for everyone but for those it does, it is a helluva gift. Of course I acknowledge the rampantly stupid stuff delivered upon us as individuals and a society by the foolery of dogma and faith-based ignorance. On measure I sense the things done on the parish level make religion a marginally more useful thing than not for humanity. ON THE PARISH LEVEL I stress. For what is that but just community and don't we really like being part of one of those!?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

A surprisingly sunny spring day it was a rewarding experience for the joy of being able to relax and chill into the familiarity that presence of family can bring in unfamiliar surroundings. At the time it was a haven in a storm as my nuclear family dream detonated Chernobyl-style. The white wine flowed while the crawly, stumbly, Lorenoodle, just returning to being joyful post chickenpox scoffed her 2nd hot cross bun in the presence of welcoming and wonderful cousins.<br />First Easter Egg hunt and first trampoline... ain't that a thing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;">I’m happy to know that despite last years darker than normal cast, for it was indeed the crucible of agony separation can be, I remember that time for the wonderful months I spent with my daughter in Stockholm as Daddy day-care before she began nursery.<br /><br />For those who do not know, I split my time between London and Stockholm and remain committed to living a life worth writing about. Even in its normality for normal is a wonderful thing - one rung above ordinary, inspiringly apart from crazy.<br /><br />And yes you’re getting another one of these in the not very distant future because its almost Hot Crusty Bun-a-rama day again and I’ve just barely redeemed some small part of myself in my own eyes… and isn’t it easier to love others when you appreciate yourself?<br /><br />Next up to finishing that story about that pesky Spider McGee - The Legend Lives On.<br /><br />Much Love<br /><br />Doctor Lobster<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Quite possibly it will come from within and is likely to be as obvious as the ship’s cat. Stoically facing it or preparing to will ensure this obstacle becomes The Way. Summiting even a mountain of garbage counts as scaling great heights. Often dealing with the worst garners the greatest benefit … even if you don't find the pirate gold, avoiding the greatest of all weevils will be far more important. The lessons learned in challenging times prepare us better for future calamity.</span><br />

Scuttle, scurry, rustle, rummage. Dig deep down, into the very bilges of your life. It might be murky, dark, wet, damp or dank but it is your soul so best measure it for yourself. Experience reality with and through your own senses. Even if you aren’t eating honey or wearing silk, you won’t be abandoning ship if you learn about the leaks and stem their flow. Then you will be far better placed for the strange seas ahead. </span><br />

Times can be hard, times can be tough but even the worst curmudgeons’ heart cracks a smile at the sight of a joyful dog bounding around.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That was the Hen this is the Hound,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And with it comes devotion to blind hope and deep-state loyalty. For at its base, loyalty wavers not from the object (of desire) but holds and caresses it no matter the misplaced acts or frantic egoistic squirms it makes. This is not to be blind to flaw though and soothing guidance is best given side-by-side. It is the wise that wish good companionship for their enemy. For good company breeds love, peace and contented goodwill. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Canine years are always positive even if they don't seem to be. Even if it’s challenging, in time you’ll find this annum was filled with seven years with of life’s beautiful lessons. The dog will never give up on you, though it might nip and bite at the heels of complacency. Run where once you walked, laugh where once you loved and love where once you cried. </div>

ps - Year of the Bitch, a little contentious…<br />As any kids do when learning a new language one needs a curse or three. In the days of apartheid we had no access to true speakers to teach us the more colourful words while learning Zulu in our all-white class. So with inventive puerility we constructed our own - Inja is dog and Injakazi, a female dog. Bitch.<br /><br />As the misogynistic mists raise and more gains in respect for womankind occurs - words need to be reclaimed. Year of the Hen leads into Year of the Bitch. Lucky are we that the best stories of these times will be told and written by and about women (no longer in the shadows).</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Creativity in all its forms - be that birthing new ideas, ventures, life itself or nurturing the valuable ones others have manifested - will bear the fruit of your future - so sow well. You must strive to get it out of your own organism so that your creations may have a life of their own, to do more things, reach and improve more lives than you yourself can directly influence. Its not just your coop that needs to be safe and secure… it is patches everywhere, and probably the only way to do that is to provide a beautiful example of how to do it. Foster an open coop policy that those in need of warmth, food, love, care or just good company may feel welcome to visit, bringing their own diversity. Talk to anyone for long enough and they will tell you something interesting, listen to their story and you will want to hold them and cry for the beauty that is the human experience.<br /><br />Let the mantra for the year be:<br /><br />Better together.<br /><br />The truth may not always be beautiful but the search for it is.<br /><br />And “If you think you are too small to make a difference" then recall what The Dalai Lama said:<br /><a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/01/21/world/womens-march-pictures.html?_r=0" href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/01/21/world/womens-march-pictures.html?_r=0" target="_blank">“Try sleeping with a mosquito"</a> (please click on that!!!)</span><br />

Greetings One and All<br />
<br />
What a year, what a life… many are berating 2016 for its rude and rough handling of us. Yes it contained some the most horrific and unpleasant surprises globally and personally but it also contained some of the brightest moments of growth illuminating the path ahead.<br />
<br />
My year began with a rash of fun missives about things such as Leap Year and Indonesian Eclipses then the writing if not the living faded off as I was overwhelmed by events… I experienced an inexplicable marriage of heaven and hell in relationship form. Encountered death with a stranger on a beach. Returned to transformative festivals like Burning Man. Finished one major film, started another straight away while still making time for a low-budget Indie. Love was lost. Death claimed my father via the limbo of neurological ICU. I donned the mantle and crown of responsibility and finally had a healing Christmas with my family. Per ardua ad astra (through adversity to the stars). The lesson of accepting loss forever played out in full. I did the work and immediately found that what could be returned to me was. Not my dear departed father but version 2.0 of the relationship with Miss Rabbit. <br />
<br />
During the year I behaved in ways admirable and abominable. Proud of how I handled many adversities I was equally shamed at my reaction to perceived challenges. When someone powerful storms into your life in the name of love the opportunity for change can be mistaken as attack on sovereignty. One's old un-serving patterns are not one’s identity, no matter how long one has come to identify with them, they are just a shell. It might protect from external harm but it can also constrain and contain. Growth can seem painful but after lobster-like shedding I am glad of this years extraordinary lessons. I feel the freedom to shift, expand and take the brave steps towards a bright future. One filled with more hope and promise than I have ever felt. Not the least because I feel met and Isadora and I have shared the same journey through a crucible of fire emerging with a strong, respectful, loving bond and beautiful vision for the future. It necessarily took complete loss to find our way back to each other. Our recovery mantra’s, the personal "Locked open in Love at Convict Lake.” and the public paradigm shifting parody "Too good to fail.” Like this astonishing world we live in. <br />
<br />

