What Happens to the Yes Men Sadhguru?

What Happens to the Yes Men Sadhguru?

I ask myself and others the question ‘why in the workplace are there YES MEN?’ Meaning, why do people, instead of taking the hard road, always say ‘Yes, yes, yes’ to their bosses, even when they know what is being asked is either wrong or the disagree with ‘yes boss!’  How can the YES MEN go home each night to their children and teach them to be brave, unique and strong in this world? How can…

So, I Got Fired, but Did I Really Get Fired?

So, I Got Fired, but Did I Really Get Fired?

So, I got fired.  Yes, super focused, extremely diligent, ingrained with a terribly hard work philosophy, committed to work, dedicated to work, work to work, then fired from work – that’s me. To someone like me this was incredibly unexpected expected, if that makes sense. I must have known something was coming. My friend who I send private podcast too across the seas had received not on message…

Day 30 - Atalaia De Norte - Amazonia

Day 30 – Atalaia De Norte – Amazonia

Pitt stop Amazonia for seven days. How fabulous. After having arrived late the previous evening and offered a hearty meal Amazon style by the volunteers a Palmeiras Eco Lodge, we woke to a first class view of the Amazon River. By first class I mean, the river was just there, right in front of us. Palmeiras, our current home of course offered no such first class comforts – but heck – we are in…

Lose Yourself with @bizarredoctor

Lose Yourself with @bizarredoctor The not so ordinary.

Need to get your mind off the banal? Need to remind yourself that life isn’t about just turning one daily page to the next? Need to get creative or just focus on the seemingly unfathomable? Or do you just want to spend some time scrolling through a feed that doesn’t want to sell you something but perhaps does want to, quite consciously, kick you out of your comfort zone. Welcome to the…

Instafind - For the Curious

Instafind – For the Curious

The @thecollageempire you won’t find only awesome collages. You will however find curious pictures and videos that prompt the mind. To what? Prompt the mind to do what? Well the mind firstly has to assess what is being presented and when done so it has to formulate ideas about its own interpretation of the seen. From the creative to the perspective, from colour to mind trips, to minuscule worms…

Day 29, Amazon Bound - The Daily Write

Well, this was one heck of a day. Jumping out of bed at 2:30 am to be at Quito’s main airport by 4:00 am to jump on a flight to Bogota and then jump on another flight to Leticia. Even though we were all somewhat travel-weary, we were happy to board the plane for a two hour trip to Leticia, the southernmost city in Columbia. With twenty minutes to go, […]

Namdeo Dhasal - Two Poems

Namdeo Dhasal – Two Poems

Their Eternal Pity Their eternal pity — no taller than a pimp on Falkland Road. No pavilion put up in the sky for us. Lords of wealth. They are locking up light in those vaults of theirs \ In this life, carried by a whore, not even the sidewalks are ours Made so beggarly it is nausea to be human, Cannot fill our gut even with shrivelled dirt. Each new just day supports them as if bribed— not a…

Day 28, Quito Town, Most Dangerous. Really?

Day 28, Quito Town, Most Dangerous. Really?

When talking to travellers en route Quito is a conversation stopping point. By that I mean, faces tighten, breath is held and a recounting of bed experiences prevail.

Quito has a reputation of being quite a dangerous city for travellers in terms of pickpockets, getting robbed and being drugged.

With all of the lead up stories going into Quito it is hard not to walk through the streets…

Pablo Neruda's Poetry - It's Life Itself

Pablo Neruda’s Poetry – It’s Life Itself

Ah Pablo, to be able to express the constant of life and its intricacies in such relatable poetry – a true gift for all of us.

I Do Not Love You Because I Love You

I do not love you except because I love you;  I go from loving to not loving you, From waiting to not waiting for you My heart moves from cold to fire.

I love you only because it’s you the one I love;  I hate you deeply, and…

And In The Understanding, I Chuckle

One Night In Bangkok

It was the loud cackle telling Reggie she was headed in the right direction. Even though it had been over ten years since she had been with Evie or Sarah, she recognised that bellowing hyena laugh anywhere. 

Evie scored the title of laughing hyena from Reggie when they were all at school together. Reggie even went so far as to print and frame a picture of a hyena in a supposed mouth wide cackle…

Scorched - A Short Story

Scorched – A Short Story

It’s hot as hell out here. The kind of dry heat where body movement requires an upheaval of force. Decisions are never over-thought, for if they are, there is every likelihood they to will disappear into the unreachable oasis of water always up ahead and out of reach, on the highway.

The fifteen hundred kilometre drive west bore me witness the vibrant coastal colour and life that is Sydney, to…

Ah, life!

Ah life, it’s an abundantly tricky balance. It comes in leaps and swirls, it comes in peaceful serenity, it comes in joyous moments, times of sadness and times of utter disbelief. But here we are all in it. Together.

To me it is not a strange thought to always want to level up, to improve, to expect the best of not only myself but of others too – but geez, it’s not always that easy is it? For we…

The Paramo Trek - Colombia

The Paramo Trek – Colombia

Ah, the Paramo. You find it in the Northern Andes and Central America. You find it only above the timberline. It’s unique because it’s tropical and ecologists say it is the fasting evolving ecosystem on the planet.

Unlike any landscape, I have ever seen. The Paramo blossoms with hundred-year-old cacti like trees called Frailejones. In the high altitude, with the hot then cold wind snapping at…
