Essential Pausing

Essential Pausing

The greatest creativity comes from the in-between. The not doing, not trying, not working space.

Wrestling with a problem is exactly that. Wrestling with a problem. It is only when we let it go that the answer comes.

The difficulty is found in the willingness to let go. When every fibre of our being says keep working it. Keep holding tight.

The walk around the lake, the baking of a cake, the attention to any form of beauty, this is where we will find the solution. It may come in minutes, it may take days. But in beauty and pausing, stepping into the infinite, the answer is to be found.

PS. You may have noticed I took a pause. It was essential to my being and to the future body of work to remain coherent and in integrity. While I will continue to write Beauty, it may not be every day. I seek now to write when there is something to be said. I appreciate your readership.

It keeps us awake at night. We eat and drink too much to try and silence its presence. Fear can serve us well or diminish us. Without fear, we would be eaten by lions. A healthy...

March 10th 2026 The false economy of measurement The false economy of measurement What we love to measure now. In business How much profit we make, our costs, efficiency, performance, ROI, sales. In life How much money we make, how heavy we are, how much stuff we have, how young we look, how we compare with Jill and Bob and Paul and Sue. How would life be if we measured things like.. Has any child gone hungry tonight? Has any child been sold as a sex slave? How many weapons did we NOT make,...

March 17th 2026 Bombshell Bombshell An absolute bombshell Breaking news This is a bombshell revelation A bombshell. The whiplash of being bombarded with the next corruption. The next cruelty. The next lie and lie and lie and lie. And lie. Until it is impossible to believe anyone we elected. The election itself. The system. Built on a platform that serves the designers. Turning those of us fortunate enough not to be bombed, starved, exploited, demeaned and sanctioned, into stunned, exhausted,...