One regret I can rectify was the failure to post one of my two ‘compulsory’ annual blog articles - around Hot Cross Buns … While I might not have written about it - I did not miss out on the occasion…<br />
<br />
Rewind to late March and for the very first time I feasted upon Easter buns kneaded by my own hands under the auspices of Miss Rabbit in Gothenburg. It was a first excursion to her home city to meet friends and family. I am nothing if not romantic so a couple of these buns were crested not with crosses but with hearts instead. I was very surprised by the amount of effort it takes to make these bread like things - far more effort than a cake yet a wonderfully soul-nourishing thing to do. As they baked and filled the house with the aroma of yeasty Easter yumminess we celebrated, via a yoga kria, gratitude at the wealth of abundance we enjoy.<br />

I believe in the restorative nature of forest fires and that the phoenix can only rise from the ashes but the healing balm of recognition and reconciliation is required to balance things. I do not Iive to tread the simplest path of a happy pig, nor am I a fair weather friend. Why run at trouble and strife when to remain might enable depth of connection and release from deeply blocked pain and suffering. Why run when learning so much about myself. Learning about me, the maker of my jokes and exporter of my laugh, crier of my tears, dreamer of my dreams and author of my life. And for sure I learned how large and small an alpha I can be and how that was at times quite horrid for my previous loves and teachers. Yum Yum, Mouse, Crab, Red and Pudding please accept my apologies for being so goddamn stubborn. Thank you so much for being with me, for the amazing experiences and for all the valuable lessons gained from you. Lessons that have made me who I am and enabled me to live this life. Your love was always an amazing gift and prepared me for this one I now worship at the altar of. All that I am I offer at the altar of love in sweet <a href="http://store.jayalakshmiandananda.com/track/altar-of-love-sat-nam-ji-wahe-guru-ji">surrender</a>.<br />
<br />
But then again perhaps it has been this stubborness (Obby the … ) that has enabled me to remain in place and follow this lupine alpha on alpha mating policy...<br />
Good Wolf, Evil Wolf fighting for your soul… which one will win. The one you choose to feed. This is in general taken to mean that one should feed the good wolf not the bad one. However if you don’t pay the bad one any attention at all you are going to have a ferocious, desperate and starving wolf tearing at your soul as its very existence is threatened. That sounds none too wise. Perhaps feeding it and giving it loving kindness might change its ways… for the most part things react well to compassion and sympathy and badly to favouritism and neglect. It is important to find the alternative narrative that encompasses the whole and provides a positive outcome for all involved in the story. It can contain a hero’s journey and yet redeem the villain. For we contain both and both are part of us. Like Tantra is often misunderstood in the West as being only of the light… it is not, it contains all, the whole spectrum from light to dark and back again around the other side where the filters don’t make it quite so clear whose brighter anyway… light, dark, left, right, up, down, in, out, man, woman, mountain, valley, peak, trough, right, wrong, concave, convex, they are all descriptions just of opposites, of abstractions such as directions that cannot exist without each other. None of it is absolute; all can be quantitative and relational rather than judgemental. So invite your dark side in, offer it a nice cup of tea and a sit down, thank it for its efforts to protect you from something it itself is terrified of, reassure it that all is going to be ok, that it is welcome to enjoy the warmth but only for as long as it does not cause trouble. And if it does … flush it down the toilet saying it can only come back once it’s improved its attitude again.<br />

Much love wonderful friends<br />

A while back I was well known as a Total Solar Eclipse Chaser… but nigh on 8 years passed without such an <a href="http://doctorlobster.blogspot.co.uk/2008/08/13-e5-mongol-time.html">excursion</a>. So quite excitedly the inimitable Brooke Lyndon-Stanford (there’s an explorer’s name) and myself undertook a ‘smash and grab’ eclipse pilgrimage.<br />

Halfway around the world in 80 hours we went… Four planes, a long cab ride, a long boat ride across the equator, another longer baking hot boat ride and a few walking adventures transported us from London Soho office to Desert Island hammock in the Gulf of Tomini, Sulawesi, Indonesia. </div>

We were sixty-eight souls aboard that vessel and not a drop of drink was left by the end of it… though god knows we packed too much of that and too little of water for our tropical cruise*. For this was not your average amateur astronomer brigade, this was a motley-crue of pirate-like solar eclipse chasers. Most, captivated like me by their first experience, had now been on many such excursions, all excellent and all well-seasoned travellers.</div>

As natural phenomena, Total Solar Eclipses are primeval yet highly inspirational experiences. They become these dramatic ‘hourglass’ moments. As if all things in your life have inexorably lead to THIS moment and THIS place, when you are THAT grain of sand in the hourglass, FALLING, in THAT moment, in GRACE… sublime. And after that the whole world opens up again, your life lies before you and you return to it.</div>
<br />
Of course all ‘moments' are the same and poignancy frequently found in the mundane… but these eclipse moments grab you in a primordial way… they demand complete presence and attention to the celestial drama. All else disappears, gone is the bank balance, the girl or boy, office politics, family feuds, fear you left the stove on and so on. Not gone is the feeling of being alive on this Earth and in awe and wonder, lapping up the silvery corona, people delighting, an all-round sunset horizon, stars, a chill and the weird otherworldly light as the Moon sweeps across our one true light casting a lucky few in shadow for a precious minute or two.<br />

