making the web a living library of serendipity again
That's a sophisticated way of saying, I love the internet!
The ‘Soulcruzer’ podcast (more of an audioblog, really).
Expect a blend of mysticism and music, psyche and soul, everyday wisdom, and the esoteric. One day, I might be waxing lyrical about Nietzsche’s eternal return, and the next, uncovering the wisdom of the tarot. It’s all up for grabs on this pod.
So, if first-person confessional style podcasts are your jam, subscribe to mine wherever you get your podcasts. I’m on all of the major platforms.
I’m thrilled to bring back the Musical Journey Show! This is a nostalgic nod to my past, harking back to the days when I hosted on Radio Warwickshire. It’s been years since I’ve been down this path, but there’s something about 2025 that feels like the perfect moment for its revival. “Because you’ve gotta have goals” after all, and returning to the rhythm of this show is definitely one of mine.
OK. Finally I have done every thing that needs to be done before I hit the dusty trail. The plan is to hobo around Europe for 3 weeks mit packed out 4×4 and tent. I have a very loose plan, but mainly plan to play it by ear and see...
The time for our trip is growing closer. I can feel the pull of the open road. My mind has already begun to dissolve the ordinary world. I am now in that twilight period where I am neither here nor there. I am becoming more aware of the wisdom contained...

Lao Tzu wrote a wonderful book called the Tao Te Ching, the Book of the Way. In the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu expounds upon the teachings of the Tao, the universal force that governs all things. Technically speaking, one cannot be taught the Tao directly because as Lao Tzu...
may the road rise to meet you may the wind be always at your back may the sun shine warm upon your face the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his hand
I’m in Newcastle for the next couple of days. This is my first visit. I’m not quite sure what to make of the place yet. It’s been less than a day so I’ll reserve my opinion until later. How do you get to know a city? Hold that question because...
I decided to go for an early morning walk. I like to watch a city wake up. Even at 5am London is alive and pulsing. Workers are turning up to the big department stores to clean them and stock shelves. McDonalds is serving coffee. A call girl is on her...
I can see how easy it is to be surrounded by hundreds of people and yet still feel lonely. I am sitting outside a coffee house on Oxford Street watching all these people walk past. The odds are I will never cross paths with any of these people again. We...
Some of my favorite quotes from Spinoza: “The rational person is the one who strives always to increase his power, to change passion to action, and to secure for himself joy, independence and serenity that are the true marks of freedom. To achieve this condition, however, is to amend our...
