New Book


With special thanks to all my friends and family who have listened relentlessly to my ranting and raving over the past years, and who have encouraged me to pursue my dreams which has helped me to keep my imagination alive, finally telling me:
“For heaven’s sake write a bloody book”

So I bloody well did.
I would like to thank all the individuals I have met who have showed so much compassion, kindness and shared unforgettable quality time together. In respect those who have helped and supported me in my various times of need and desperation, may they indeed be fully blessed in this life and the next.
Love, light, peace.
It will be hopefully available within the next few weeks and would be very grateful if you could promote and pass on the title to as many sources as possible, and more importantly hope you enjoy reading it.
Much appreciated, thank you all.

I started to drift off and think about the past; a few years ago I had been having what I thought to be some bad turn of events in life and was feeling a little lost, dazed and confused, which was probably due to some of the great French red wine that I had discovered, found comfort in and became very happy with that year; many a bottle sat listening to my stories of true happiness and despair without judging me, it was a perfect relationship for a while, because in a way they were like women: they had such lovely bodies, perfectly formed, smooth curves, dark complexion, long neck, and no head…….Hmmmm! I chuckled to myself with that image in my mind, visualizing a relationship with no arguments and total satisfaction….yes another great year, let’s do it again tomorrow my dear, hic!
Well my imagination never did need much to set it off spinning down some rabbit hole to appear in another world drinking tea with the mad hatter himself, so that year was a bit of a blur really with chasing rabbits down holes and apart from a little work that I was fortunate to pick up, it all occupied me well enough until something came along to inspire me further......travelling! Well those first few steps into a totally different part of the world, culture, strange sounds, sights, smells, and real banana trees instead of the plastic ones in the supermarket, real fruit and vegetables that did not taste like plastic ones in the supermarket! Certainly aroused some dormant enthusiasm cells and I am eternally grateful to these caring people for helping me take these first exciting new steps towards the sun and light again, but maybe the travelling has become just another vice to substitute the other ones, as I found myself on that insatiable path of wanting to see more, go further, go higher.

Now I sit here frozen like a startled rabbit, numb still from the events of the last 24 hours. I am covered in dust, mud, grime, snot……and freezing to the core of my being, somewhere behind that glazed expression is me. I am dazed. I am amazed. I am shocked…

….but very much alive!

I recall the events just one day before replaying various bits of it in my minds eye; the marathon road trip that lay just a few seconds ahead of my unknowing as I set off down an uncertain road, a forbidden road, with the only certainty of being uncertain, and hoped a ride would come along soon.
That morning I had felt unusually good and positive; there was love welling up in my heart and I felt as clear as the blue sky above me, just as cloudless and unhindered by doubt. The distance ahead of me did not matter I was sure something would happen and that I will get through here. The feeling was overwhelming and I had to stop just to feel it, to respect it, to allow it recognition. I gazed peacefully around me becoming transfixed in the distance, where a huge horizon of white tipped mountains pierced the heavens. They regarded them here as sacred mountains and in that moment I could understand why. I felt them as though they were watching me, their power, and their wisdom. They looked so beautiful, so close and again I felt as though I could reach out and touch them. I could have stayed in this place indefinitely, my mind, my heart so completely surrendered. I felt a kind of death, but it was beautiful, no fear just surrender and then being cradled by it. My mind was so still in timelessness there was no need for anything, no desire, no fight just an incredible feeling of deep love, respect, honor and of letting go, of faith........I let it all go and I turned away to follow a road I did not care where, when or how; I just knew this was the way I was to go and everything was going to be fine.

Mahayaga 2014

Dharmasooya Mahayaga is a Social Yajnam. All the representatives from all walks of life have to take part in it. It is said that If they do the prayer standing close to the 'Great Divine Presence' at the time of Yaga all of their prayers and dreams for the world would come true.
It is going to be a great honour for me to be there in India for this very special time where thousands of spiritually focused human beings will be converging and focusing their minds and hearts, a time of positive energy and intention.

‘Imagine’
Imagine there is no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you will join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You, you may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you will join us
And the world will live as one

I just came across an interesting google search by accident as I was trying to type in my 2121stonefree blog....
Angel Numbers....
121, 112, 1221, 2121, 2211, 1122
- If you are repeatedly seeing combinations of 1's and 2's, this is a message that our thoughts are like seeds that are beginning to sprout. You may have already seen some evidence of the fruition of your desires. These are signs that things will and are growing in your aspired direction. Keep the faith!

So if my flight from Birmingham had not been delayed twice, then the time that was being displayed on a big digital clock right next to the oversize baggage scanner where I had to take my bike, would not have been displaying, yes 12:21!!!
Then I walked to the flight gate number, and opened up my laptop to continue writing this message, and guess what the time was on my computer...yes
21:12
21 Life is a mirror unto ourselves 12
Mirrors show us what we often cannot see ourselves:
‘Ourselves’
21:12 in the Bible reads:
Matthew 21:21
New International Version (NIV)
21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.
So stop fiddling with that bloody fig tree, who cares who sees your dangle bits and take that leap of faith.
Believe it and it shall be so. Think it into existence!
Thought ripples through the quantum matrix field of pure infinite potential, where the imagination has no boundaries, where potential energy is materialised by consciousness, thought makes potential energy vibrate, or light, light is just different frequencies of vibrating energy, everything is just organised vibrating energy with different densities, frequencies. If you make matter vibrate enough it turns from a solid to a liquid to a gas, a holy trinity if you like. We can transform ourselves and this world by changing the way we think.

In the beginning there was light, energy, vibration, sound....a voice maybe and that word was with God.

I was nearly off to a bad start by being charged extra for taking my bike on Air India, but now I am feeling guided again with these synchronicities, my prayers for a peaceful and just world will be shared and delivered very soon at Mahayaga.
I landed in India at 5.30pm, and made a wide arc around the advancing taxi touts pointing to my box telling them “no need” and very quickly had an audience of enthusiastic Indians all trying to guess what was inside it as I tore it open and started bolting bits and pieces back together, bags, straps, PVC pipe (my favourite DIY material) bungee cords and bits of rope, my instant vagabond bike.
A pleasure to be here again in a healthy 35 degrees, the familiar sounds, decibels of competing road noise, a plethora of competing nasal smells, which suddenly all levelled out to an acceptable Indian flavour at around 50km as I reached the old part of cochin, met up with my friend who had organised a great shared dormitory for us all, quiet, clean, perfect ambience and location, looking forward to seeing it all in the daylight, feeling well energised and think all my particles are going to go super nova soon.

Incredible India. Great to be back.
Shanti Shanti

Love, light, peace.

Corsica

In the spirit of adventure and taking bikes to places where bikes really should not be taken, and in those moments of uncertainty let us remind ourselves that life is an adventure, and that is exactly what we are doing, move forward however possible with the resources available with awe, wonder, curiosity and without fear.
We are the pioneers of our own reality.
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is à gift.











There are some days when everything seems to be going uphill especially here in Corsica!!! Currently making my way down the west coast with à friend promoting his 'free wheel school' please check out his web site here
I Will be cycling with this School on its first 'expérimental' permacultour cycling expérience, starting from Palakkad 6th February 2014, crossing through the heart of Kerala in south India, to finish near Auroville pondu cherry 14th march 2014.
I am anticipating  many new adventures of mind, matter and Spirit in this incredible part of the world.