This eclipse trip was all about the journey and while not restful it was restorative in terms of the need to have adventure. This world is not so small. There are many distant places not in cellphone or Internet coverage. Yet beautiful and friendly people live there and many more were met along the way. One cannot see the size of the mountain until one is far away so I am returned to English shores basking in the afterglow of an adventure well-had and affirmed that this is one hell of an amazing planet to be living this incredible life upon. </div>

I was caught up with the idea of Lent coinciding with the supposed period of Jesus going into the desert for 40 days and being tempted by the devil… the devil of course just being the thing within us that is hard to resist… and I managed except for a final sunset coffee while humouring some beach kids slingshotting targets in exchange for our remaining rupiah. The imperfect thread weaved into the tapestry.<br />

Postscript:<br />
How many Indonesians does it take to change a light bulb?<br />
One.<br />
<br />
I didn’t get the photo of that happening but it was an encounter in a hotel that crystallized what an amazing time I had in Indonesia. There has been a high level of competence on display from everyone and every local I encountered was exceptionally friendly, nice, took the effort to try to understand whatever vague issue I had and then to help. Such a good and positive visit to such a lovely country. Bravo.<br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Its less common for me to put out a missive between the Chinese New Year
and the Hot Cross Buns of Easter’s Good Friday but this year requires it as it
is a LEAP year… and the 29<sup>th</sup> of February is a special moment of
irregularity – if you have a hundred birthdays you will only have twenty-five
29th’s of February, a few of which you would not have noticed. <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Yet this rarity is almost never accorded much respect. Sure there’s the oddity that they’re known as the day on which the ladies are allowed to ask a man for his hand in marriage… How quaint… As if any self-respecting feminist (and I count myself amongst them) would settle for such old world tosh. So please accept this invitation to make something special out of the ordinary!</span> It's a
great day to think about the <a href="http://doctorlobster.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/bizarre-species.html">bizarre species</a> we are and marvel at the wonders

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">But I have felt a yearning for metamorphosis, that it was time to shift
from what I am to what I will be so that what I become will be entirely
different from what I was. Well over a year ago I was offered the opportunity
to work on Tim Burton’s next film, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjG7Hi7IRkM">Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children</a>
and jumped at the chance despite it meaning moving back to London from New York
City. I did and London welcomed me back like an old friend treating me like the
prince it always has. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I arbitrarily concluded that the duration of this film shall be the
period of my pupation and being whimsically prone to dramatic gestures I
assigned the Leap Year day as my ‘due’ date for emergence into my new
existence. Of course such plans mean nothing to the gods… and so with great
luck, for this film experience is proving to be even more fun and extraordinary
than I imagined it would be, I remain gainfully employed on it for several
months still to come, well past this 'incubation date' and right
now I can’t see any dramatic change occurring on the 29th… I’m guessing I’m
going to be an overdue cocoon-baby.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">It’s quite a challenge trying not to plan for this future as a
butterfly, moth, fly or whatever it is I’m becoming… One simply wants to plan. But
can a grub or caterpillar ever dream big enough to do grace to what she shall
be when first she unfurls her wings and blinks her new beads to the sun’s
cheering light after sleeping for what was going to be eternity? I remind
myself gently just to rest easy, enjoy the comfort of the chrysalis* while it
lasts… for to be sure it has not been as simple and restful as expected,
it has been buffeted by many a gust, even surviving the storm known in
Nordic parts as Mama Rabbit but that I call <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153252549702665&set=a.10151509784097665.1073741827.599457664&type=3&theater">Love-monster Wronski</a>…
not the peace and calm required for simple transmogrification… but an excitement previously unknown.
The intensity available after such a short period speaks volumes of connection
as well as commitment to the cause of Adventure… tis true that Safety is
Third… Love and Adventure being well ahead of it… Yet I do wonder if my
pupation is something being cast aside, am I cut out from the cocoon too early
or is it yet ongoing and consequently just the date of my metamorphosis
postponed… or am I growing into an even <a href="http://www.thememorypalace.org/wp-content/uploads/Lost%20Lobsters%201.mp3">stranger thing</a> - larger perhaps than
previously thought? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

normal expectation and risk failure. For Success is a shallow teacher providing
but part of the lesson… rather boldly fail where you haven't failed before…
it’s there you’ll grow the most… in short, fail up… challenge your edges… test
your mettle… for this year is indeed a test… <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "helvetica"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">But its a test designed for you to pass… the only real failure comes
in not attempting… to sullenly sit, refusing to play will serve neither you nor
the troop. Rather swing your way though the canopy of life, trusting instinct
and knowing that failure is most likely just landing on your arse… everyone
does… and everyone laughs… after all, do you mind when your fellow friendly
fuzzies are a little foolish… hell no… whoop de woo you’ll show them how its
done until just like them you too crash on your bum. And they’ll laugh and
delight just as you did with them. And another and another will follow
attempting the same providing further mirth. So learn to laugh with and at
yourself. It’s such a gentle and mature thing to do and takes great care of the

What
you find instead will lead you back to where you were when you wanted to be
where you are now and that might be a place you’d prefer to be... either way like
the epic journeys of legend that end back in the hero’s village you will be
wiser. Most positive change felt painful in the beginning… and most courage is
found unexpectedly. So don’t shy from the challenge rather shy a coconut at the
baldhead of Seriousness and laugh while you scamper back to the jungle of Joy
your life can be. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white;">This year I was in Turkey with my Father and his
wife Di. We were chasing World War One ghosts in Gallipoli and Homer’s myths
and legends in Troy across the Dardenelles. It’s always seemed a little strange
to me that Troy is a real place with actual things like the Scamander river in
which the Goddesses washed their hair and so on. At any rate this part of the
world has been so central and important that these incredible Greek tales were
set in them and the Romans claimed them too... Though perhaps it’s no different
from the fictitious hero’s we populate ‘Gotham’ with in our modern legends.</span><br />

