Lostness is a seed…
September walked in with joy on joy on joy, and with a quiet subtle wave of lostness. Asking to be heard. Dont let it bury itself, and become a shadow. I dug. It wasn’t from the duct taped tent in the desert. Or the rain in Spain that falls mainly on the plain…and straight through the board straps which created 4 rivers into the car. Or from being alone. Aloneness felt like forgotten Aliveness - and blissful. And those moments where things-go-wrong, but aren’t a problem, are grace and giggles.
The lostness had come from the desperation for answers. Craving to know what-nexts.. When this chapter, is to be lived, and to be living with the questions. To meet the unknown with grace and patience. And gently, plant new ideas. Gently. At nature’s pace. Not the Western world’s pace.
The last chapter was governed by Kali. Where surrender was the only way through the chaos. Chaos, destruction -and creation from melting into the flow… But now Ganesha is here. Calling for grounding, questioning how to use learnings.
Saying that Lostness is a seed.
A seed that says:
Talk to your future self who’s 5 years ahead of you. What does she say.
Ground in gratitude, for what’s here now.
Your heart mind is the answer. Tap it. Remember it.
You’re stuck in city mind, in ideas of ownership and fears of scarcity. People, places, plans, dont last. Nothing lasts. You’re temporary remember.
Return to Metta- for everyone, and everything.
You always wanted to be here, where you are now. Now relax and enjoy it.
You’re already here, and you’re already home.
Surrender at her feet. You’re never alone.
Start planting. Slowly

Hola England!
Once I’ve made the slow ride back from Portugal, and before i head back to my Eastern home, I have some tattoo dates for SW England to end this year’s tattoo tour. I have loved meeting and tattooing you all more than ever this year. Dorset is more likely to fill up, so if you’re able to make it to Cornwall please choose this one over Dorset. The Healing Room i work from there is really special. As is the cake next door… I will reply to all requests within the next two weeks.
