Words.

I’ve not had much sleep recently.
…So, I’ve kept a notebook under my pillow and written.
No edits. No corrections.
Just… words.

El Qué Diran?

“What will They say?”
That’s my mother’s favourite mantra to chant morning to night… and probably in her sleep, too.

See… in my mother’s eyes, and the community I’m from, you cannot live your life for yourself.

No. You are the all singing, all dancing puppet living your life out on a stage. The Truman Show was based on the lives of people from my background.

Go Away, World.

You poke.
I blink.
I accept.
I carry on.

Ammerdown: The People.

If you ever want to witness humanity and compassion, you must visit Ammerdown.
I admire these people so much, and want to be like them! So much patience and love in each single individual.

Happy Independence Day, Bangladesh.

It’s been 42 years since the bloody Liberation War when Bangladesh was absolutely pillaged, burned, raped…
42 years since Bangladesh has been able to celebrate its own independence, its own governance, its own language.
It’s a fairly new country, but it was a country born of pride and struggle.

Ammerdown: 1 – Importance of Interfaith Dialogue

This workshop was delivered by Kalsoom Bashir and Farzana Saker who do so much for interfaith work in Bristol.
…It was interesting, and refreshing, how they set about delivering the workshop.

…Dalí’s going on a retreat.

So, I started this blog when I went on an intensive course in Latvia about Sustainability…
I’m about to head to Ammerdown, in Somerset, to attend a retreat (possibly spiritual – I’m still not sure) for young people.