interests of inclusion and peace especially in religious ways I made a special
effort. Ladies and Gentlemen - I present to you the Hot Crescent Bun! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Religious intolerance is the most obvious global sticking point at the moment.
I’m aware that religion has been the root of many horrendous conflicts. Or
rather than root, its been used as the explanation for peoples being at war
with each other rather than it generally being about economics as usual. And
yet I am utterly baffled by the faith-based insistence on being right and to
hell with the rest of you. And how otherwise logical folks think that there is
any more reason to believe in one almighty god than there is to believe in the
whole Pantheon of gods that meddled from Mount Ida in the affairs of noble Troy
and are scoffed at now.</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Back in bad old segregated Johannesburg, South Africa I was in high school in
the 80's. For an hour a week we were prescribed to do 'cadets’ training. This
amounted to learning to march like we would be expected to when we went to the
white apartheid conscript army after school. To some degree the students were
left to drill themselves. Basically some of the seniors ordering the juniors to
March around in class squads. Left right left wheel halt blah blah banal...
Except once a group of matrics (final year pupils) decided to have some fun.
They took our little squad of 30 or so 14 year olds. They picked one of them
and made this one kid point out who was a faggot in the group. I don't have a
lot of sympathy for this kid, made to choose, for he was a bit of a weasel and
was clearly happy that he got to choose and therefore wasn't going to be the
main target of this abuse. He chose a friend of mine, like me not very high on
the list of sporting achievers and thus just perfect to bully. And of course I
was also singled out as being ‘queer’. Next this matric (not the sharpest claw
on the cat but definitely the meanest of the litter) made my friend lie on the
ground with all the boys stand around and watching. And then I was made to do
press-ups on top of him. I remember being horrified and embarrassed and just
did what they asked and hoped it would end there. It pretty much did. What a
stupid crappy thing to have to endure.<br />
<br />
Now I don't really care about any of that anymore but I do care how homophobia
is still used to bully, belittle and denigrate people around the world
regardless of whether or not they even are homosexual. So I want everyone who
knows me to know that it's not anymore ok to be even casually homophobic than
it is to be casually racist, sexist and so on. But what freaks me out even more
is that so many people aren't even casually so. They actually are so.<br />
<br />
Everyone knows change is needed, everyone knows change is coming but people
forget that change <i>is</i> and <i>always</i> has been
happening... Each generation is more liberal than the last and more personal
freedom attained than before. Many think this is a bad thing. But let’s face
it... that decision is generally made by the people or groups in those
societies that enjoy the most personal freedom within them. It isn’t the
subjugated that choose slavery. At least its amusing to think how in a few
years people protesting against same-sex marriage will look as daft as those
protesting against equal civil rights.</span></div>

Like those brave men that fought and died in Gallipoli there was a moment at
which they had to leap from their trenches and expose themselves to certain
death. So too on much smaller levels there come moments in our lives in which
we are willing to make a stand and expose ourselves to hostility. Not
necessarily at some dramatic moment but rather at a point when one’s own
confidence and indignation of the injustice has grown enough to do so. So over
the top I go...<br />
<br />
I've had some same-sex interactions. Almost entirely this has just involved
kissing and most of those times have also involved a woman. I am far more drawn
to women and to the female form however if I meet someone I simply have to kiss
and they feel the same way then I have kissed them. Should I ever enjoy
it more; I hope I have the courage to go beyond any form of residual
societally placed homophobia and explore further. There is everything right
with this attitude. In just the same way there is nothing morally higher or
lower for any consensual act of love or sexuality between adults no matter the
shade of grey.<br />
<br />
My first pass at writing this article deliberately left my experience-level
vague so people could think what they wanted to. I felt anything else might be
apologetic. At one point I’d even considered ‘coming out of the closet’ as
being bisexual or gay just in solidarity, regardless of the fact that I haven’t
actually had sex with another man nor wanted to. But those were not my truths. I remain scared and wary of this form of sexuality but I completely recognize how
wrong that is and how this fear has been placed within me by the actions of the
social multitude and also the horrible few.<br />
<br />
Whereas I know Love is Love. And I ... love you.<br />

The destination is often obvious but the path to it unclear... And to that the Goat remarks, “You can't force it to happen but you must contribute in order for it to happen, yet above all, accept that it is already happening!”</span></div>

Not the erratic path of living two extremes or the moribund plod of appreciating neither. Rather the path of the faithful, the compassionate, the curious, the wise and the bold. The future is only assured by care in the present.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">This is not a year to be shy and retiring. Free yourself to respond to life’s catastrophes with equanimity and individuation. Even if its just being noticed for noticing others or standing up for common differences. Kindness will carry you far this year. Kindness to everything, not the least of which is yourself. Self-harm and negativity, if indulged, will carve deep scars into your psyche this year. Yet upon completion of your challenge slip back into the herd and allow another the limelight. When the flock is like an oceanic flow of jellyfish its often just who you bump into that will enable vast and focused upwelling...</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">But there is an aspect to this year that can result in inadvertent destruction or unexpectedly bad consequences and never more than during a random encounter. Remember that a harsh word spoken at the wrong time will cast a very long shadow. That cuts both ways – so be ready with humility to lick a wound you’ve caused or deflect a thorn from your flank with indifference.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">It’s a year of tight spots, close scrapes and grim determination... but set in the lushness of a green valley on a summer evening in a warm community ... Specific choices HAVE to be made and while you might not want to stand out it'll only be by choosing not to that you won't... You'll have to work hard to disappear into the flock - it's possible but on the other paw why would you want to? Better to take the moment to do a merry dance, shout out about the magic that is in every one of us and reassure all that no matter how long they’ve splashed around in the shallows each one of us is a person of depth.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">This is the year to become the king your king wanted you to be.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">Much Love</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">Doctor Lobster</span></div>

town with a fishing problem. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fresh in the water at the most Eastern beach, Ditch Plains, I
sat on my surfboard beyond the break. I was acclimatizing to the blinding combination
of saltwater ineffectually waterproof sunscreen. This reminds me of two phrases,
<span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">‘</span>Wherever you go, there you are<span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">’</span> meaning
that there is no escaping one<span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">’</span>s problems, they travel
with you until dealt with and <span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">“</span>there are flies in
paradise<span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">”</span>, meaning the frequent small tribulations that distract
us from being present to the grander beauty of a moment. That said, hardly able
to see, I noticed a bee struggling close-by, in or more exactly, on the water.
He/she/it (are bee<span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">’</span>s gendered as such?) was wet but
somehow not quite breaking the surface tension. My instinct is to save any life,
however no good deed goes unpunished. So not wanting to get stung I tried at
first to get it out of the water on my board or my neoprene-covered forearm. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

