The Difference Between Action and Contact, my new post at The Listening Room HQ – my men’s practice and The Polymath sister site – approaches the difference between action and contact in men’s lives.

Gemini New Moon, June 15 – The Things That Remain, my new post at The Polymath, is not an ordinary astrology post.
It starts with real every day life things, a song – The Irish Goodbye by Bernard Butler – conversations, a exhibition – Sentimento Monocromático (Monocromatic Feeling) by Gustavo Sanches de Castro, a poem – Na Spailpíní Fánacha (The Wandering Spailpín) read by Ian Duhig – a radio show – RTE Arena 100 – to arrive to what, for me, endures.
There’s pigeons, swings, sliders, ice creams, conversations too. You can read the full post here.

Of Playfulness and Curiosity is my lived reflection on curiosity and playfulness and rediscovering wonder in everyday life. Swinging on playground swings, hugging trees, winding paths, and rediscovering wonder through small acts of attention that awaken perception. It can be read on The Polymath site.
