I’ve had a couple of days of anxiety. Well, more like a couple of weeks. It’s the house stuff, largely, but periodically, too I get waves of images and thoughts in my head that I’d rather not have, and that can bring me down. Not obsessive, which is good. Not overwhleming, which is good. More [...]

Acting Up

Like everyone of us stumbling across this earth, most days I just live. I do what needs to be done, I entertain odd little thoughts and wonders and fantasies that meander in and out of my brain, and I make it to the next day without any real conscious thought about how I am and [...]

OK. This whole living arrangement – or rather the lack of a stable living arrangement – is getting really fucking old.
For those not up-to-date, the euphoria around a house bought and a house sold has collapsed into anxiety and stress, as the buyers on my place found their financing fall through, and the folks at the [...]

Absolutely Not in Their Name, Not in Ours Written by Michael Warschawski
Ehud Barak, Tzipi Livni, Gabi Ashkenazi and Ehud Olmert–don’t you dare show your faces at any memorial ceremony for the heroes of the Warsaw Ghetto, Lublin, Vilna or Kishinev. And you too, leaders of [...]

The Israeli assault on Gaza continues. In the last few days, it is increasingly acknowledged that Israel is quite purposely directing attacks against civilian populations, actively hindering the work of international humanitarian agencies, and even shelling local offices of the United Nations.

A weekend from Heaven, as Meg spirited me off to the Sunshine Coast to a fabulous B&B for what was one of the best weekends I can remember. I continue to be awed by this girl. Damn. How lucky am I?
On home front, more anxiety as the offer we received may have fallen apart given [...]

Another New Year, and another assault on Palestine by the state of Israel.
But signs of courage, too. Here in Canada, a group of Jewish women occupied the Israeli consulate in protest sending the message “We’ll stop our occupation if you stop yours”. In Venezuela, the government of Hugo Chavez has expelled Israel’s diplomatic corps.

Feeling strangely unsettled today, and not entirely sure why. I think I awoke feeling fine, but within an hour or so I began to notice something just not quite right – a vague sense of worry, an unease, a disinterest in all around me. And nothing to pin this on, nothing that I can locate [...]
