I took the kayak out for it’s maiden voyage yesterday (well maiden for me anyway). I can see it’s going to take some time for us to get used to each other. In my previous post, I talked about access rights to the rivers, well we decided to forgo bothering...

WOW! Times has a sneaky way of passing by. I’ve spent the last three weeks in Aviemore, Scotland surrounded by the beautiful Cairngorm Mountains. Unfortunately it was not a trip of leisure. I was working with a client helping them get their call center staff trained up to handle calls...

Yes, yes, I’m still around. I’ve been busy (but who isn’t busy right?). At the moment I’m on a contract up in the highlands of Scotland in a little mountain village called Aviemore. I’ve been keeping notes in my paper notebook, so perhaps when I’m finished here I’ll spend sometime...

I’ve been stuck inside an office building for over 10 weeks with little time to get outside and play in the great outdoors. I’ve had just about enough! Today, I drove down to the Sea, my second spiritual home after the mountains, and spent some time meditating to the crash...

The gears are shifting. I am unsure where the ride will take me next. The question is can I control the destination or is control an exercise in futility, an illusion designed to give the perception of control, when in reality we have no control. I have lived a lifetime...

So where has Clay been? Nowhere but inside my own head. It’s a dangerous place indeed.

3 March 2005 I’ve found the key to thing I’ve been searching for – the elusive goal. I’ve known this thing in the past, but have not known it enough to name it, only to experience it. In fact, it is nameless. People have tried to name – I have...

I bought a heart rate monitor yesterday. I hemmed and hawed for a few days trying to decide which model to buy. There are some many different models each with a ton of features and it seems that no one HR monitor, apart from the super expensive ones, has all...

You scored as Summer. You are SUMMER. Life is to be -lived-.. dance, sing, and make merry. Adversity is simply something to overcome. You embrace life with both arms, not only because you love it, but to squeeze out of it all that you can. Summer 100% Winter 65% Spring...

Talk about meeting interesting people…last night I went out with the team I’m working with for a meal and a few drinks. After they all called it an evening, I started wandering back to the little hole in the wall of a hotel I was staying in, which apparently is...

The last scene in my dream I remember is looking in a closet. The closet floor was covered with clothes, jackets, boxes, and a lot of other miscellaneous items. A green raincoat caught my eye because I thought it was my Gortex jacket. I pulled this green raincoat from underneath...

I must be undergoing phase change as I’m feeling a bit emotionally detached, unable to hold on to a concrete feeling. My rational mind, of course, has moved in to fill the void. Being more in tune with my emotions/intuition/spirit than my intellect, this is causing me some difficulty because...

I had an odd thought while washing the spaghetti stained dishes at midnight. I was thinking about the various ways folks in the business I’m in go about marketing themselves and I thought in a lot of cases, well in most cases, they/we parade ourselves around like cheap tarts on...

The end of a long work week has finally arrived. I decided to entertain the team today by eating a live worm for every piece of product they sold. I swear I can still feel the worms squirming around in my belly.

I’ve been away from my fictional world for a few days. I started redesigning my website and got caught up in the excitement of making some forward progress or should I say some visible forward progress. The fruits of my labor were immediately perceived. Whereas, my fiction seems to be...

I’m touching places in the depths of my soul that i haven’t touched in a long long time…and it feels good, good to be alive, awake from an enchanted lumbering lifeless dream…

Nobody told me writing a novel was so slow, well slow for me anyway. Good news is I’m making forward progress. What I do find strange in the telling of the tale is that I’m finding myself living in two worlds, one real, one somewhere between the shadows of reality.

I miss the smell of your perfume Lingering Lingering with me Reminding me Reminding me that somewhere in this savage land Someone loves me Loves me Have we forgotten Forgotten how to be romantic? Sick with puppy-love I want to return Return to the warmth of your embrace. Are you...

Where did it all begin? Where will it end? What happened in the middle?
