  • Day One Hundred Twenty Four, May 26, 2011

    Nature is to most of us a place of peace and harmony. It is so because its laws are constant, reliable, reassuring. The sun rises every day, the moon keeps its regular cycle of waxing and waning, the seasons keep their repetitive cycle, the flowers keep blooming in the Spring and the bees keep coming…

    We are born into our relatively short lives and from the very first moment we start fighting, to take our first breath of air, to overcome the pains of growth, then onto the defeats that come with learning all there is to learn, to then find our place in a competitive and cut throat world…It…

    It was one of those days in Shanghai where the rain drizzles on and on in a steady lazy rhythm. We took the long slow drive to the airport and ended up both sleeping on the way, her with her music, me with the hum of the car engine and the gentle tapping of the…
