We astronomers are nomads, merchants, circus people, all the earth our tent.

This post discusses the folly of Numerology. It aims to prove that it is a figment of the mind, with no meaning attached.

A poem about the concept of time.

May you always picture where you are as where you're meant to be. May you take in your surroundings like you visited it especially. We all will end up in the soil eventually. Some of you carry such goodness that it nourishes for centuries. May you see life as a show and may the entry fee be empathy sat front row with an empty seat for friends in need. And when you're on form be generous and spread the energy. And when you're not sure be gentle with yourself and don't fo

Here is a collection of quotes that have caught my attention, and resonated with me (or had me laughing out loud), grouped in a number of categories.

This is not an empty phrase, coming out of nowhere. The purpose of this blog-post is to give some background on the ideas that have led to creating the site. It came from realising that: Love is a life-force that gives us d

Praising the voice and touch of women.

This will be the first post in the category of 'Science in the modern world', and covers observational astronomy, in particular with radioastronomy telescopes. The science field of astronomy (as opposed to the lore of astrology ; more on that in a future blog-post) has been a constant thread throughout my life so far. I will be describing my professional stories more or less in sequence, and will start with my early pre-professional years. One could call it a memoire or a se

Many of us have felt the restraints of the shackles of convention. Conform to the norm is what people mention against the idea of radical self-expression. Don't be loud, or stand out from the crowd. But wait... It's great if you want to toss the shackles aside, to be the person you want to be, claiming liberty. So do it, and break free. But be mindful of those who are afraid, not ready or unable to follow your footsteps. Be gentle and kind and remember the words that my heroe

All modalities I offer start with a conversation about consent, so that there will be full understanding between client and facilitator. ​ Consent is discussed along the lines that are set out by Dr. Betty Martin in the 'Wheel of Consent'.

Outside of the boundaries of conse