I picked the bee
up with my bare hand. It immediately crawled all the way up my ring finger,
right to the tip and stopped. The symbolism of it choosing my commitment finger
was not lost on me. I was in... I wanted to save this bee though I knew full
well it was a fool<span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">’</span>s errand with fractional chance
of success. This half-drowned bee most likely already doomed.<o:p></o:p></div>

I held him a while, close to my face, while paddling with a
single arm to stay afloat. Such intricate beauties they are – fuzzy and
detailed – so many little component parts, wonderful living machines. After a
few minutes without any sign of life, I thought he had perhaps expired. Still
fearing a sting though, I figured to move it to my wetsuit and rest my tiring lone
paddling arm. I scraped the bee gently onto my right-forearm. As I did, he wonky-wobbled
a few steps to the top of my wrist. Yay – a living bee! He was clearly still
pretty troubled and lay still for so very long. Suddenly an antenna popped up then
the other too. They windscreen-wipered his eyes. In a small flurry he shook his
wings and walked in a small circle, now entirely dry. This was sooo
encouraging. I tasted the chance of a successful life-save! Yet my board had
turned nose-first toward the waves and in that beat, a large swell pitched me
up, threatening to sweep me off and take my Apian passenger back to a watery
grave. Desperately, and instinctively, I pushed down hard on my board with my
left hand, arched my body high while thrusting up my bee-ridden right arm. Hoping

doused in the face, drinking water but managed to cling onto my board and
righted myself fearing the worst for my fuzzy friend. But lo, he was still
there... clinging to life and the dry-ground of my arm. Phew. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We stared at each other close-up. I said, <span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">“</span>Bee,

lovingly back, fluttered its wings tantalizingly-well once more and smiled as
sweetly as any honey. Perhaps intoxicated by the sexy South African accent of
this surfer showing such vigour in its defense, the Bee just gave me a cheesy
grin as if to say, now we<span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">’</span>ve met I<span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">’</span>m

I transferred her (our relationship being of a different
nature now) to my fresher left arm, she crawled higher toward my shoulder. A
good place I thought, perhaps now I could use both arms to paddle and make it
to shore. A larger wave, sent by the jealous sea intent on reclaiming its
victim, flipped my board up, sliding me right off! Desperately with my leftside
up, I grabbed my board back, pulling myself on fully expecting her to be gone.
Yet she wasn<span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">’</span>t. Miraculously she still clung
to my bicep. Dampened once more though. One wave forward one trough back. Sigh.
I shifted her back to an arm and we hung out a while in the heat of Summer.
Again and again she fluttered those wings enticingly. I held her as high as I
could, thrusting my hand up while shouting. <span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">“</span>Go my Bee, my love, live,

endured 45minutes plus of my one-armed paddling. I was tiring. I had to save my
bee-loved but how to do it? Ditch Plains, you have probably guessed, is not a beach
you can get to shore without getting dumped by a wave nor am I the kind of
surfer who can skillfully glide all the way in having only recently upgraded as
a surfer from drowned rat to falling leaf. I had no solution but I had to make
an effort. Other surfers drawn to my odd antics had admired the effort but
could not offer solution either. If only there<span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">’</span>d been a stand-up paddle-boarder

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Bringing her close to my face once more, I said in as lovingly
stern a tone as I could manage, <span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">“</span>Bee, you are amazing and

Silently I paddled a few more minutes while she stubbornly
refused to see sense. Eventually I accepted that I would have to make an
attempt to land. Perhaps if we got closer she might take flight. I was tiring
considerably so needed to attempt this while I still had the strength. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Her antennae quivered and she saw (well into the UV spectrum)
that I was utterly sincere but still she made no move. I shifted her from my
hand onto the outer edge of my left bicep freeing my left arm for at least some
paddling usage. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
And so we began that perilous shoreline attempt. By a
combination of paddling and crouching I made it through a first wave. On the
second I was briefly standing before electing to go down with control so as not
to lose my striped cargo. My hopes climbed that I stood a chance at pulling of
a Great Beescape. But as we entered the more dangerous and rocky final section
a third and humungous wave swelled right up ready to break and roll completely
over me. Once more I put every ounce of energy and sinew into throwing myself
up shouting <span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">“</span>Go, go, go<span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">”</span>.
But I ate wave and was rolled right under water. When I surfaced... there on my
upper left arm was... no bee. No Bee. <o:p></o:p></div>

- I felt the loss. Deep. I had known right from the start that this was not going
to end well. That this little life was probably already done and doomed. That
all that time in the water had probably already killed her. Or even that she
had perhaps just lived her life out or indeed had even stung someone... but it
had become a challenge and I<span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">’</span>d tasted hope. We had

A short while later I was mulling things on the seashore. In
this melancholic state I absent-mindedly wrote the word <span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">‘</span>Self<span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">’</span>

taking my phone out I photographed the word. Just then a wave washed over,
obscuring the word from view. As it retreated the word <span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">‘</span>Service<span style="font-family: "MS 明朝","serif"; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">’</span>
remained in its place. An ocean-born message to me the lone survivor searching
for meaning and purpose. <o:p></o:p></div>

Now I had not actually seen that horror wave take Bee from

Yet in the preamble to this year’s joys I stumbled onto something that is truly the Devil’s work... The kind of thing that’d get those god-bothering anti-stemcell, it-goes-against-nature-and-god’s-will sorts in all manner of a pantie-twist... Hot Cross Brownies! Genius at first sight... And I thought aha – I have a humorous new angle for my Easter blog post. I can understand a need to increase sales and cash in on any vaguely marketable ploy… so add a white cross onto your brownies and be done with it. BUT these fiends would not stick to that. Oh no, they messed with the medium… they cross-bred a bun with a brownie resulting in something that looks like a brownie but tastes of Xmas at the wrong time of year and makes a train-wreck of the chocolate decadence one wants from a brownie – currants and cinnamon in a brownie? Like condensed milk on a sardine! If its not broken don’t break it... as the saying doesn’t go. If you’ve only got a thumb every tool looks like a hammer, right? </span><br />

