Seeing through the cracks.

Each of us starts out as a watertight vessel. And then 'life' happens - people leave us, or don’t love us, or don’t get us, or we don’t get them, and we lose and fail and hurt one another. And we start to crack in places. And once our once watertight vessel cracks open, the end becomes inevitable. But there is always more time than you think between when the cracks start to open up and when we finally fall apart. And its only when we crack that we get the gift of truly seeing one another. When we can see out of ourselves through our own cracks and into others through theirs, that is when we truly see each other.
Until then we are just looking at ideas of each other, projecting ourselves onto closed curtains, but never seeing inside. Once the vessel cracks, light can get in and your light can shine out. (inspired by John Green "Paper Towns")

What is Confidence?

When my life de-railed in 1999 I fled to the Lake District to search for meaning, inner wisdom and the confidence that my earlier life had lacked. Five years later I returned to Gloucestershire and rebuilt my life. Here is a video interview from 2009 where I share some of the insights I gained from my time in Cumbria.
