Too Many Tabs Open
I’ve got too many tabs open in my head. Even at night I don’t close them just in case they disappear forever. A classmate I admired, the name of a...

Posted on Sun, 28 Apr 2024
I enjoyed the way you describe the branches as outstretched and welcoming of all. A tree holds no prejudice and they're such generous spirits but beautiful too, what more could you ask? We are planning to have a lovely mature cedar removed...

Posted on Thu, 02 May 2024
All this technology which is supposed to make life easy is leaving us incredibly vulnerable. There's something comforting about vinyl, you can hold it like a photograph and money too. The replacement of the physical with the virtual makes us feel...

Posted on Fri, 15 Mar 2024
Wow, that was like riding some rhyming river rapids, twists and turns, dunked then re-surfaced but fast flowing, dangerous in places. I agree with others, this should be performed because the little man who performs it inside my head doesn't do...

Love this, Jenny. It's like a massage. The drums played along with the words and those images from the natural world. It just works really well.
