Movements in the World and in the Mind
As I have taken root in the lush Caribbean where it is pissing down with rain on an almost daily basis, it seems that the rest of the world is burning. With a brave youngster from Sweden as a poster girl, youth across the world are whipped into fear in regards to the effects of... Continue Reading →
With the exception of a couple of days, I haven’t stopped wearing open-toes shoes since I arrived in South Asia in February, escaping the cold, cold climes of Western Europe and North Africa. A serious heatwave has hit Europe and other parts of the world and everyone is whining about the heat. After having spent... Continue Reading →
