we all end up here
honesty is not a choice
when you need shelter
and how can you speak freely
with glass tangled in your throat?

Packed up my old life
met sunset on the north road -
a space in between
seeds of learning and fresh roots
growing here in my new patch

Hey friends, I wanted to share my latest piece in Pipeline Artists Magazine. It's about my personal journey through the LA fires, out of the county and into Northern California.

Powerful allegory. Brilliant piece of cinema. Highly recommend seeing it in a theatre.

Geek stuff at the offices of Lucas and Coppola. A couple of weeks ago, I met the man who made the Millenium Falcon, and a bunch of other Star Wars model makers. A truly lost art ❤️

salt air and seaweed
summoned by the evening rain
sharp outline of rock
points towards a thawing sky
and hope on the horizon

Happy Paddy's Day 💚 Today I found the grave of my (3x) great uncle in San Francisco - originally a Belfast boy.
Ceol, craic, agus sláinte, a chairde. 🍀

There is so much good
In this darkly magic world
You have to be fierce
You must drag it from the earth
Protect it with your whole heart

Where is the beacon?
LA dreams have turned to ash.
These gentle goodbyes
filled with grief, profound sorrow
settling deep into my bones.
