In the old chaplain&#8217;s house along the front terrace of Fremantle Prison, an old Australian convict site, there is a wide Victorian balcony.  As I walked through the front door of this building this morning I looked up at the jarrah rafters on the underside of the balcony and a pair of wide, dark [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A bit of hyper-local comment today, which will hopefully be of interest even if you don&#8217;t live where I live.  I dwell on the west coast of Australia, in the port city of Fremantle.  The other day I was reading a report from the surgeon of the Fremantle prison from 1870.  In describing Fremantle he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gary Snyder says that true affluence is not needing anything.  But what we do need is the fertility of the land and the beauty of the more than human world.  In his poem &#8216;Spring&#8217; Gerald Manley Hopkins writes that nothing is so beautiful as that season.  Reading his lines reminds me of [...]]]></description>

The Pacific ocean is just so cold around San Francisco that even moderately [...]]]></description>

While staying at Esalen I sometimes found this overwhelming and without respite (and thought to myself that I wouldn’t want to live in an eco-village), but now [...]]]></description>

This image was created by my friend Nate Bolt (rights reserved).  It is of the Esalen hot tubs, and depicts the place as a planet.  Superb work Nate.
So I have now left planet Esalen (the retreat centre where I&#8217;ve been working and studying for the last ten weeks).  Today I’m breathing a sigh [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve moved into a new cabin here at Esalen, (to remind you, Esalen is the expensive, new age, formerly avant-garde spa resort/ workshop centre/ seas-side community that clings to the unpeopled mountains here on the north-central Californian coast, where I’ve been residing for the past six weeks).  I’ve also started a new job in [...]]]></description>
