A final seasonal installment, as we delve into the deep dark. You can trace the themes of other solstices and equinoxes in earlier episodes. And don’t forget if you like this, you can gooi me the cost of a cuppa at my Ko-Fi page. Original article on the Substack, of course.

Another opportunity to explore on the podcast the series of trajectories we humans have available to us, as we journey through as embodied spirits. You can find all the previous episodes here on the podcast, and the original articles here on the Substack. And Happy autumn equinox! (You can find my reflections from last year about this time, “Brown Trust”, elsewhere on this podcast too).

Audio version of two Substack articles from this series. An overview of my time in Norfolk, in its county town of Norwich (where I was born); with friends and family in the south of England; and finally ‘escaping’ for a while by landing on the other big island in the British archipelago, Ireland.

Continuing my philosophical-spiritual embodied look at the dimensions in which we should travel in life - along the third trajectory, this time going external, towards the boundary, which may allow us further than we think. The written versions of all these ‘Life Dimensions’ meditations are on the Substack, the audio versions here on the podcast.

Continuing the journey I spent this past July, through northern France and to ancient places in the south of the island across the way. Some of which involved family gatherings, but in between we managed to take in lots of things with fresh eyes. All previous episodes can be found on the podcast, or in written version on the Substack.

A series capturing in pithier form (hopefully) the thoughts I expressed in my travel series on Central Europe and Mexico. You can find the original words to these poems in the Thickly Mulched Words section of the website.
