on closing borders

Dearest friends,After much thought stretching across months, I have come to a decision that this me-out-there needs to be withdrawn to more bounded shores. It has become an intensely private space ov...

on traces

Ive been thinking a lot recently about who we are as persons, and about what remains when traces of others are taken away from us. I guess this partly stems from that age-old human fear: of not being...

on closeness at varied distances

For some five years now, Ive had a semi-real friend. Not an imaginary one, understand. He is very much real. But his realness was not the realness commonly expressed through physical co-presence. Ins...

on putting myself out there

on days that are past

These days Oxford and the UK have seen a resurgence of youthful seasons: sunshine, blueness, air that sticks, rather than repels. It seems for a brief while we have our summer after all. So Ive done ...

on moments faster than air

During the last five days my steady mask of safe dulness and reliable defense unexpectedly slipped and cracked and tore itself in half. In a rush of moments, too fast for reflection, I was swept away...

on new worlds and old friends

on home-bound travels, part 2

Food is a serious business at home. You eat to enjoy, complain, compare, make a point, imagine better, live bigger, laugh and pay back. You almost never eat alone. To do so would be to negate the bas...
