Firefly: numb
http://fireflypresents.blogspot.com/2008/05/numb.html
Nostalgia is my basic nature. The human condition my only subject. I like words because they cement the quicksand into which we're always sinking. May 21, 2008. Often, I find myself quite numb. Numb to crowds. to conversation. numb to good coffee. numb to a perfectly ripe avocado. I am numb to other people’s news, their engagements, their pregnancies. numb to global warming and bombings and civil wars. numb to my meditation. I am numb to my thoughts. fickle bastards. Often, i find myself quite numb.

Firefly: How Mindful Can I Be This May?
http://fireflypresents.blogspot.com/2013/05/how-mindful-can-i-be-this-may.html
Nostalgia is my basic nature. The human condition my only subject. I like words because they cement the quicksand into which we're always sinking. May 1, 2013. How Mindful Can I Be This May? So, I recognise that updating my blog every two years isn't keeping you engaged. And, it's not like I've been sitting on my arse either. Well, until now. This May, I've committed to sitting on my arse every day, for a good cause. You see, my inspiring friend Elise Bialylew. Two weeks ago, I wrote a handful of my soul...

Firefly: my blog is considering forgiving me
http://fireflypresents.blogspot.com/2009/09/hey-baby.html
Nostalgia is my basic nature. The human condition my only subject. I like words because they cement the quicksand into which we're always sinking. September 6, 2009. My blog is considering forgiving me. Oh dear. a year has passed since i held this page. As i slip in quietly between the sheets of "new post" and "publish now", firefly lies still, showing me its naked back, pretending to be asleep. But i know how to push its buttons. i know where it likes to be touched. Good to have you back! I love the web.

Firefly: i think, therefore i think i am aligned
http://fireflypresents.blogspot.com/2010/07/its-alignment-stupid.html
Nostalgia is my basic nature. The human condition my only subject. I like words because they cement the quicksand into which we're always sinking. July 10, 2010. I think, therefore i think i am aligned. The secret behind The Secret", she said, "is that the conscious and the unconscious need to be aligned.". How could i have missed that one? Manifesting busily all day, asking for lemons, doused in lemonade. and wondering what the karma i'm doing wrong. I think, therefore i think i am. And that's how, afte...

Firefly: risk enchantment
http://fireflypresents.blogspot.com/2009/09/risk-enchantment.html
Nostalgia is my basic nature. The human condition my only subject. I like words because they cement the quicksand into which we're always sinking. September 5, 2009. I see a similarity. Between the Laughing Woman. I have heard the sound of summer. I have seen girls on board walks. I understand their hesitations. I am a gatherer of fruit. I have seen how kisses. I have risked enchantment. I have seen the Virgin. In an appletree at Chartres. And Saint Joan burn. At the Bella Union. Their necks like love.

Firefly: Have i been Byron Bay'd?
http://fireflypresents.blogspot.com/2008/06/have-i-been-byron-bayd.html
Nostalgia is my basic nature. The human condition my only subject. I like words because they cement the quicksand into which we're always sinking. June 19, 2008. Have i been Byron Bay'd? I’ve had quite a remarkable couple of weeks. But I couldn’t tell you why. It’s easier to believe the physicists when they say that time bends, when the eternity of blah I trudged through turns out to have been only a month, and the week since the sun rose again feels like a year at least. Shanti, Tamara and I rented this.

http://fireflypresents.blogspot.com/2013/05/mim-day-5-meditation-isnt-improving-but.html
Nostalgia is my basic nature. The human condition my only subject. I like words because they cement the quicksand into which we're always sinking. May 5, 2013. MIM Day 5: Meditation isn't improving, but life is. Does it count if the quality. Of my distractions are improving? Today was unimpressive. No quiver. No mesmerising mental zoom onto a single perfect point. But, something is. Happening. My mind is calmer. Strangely, not necessarily during meditation - but out in the world. Labels: Mindful in May.

Firefly: MIM Day 1: Long way from pillow to cushion
http://fireflypresents.blogspot.com/2013/05/mim-day-1-long-way-from-pillow-to.html
Nostalgia is my basic nature. The human condition my only subject. I like words because they cement the quicksand into which we're always sinking. May 1, 2013. MIM Day 1: Long way from pillow to cushion. Today was a remembrance. Hard as it was to get my butt to that cushion, the first whiff of silence was just like meeting an old friend. from 2007. Okay, back to the here-and-now. Will try to remember: in this spaciousness, everything is allowed. Longwinded speech is exhausting. What is this about? Subscr...

Firefly: MIM Day 22: War and Grace
http://fireflypresents.blogspot.com/2013/05/mim-day-22-war-and-grace_22.html
Nostalgia is my basic nature. The human condition my only subject. I like words because they cement the quicksand into which we're always sinking. May 22, 2013. MIM Day 22: War and Grace. There is a stillness inside. Amazing, really. Considering we're hurtling through space at 1610km/hr, I'm tired, hungry, and am having (so are you) 60,000 thoughts a day. Some days, my minutes of mindfulness gather and become a way of being. I feel it in my eyes. In this moment, my chest feels like a lake, reflec...My mi...
