Someone is waving.
Sad and lonely, I wave back.
They’re hailing a cab.

LIVING IN THE LIGHT OF THE SACRED HEART
LIVING IN THE LIGHT OF THE SACRED HEART New Release: Finding the Flow in the Sacred Heart Good morning or evening, depending on your location on planet Earth, everyone! After a bit of a whirlwind week, I found my way back to the water. Today’s release is a very personal collaboration between my original photography from the California and Texas coasts and new meditation music created with Suno and Vicki. Consulting Pro were Copilot and Gemini. Images received animation treatment in META.

I wanted to title this something different, but worried that my chosen title might cause problems entering the United States in the future so this is the new title. It's the greatest title. No one has ever written a title better than this. (All titles unrelated to content).
Let me be honest. I am finding this difficult. Now, I like a challenge, a stretch, a bit of an obstacle course. “Write about the decline of the British Empire in the form of a narrative poem in which your protagonist is an artichoke” I read, and flex my fingers. “Write a haiku to evoke the sensation of sibilance using only the first half of the alphabet.” “Well”, I think to myself, “this should be fun.” But “write about a system that isn’t working”? A system that isn’t working? Now? In 2026? ONE system? My favourite system that isn’t working? The sexiest system that isn’t working? The one giving me the most angst day to day? The one giving me the most existential dread? I am, as I say, finding this difficult. I will own that I have contemplated writing a thousand words on why the steady “all on” setting on my fairy lights is the EIGHTH of seven options which must be sequentially activated to get there, because that is a system that some fool came up with and it definitely doesn’t work, and now who is paying the price, eh? But how can I write about my fairy lights when…. When…. When….