This year I stalked and snared a brace of buns in the fields of Villandry, a restaurant that lies beneath the bastion of my gainful employment - Double Negative - stalwart in the VFX industry to which I owe so much. For the last 3 months, I have lived like a Prince of London in their Ivory Tower penthouse while serving on Avengers 2. So this morning, appropriately, I shared a bun with Rapunzel herself before leaving these fair and generous shores for a transatlantic ambush of my Canadian pals Katie and Skez who are about to leave Victoria, BC for Grand Cayman... en route I devoured the 2</span><sup style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">nd</sup><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;"> bun and can state that these buns have been about the best I’ve had in many years though I did doubt their integrity at first as they had but the slightest hint of a cross but a deceptively delicious glazing of sugar. Mmmm. </span><br />

Along the way I have been to all ‘my places’ and seen ‘all my people’ except Slacktoria in Canada. And now I head there, to rectify that, not out of duty but out of delight! I’ve seen the value of community and stability. London, Kas, Cape Town, Johannesburg, New York, LA, Black Rock City and Victoria – all places I would be welcomed to as if at home. Yet my life, my job and my choices, exciting at times have me shifting a lot... spreading me quite thinly over this magnificent globe so I miss out on the rewards community brings, building, growth, consistency which can translate to family, pets, learning from a master and for a 2nd year in a row Deirdre's homemade buns pictured . I fear it’s also cost me a prize more dear.</span><br />

It’s contained phenomenal loss and phenomenal gain. One aspect of it has been coming to terms with Love. What a delicate thing it seems to be but how ferocious and strong it can bind. There has been storm after storm and numerous occasions on which it has seemed to be snuffed out only for it to spring back to life stronger than ever. Yes, I cried and yes I have fed on my pain, beat my chest, rent my clothes and wanted it all to end. Certainly with bitter resolution I could’ve ensured its end. But, taking a leaf from pure impressionism I once made the choice to never paint with black. I am glad I didn’t. Instead I took some fat from the marrow of the bones of life I’ve been gnawing on and made a candle to burn in honour of what Miss Sparrow has been for me for the last 6 years.</span><br />

Like learning the hard truth that friendship is not necessarily forever, so - I’ll quote the Byrds rather than the bible - I’m understanding '<a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2my33_the-byrds-turn-turn-turn_music">There is a time for everything</a>'. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.799999237060547px;">And now is not the time for Us. Now is instead the time to walk our own paths so that we may know the joys of our individual dreams. When we try to be together the Universe seems to pull us apart and when we make no effort it pulls us close. So off we bound into the woods, looking to live before we die, knowing that if we encounter one another again we will be absolutely fresh, renewed and reinvigorated. I understand this as living in Grace. This is not a regret, this is an opportunity and a joy. It’s an interesting journey and an even more interesting difference to separate from a love for the wrong reason compared to doing it for the right reason. I’ve had both with the same person for the first time. Separating now because we love each other rather than last year over mistrust. An angel-friend pointed out the possible reading of that song “<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBumgq5yVrA">You only know your lover when you let her go</a>” to be that you have to let go of all ownership, all objectification within love to allow them to come to a full fruition and in so doing they may grow in absolute abundance and give many gifts in time. The future is a very big, promising and mysterious place but for now we each have to deal with our individual ‘presents’. I am calm within. I also understand that you don’t need religion to have faith. I have faith in the integrity and love with which we've made this choice. Taking a step away from the lowest common denominator trap and towards the possibility of a brighter future.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">It’s a great year to dream, drift or knuckle down to some solid task. It’s a great year in general, so fresh and wild. Its dangers lie in driving you and yours too hard. If you pick a path too difficult you may well founder your mount by being too hasty. And for the want of a horse (and a few other things major and minor) a kingdom was lost. This is a year to strategically reposition yourself for victory in the next. Lead if you like, take your people to places but let them choose what to do once there. Self-determination is for all.<br /><br />Whether by gallop, canter, trot, walk, plod or<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://doctorlobster.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/ploughing.html">plough</a></span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>a fresh and positive life-perspective is available. Connect with the invigorating aspects of the natural world to understand your own strength and the value of community. There are many roads. All of them have delicious views. All of them lead to the Dark Heart of the Woods in which you can know your every dream but where you have to sacrifice one in order to live the rest. This will be the hardest item of the year, what will you relinquish from your stubborn grasp in order that the Trail of your Life leads through the Valley of Delight?<br /><br />Much love<br /><br />Doctor Lobster<o:p></o:p></span></h4>

The story normally runs that the products of your childhood decline rather than get better.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Often measured by how closely the product matches the photo on the package. Back in your youth it invariably seemed a better fit. This was never more evident than in the case of the Iced Zoo biscuit whose reality of obscure white sugary animal-blobs on fields of green, pink, orange or (yum) blue never matched the crystal-clear packaging pictures.<o:p></o:p></div>

Yet something pretty strange yet rewardingly positive appears to have happened.

