Isolation

Now there is nothing wrong with being isolated. In fact it has been the most expanding, self-teaching, biggest learning experience of my life so far. So much has been allowed to freely change and grow in the place which I currently inhabit but it has reached its natural end. It is time to move into a town where the community lives and begin sharing the footpaths again.

I will have lived in what some could genuinely call 'isolation' for a year. That's enough time. I had the opportunity to grow food in a huge garden but it passed me by. The neighbours love to hear me playing piano, they are friendly (the 6 neighbours that there are) and it's been a wonderful time.

When I leave work, or a friends, or a gig and drive up the road to come home, when i am driving from civilisation into a village that probably only has a few hundred inhabitants, up the quiet empty track to the quiet cottage... it feels like i've just run away from everything. It feels like I am a million miles away from family, friends and loved ones. Of course this is an illusion as I am always in constant cuddle distance of my loving, wonderful lady... but sometimes we all need different interactions with different people. I know she feels the same too. We're going to be a family soon and it is my belief that the closer we are to more people, the better it will be for everybody.

I am a social person. I love interaction. It's time to interact now :)

Fatherhood and Babies

A beautiful woman is carrying my baby, carrying her baby... carrying a baby. A person created by two people growing inside one of those people who helped to create that person... It blows my mind every time I think about it.

Gina, a woman who I love, has committed to one of the most challenging yet beautiful acts of creation there could possibly be. Nurturing and protecting a life inside her body until the day arrives (approximately the 24th July!!) when that very life will join us in the world outside the womb. Does that growth only lie with the mother though?

Something is growing inside me too. I never imagined it to be so subtle but I feel that not only is that baby growing inside Gina, connected to her, but it is also growing inside me too. Connected to me through an energetic link. I can feel their growth and how they feel inside... they feel happy. That baby feels peace and LOTS of love.

We are all growing together and this creates such a connected feeling of the purest love there could be. I feel like we're changing the world.
