Nature's truths played against themselves, by creating us as the plastic honeybee drawn to the amber nectar of the everlasting blooms. We are one with nature. We are part of nature and nature is part of us. When we sit in nature, we are nourished by its presence and we receive joy in its proximity.… Continue reading Creating Fake Flora.

“To be” of service or “not to be” of help.
To be in a place of service to all around you, is to be in a place of flow. It is the destination of so much of our work on our own growth and development, that looks to put aside our fears, our addictions and our negative patterns “to be”. That place of being, is… Continue reading “To be” of service or “not to be” of help.
Land Driven Architecture
I had an assumption that land was the main driver around all architecture, in built form and the designed landscape. That the place, the physical plain that I was working with, would be the first place that we would find inspiration and define how the design, for whatever was placed upon it, would develop.

Festival words

As the festival of Samhain approaches, I am being challenged to recognise that I need to change my thinking towards certain aspects of my conditioning or my assumptions of the way the world has been portrayed. I have been made very aware that… Continue reading Festival words
