My Books . . .
My books have finally arrived after four months. I now feel at home: their clamor greets me as I wake and soothes me as I fall asleep.
Life imitates Art
Tractors on Bole Road in Addis Ababa. Almost an exact scene from my film (still being written). I’ve lost writing confidence, not sure why. Need to find my way back as life and art continue to overlap.
Throwing Stones . . .

Rumble Play Reading: 13 April
Last night I held a reading of my “Rumble in the Jungle” play at my new glass house in Johannesburg. Blessed to have everyone participate and bring this beast to life. My head and heart is now full of changes to make. Thanks everyone . . .

I am fennel . . .
An odd thing has happened as I have moved back to working full time within a big mining organization. I took the job because I was worn out by being out there on my own – managing so many jobs and writing projects – a heavy freedom. Now, being part of an organization, I now imagine myself as fennel. On its own fennel is a strange and sometimes difficult food, but as part of a soup, it add a unique flavor while losing its singular bite. I am now enjoying being part of a mix, my identity now much more about how I influence others and they me. The break and context I’ve sorely needed.
