Hi All, thought I would update you on some recent musings!

In my latest blog post on Medium, I continue to explore truth in a series called The Truth Wars. This new one is called Munificent Minsets – tapping into our best selves.

Other articles in the series include I Can Neither Confirm of Deny, Burning Down The House, Thrumming the Web of Influence, and Are You Who I Think You Are?

In Munificent Mindsets I talk about pettiness and its role in being human, who we aspire to be, and will we ever get there.

You’ll find most of my current non fiction writing shared on LinkedIN. My work writing is based on neuroscience and leaership, and my Medium blog posts are personal thoughts and interest areas.

The truth has become a topic of fascination for me over the last year or so. Such a slippery little sucker and yet something many of us yearn for more of in our lives.

Enjoy! And as always comments are welcome.

And just a shout out to Bianca Samut, who’s allowing me to use her amazing illustrations on my Medium site. I’ve added one to this post so you can see!

Have you ever been frustrated as hell because you’re trying to do something and to get there you have to do a bunch of other things first? The concept is called Shaving the Yak, and on my latest MEDIUM post I ruminate on how it is a great metaphor for life in general i.e., How being human stops us from being who we want to be.

I also feature artwork fro Brisbane artist and potter, Bianca Samut.

The Marble Bar

Talk-weary, smiled out.

A retreat to the Marble Bar.

Speak-easy and sombre warmth.

Thoughts adrift towards a new life

and one past

quiver over diffident possibilities and the rattle of bar talk

Rising, crackling, ebbing.

And here alone, as always.
