  1. Madman, Architect, Carpenter, Judge. A new (to me) way of writing
  2. There, but for the grace of God, go I
  3. That circle is one I want to be in … but … do I want the responsibility that goes with it?
  4. Today’s hunger is not physical. It’s something deeper that food is unable to satisfy
  5. There’s no substitute for the wisdom of experience … those extra few turns around the sun do actually matter in some cases
  6. Don’t make a story out of something that isn’t there. Life is too short for that kind of nonsense
  7. Really. Don’t do it. There are enough amazing – and true – stories out there without focusing on the crazy ones you made up in your head
  8. Divided
  9. We have a morepork (native NZ owl) that visits our garden every night. I love our little slice of island paradise
  10. Every place is a door to someplace else. Even if its only to tomorrow