A nostalgic purchase of a pack of Iced Zoo<span style="font-family: 'MS 明朝', serif;">’</span>s (for the children of course) revealed that the animal on the biscuit does in fact resemble the packaging in far more recognizable form than any of us ever recalled! Somebody got a new biscuit factory<span style="font-family: 'MS 明朝', serif;">…</span><o:p></o:p></div>

I also sent a pack of these biscuits to Nicey to review on his 'nice cup of tea and a sit-down' site back in 2003 – read it <a href="http://nicecupofteaandasitdown.com/biscuits/previous.php3?item=65">here</a>:<br />

It might also be a decent corroboration of the belief many of my friends (Topangans in particular) have that the world is shifting. The warmongers and con artist politicians have suffered reverses and are in retreat. Yes, they are not routed. Their starvation-economy, fear-driven inability to do-the-right-thing-and-allow-the-world-to-become-a-better-place means they<span style="font-family: 'MS 明朝', serif;">’</span>ll cling to power like the devils they are. So long as we fire flowers of light and lovebombs of peace this shift will prevail. The improvement of the Iced Zoo<span style="font-family: 'MS 明朝', serif;">’</span>s is all the indicator I need<span style="font-family: 'MS 明朝', serif;">…</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

This is the positive message<span style="font-family: 'MS 明朝', serif;">…</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
But wait<span style="font-family: 'MS 明朝', serif;">…</span> this is sadly not all<span style="font-family: 'MS 明朝', serif;">…</span> The Light that is Monsieur Polo has slipped this mortal coil. His was a super charged and enviable existence. His life-pattern was broad and varied, delighting others and drawing to him numerous equally wonderful folk from so many walks of life. The feeling is that we are robbed of great riches with his early departure. Many will suffer much more than I from having been far closer to him than myself (sweet Livia, my heart aches for you).<o:p></o:p></div>

Death might as well shout itself hoarse for all the attention we tend to give it until its oft-untimely arrival. His passage reminded me that there are many ways to prepare for death but all of them involve living. Polo Lived Deeply. It was why he was so fun to be around. He inspired me to find ways to live in community but free from the constraints and taboos of society. Polo<span style="font-family: 'MS 明朝', serif;">’</span>s journey continues somehow, somewhere, free now from Earthly constraint.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Many may criticize my writing of biscuits and a departed friend in the same article but I loved them both and was surprised by both. One thing as inconsequential as anything yet that did, in its moment, delight and the other whose import has yet to be fathomed – if it ever will. And as I also owe God a death, I will also owe you a Life. And in my attempt to part with my socially-imposed self-consciousness I will continue to share slight slices from it. No matter how inappropriately combined. Juxtaposition has its place in reminding us of the importance of life.<o:p></o:p></div>

My travels have taken me past a two recurring themes -
Dinosaurs and Octopi. I’ve seen lots of both in lots of places. I suppose when
you travel with one you tend to notice the others around too. And that’s Hairy the
Eighth - my orange travel pal – I am talking about not the Gherkmobile my old green
Subaru. Which as you can see here, has acquired a lot of “Houding”* but is
still of this century so NOT a dinosau. </div>

* Houding – Afrikaans word meaning (by my definition) the
act of ‘being wood’. Sort of what wood does. But it refers to having cool character, a
bit like Jeff Bridges’ The Dude and not like Keanu Reeves’s acting. </div>

I did feel a little Jurassic in my ways when I stayed at the
Earthships (http://earthship.com/) in Taos, New Mexico – super extraordinary. Why
am I (and the rest of the planet) still so reliant on fossil fuels? It was
incredible to see an alternative way of living. These houses are the embodiment
of my visions for my own fantasy home. Not only are they superb for the planet
by way of sustainability, off the grid but still on the web, they’re houses
with sexy curves, a colour pallet I appreciate and in a climate that gives me
so much energy. I came for 2 nights and stayed 5. Many thanks to Mme Jedellicious
for ensuring my journey included these inspirations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Anyway along the way I also encountered these old dinosaurs.
And found myself wishing that all of their kind were extinct. And that wasn’t a
‘real’ wish – that is, my telling you that doesn’t mean it won’t come true! Because
one day it will, all the world’s tanks will be as fossilized as these. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Near the Earthships, I met a young man (Shann) on the bridge
over the Rio Grande (scene of previous adventures on the film Paul in 2009)
selling crystals. We had a very nice connection and I had dinner with him and
his girlfriend Rio at their house in the middle of nowhere yet randomly near a
beautiful Buddhist Stupa… some of his final words to me was suggesting that one
might increase one’s fuel efficiency by strapping a double-terminated crystal
to one’s fuel line. Given that I have just driven 7000 miles and have another
1000 miles to go it seems a super appropriate moment (in the interests of Science)
to test such a theory and get a side-by-side comparison. Consequently I really
do remain In Pursuit of Magic. Crystal Magic!</div>

While cycling the streets of cool East Village in the
boiling New York City summer, I had to make way for a surly, growly, muttering,
hard-nosed junky-nutter making his belligerent way across the street like some hell-bent
alcoholic Taliban, determined on unpleasantness. Alarmed by his negativity I gave
him a wide berth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Beyond him on the far side of the street were 4 emo NYU
students, 3 girls and a guy. Only recently of this world and young enough to
still know everything - just kids, just hanging. As I passed them I heard the
girl closest the street, slightly separated from the herd, declare, tearfully,
“He’s ruined my day”. Something about wanting to right an injustice popped in
me. I looped around and cycled straight back to them. She backed away from me
as I came closer, very cautious she was, once bitten twice shy for sure. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I halted and asked “I could not but overhear, did you say he
ruined your day?” pointing at the Nutjob, who was at this point ruining a
cyclist’s day further down the street. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yes” she said </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Totally” the rest exclaimed. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To which I cheerfully replied - “Well I am here to change
that and reverse your unfortunate fortune. I have here a thing almost unique.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And pulled from my pocket my wallet, and from my wallet a
folded bill. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I have here a –“ -<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“2-dollar bill!” finished the lone male in the pack. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yes – it is and legal tender too. But see here, on it is
stenciled the words ‘In Pursuit of Magic’. And you can have it. Hopefully it
will make your day”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She, with dropping jaw, “Can I keep it?” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Of course”, I said as I cycled off, “Changing the world one
smile at a time…” and on my way I went. I’ve done this sort of gifting thing a
few times and feel its best to give the gift and begone so the gift remains
just exactly that, free from any other expectation or conversation. That they
may just marvel at the arbitrary and funny nature of life’s vagaries and what
comes from hanging on the streets of New York.</div>

