Are You Sleeping? – 22nd October 2026

Give your hopelessness a name

– Hibernate your dreams away –

The darkened cave cannot tame

Pretensions that will remain



Sleep through the alarm again

– Here’s a quiet hollow to stay –

Nurture that you can’t explain

What could I say but my name?

Inspired and mostly re-arranged words from this post at Tiny Hearts


Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

It’s Easy To Get Better But Better At What?

Self-improvement is a noble pursuit
Though vanity can corrupt the process
Getting better at stuff will dilute
The better person you wish to express

Hibernation – 19th July 2022

Waking up two hundred years from now
This must really be a decent age
The past will just seem as a dream
Painting old words to the page

Turn back now those two hundred years
This is a decent age here right now
Without comparison we are blind
To our own experiences somehow


What I am is constantly thrust into my face while I’m trying to be better than I am.

Gratitude Journal

I am so happy and grateful to have had a few days away in Bangkok and to be back at home again. I like to travel but I love my home more.