As I left they stared and laughed and I felt good for being
a random act of kindness. Until I remembered what compassion is really about
and that while my time was well spent with these few it would’ve been better
spent had I given that magically transformed note and charitable action to the
grumbler who is clearly in a far worse way and knoweth not the harm he does
himself by harming others. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Yes of course such an attempt may’ve ended badly for me but
this brings to mind the decisions we make in life. What we choose to do, the
meaning we bring into our lives. The things we find worthwhile. One of the
hardest things in life is not to be seen. To be ignored. Living in solitary
confinement on the streets of the city. It is a brutal thing. Aside from
execution, solitary confinement is the worst punishment our society can think
up. So giving a person on the fringes of society time and attention serves us
well in our own attempt to find equanimity with everything. Helping yourself by helping others...</div>

And on a completely different note here is some news... <br />
<br />
That all happened in NYC recently after my many weeks in Montauk.
All of which were very well spent giving attention to words, waves and the
steady stream of amazing folks that wander through one’s life. </div>

But now, dear Reader – you find me in holed up bandit-like
in Spearfish, South Dakota en route across the USA to LA via Burning Man. I
have already aided in the digging up of a dinosaur bone, suffered a front
differential leak, covered 2000 miles through 10 states (minor brushes with the
law in 4 of them), broken ribs instead of bread with an old friend and her
family, written love in light, run around Devil’s Tower and as soon as I send
this I am off on a hike to who knows where but I bet I’ll see something
exquisite in this pleasant land!</div>

Emotions are things that happen to us. They arise and either
stay or go. I don’t choose to feel love, gratitude, jealousy etc. Either I do
or I don’t in just the same way I never chose to like avocado’s more than
capers but I do - oh so much. Thankfully one does have some ability to temper
our responses to our emotions but we can’t control their occurrence within us. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have a lot to be grateful for. And while reflecting on my
day-to-day life recently, I was struck by the relative scarcity of spontaneous
upwellings of the gratitude emotion within it. This bothers me. Why aren’t there
more? Am I taking things for granted? Is it a ‘not so subtle’ consequence of an
old pattern of always seeing the negative in a situation? Or a more subtle
response to me trying to maximize or improve a situation and thereby not
accepting the beauty inherent in the moment? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One manifestation of this is my apparent inability to
consistently remember to give thanks before ingesting something. To say grace
if you will. Such a simple thing to do and such a good reminder of Gratitude
but I just forget and forget again while rushing ahead to scoff the wares in
front of me. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But when I think of people smiling out there in the world
because of something I did then I do feel good and grateful.</div>

lives of people - ideally in fairly large numbers. And that means putting a
smile on the faces of a lot of people I don’t know. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is generally easy to make someone smile. Smiles are free
so for the most part people are quick to offer them. Yes, there are false
smiles and folks smile while confused or upset or just to be polite. All of
that is fine. It’s not for me to reason why – I just get a warm fuzzy whenever
I do make someone smile. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
To succeed in entrepeneurship one has to sell or provide a product
to many people one has never met, never will meet and barely have anything in
common with. Similarly I want to create the hope in
my life that I have added a smile to the dial of many-a-folk I just won’t ever
know. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To do this I have to increase my creative output and acquire
a broader audience through a product. I have actually
met each of you that I mailed this to. Please don’t begrudge a desire to go
broader and send missives into the further reaches of wider humanity so that I
can believe that I have caused many more smiles than I know about. And as a
result feel good myself! </div>

I am in Montauk on the Eastern tip of Long Island, New York
State. I have rented a 3-bedroom house with friends Warwick,
Patricia, Darren and Deia plus their kids Zoe and Leon. They’re largely there
on weekends and I’m largely there all the time. I will be here for most of the summer,
ending it by driving across the USA to Burning Man. </div>

Here's the routine: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
* Breach the surface of this world from the Ocean of Slumber</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
* Write my free-flow, mind clearing, dream-catching Morning
Pages</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
* Stand on my spiky Veda mat to invigorate and aid a rapid
awakening</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
* Meditate purely on my breath and the sensations present in
my body </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
* Do a spot of Neuro-linguistic programming in the form of
‘Recycling’</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
* Handwrite the acquired set of positive affirmations into my
visual diary.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
* Sacrifice something to the great Stomach we all live to
serve</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
* Do some exercise.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
* Write, write, write </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
* Then and only then check my email before writing again.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

seeking to turn base experience into literature. Drawing it from myself may
prove tricky with all the distractions modern and traditional I allow into my

Still in the Big Apple,
still suffering the ignominy of a 2 not 4-day Easter Weekend. By planning ahead
this year, I was able to eat the buns of delight at work for breakfast so did
not spend the day fearing for my immortal soul. My single strand of potential
ascendance to dogma heaven continues albeit as tenuous as ever. And here they are … this time I bought a bunch so I could do
some valuable missionary work with the locals, a heathen lot – many had never
had one in their lives! <br />

Other folk’s traditions often look pretty good but really I
think this is a lot to do with the grass being greener on the other side.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yet isn’t that phrase just meant to make us happy with our lot,
no matter what it’s state? Look down, look around, what is the state of your
patch? Lush and full, or sketchy and dry, overgrown, out of control, filled
with weeds or stones. Chances are it needs some tending. Looks great?
Maintenance is still required! And by tending I mean spending good old quality
time, digging in the dirt of your life because that is what this is really
about.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fingers in, kneading the soils that provide for the roots of
your joys. You may find a lot of hard things, sticks and stones and all the
names people have called you! They’ll need removing so the lawn can grow
evenly, each root able to find its way to the blades they support immediately
above</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Its ok to leave the fun and curious things, a mushroom or
little wild flower are great but if something will pervade and takeover - it should go.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And if you don’t then the phrase is likely to also lose all
meaning… if your grass ain’t green then why would the neighbor think it is!<br />

Here in New York I only have 2 trays printed to look like grass... Here is a pic of me lovingly laying a lawn I once had. It is an
old picture and reminds me of the joy of tending one’s grass. Do it while you
still have it, before the last Sparrow flies. </div>

Also you never know when a butterfly might

It is extraordinary how fast things can change but I no
longer consider the Medieval Wheel of Fortune an accurate model. Yes Fate is
blind and She’ll spin you a merry dance but I do believe the Sun can rise on
one man without having to set on any other. Even if we aren’t truly free, we
have to act as if we are! We can live in abundance, take down the fence, let our
grasses grow as One.</div>
