Episode 8: Rehab week 1 - To Arms and Order - Like a cairn marks the way in the mountains, moving to the rehab centre marked the way on the path back to the mountains.

This post was a heavy one to write and it comes with a graphic images waring. Otherwise, welcome to Hell.

Be that as it may, I have actually posted something.

So I've finally got another post out...its been a challenging period

The concept I'm talking about here is a vague but I thought I'd give it a try anyways. Its an important concept and one which has changed my view on the world for the better I believe. But also one which is hard to define or fully articulate.

Hopefully we can start a wider discussion about this concept and collectively try to pull out its salient points and premises.

Watson's Prosthetic Journey

So I've started a crowdfunding campaign to help fund the prosthetic, these things are massively expensive so every donation helps and is met with great thanks.

This is a great experiment to see what's possible, we do not always know what we are capable of but we wont know unless we ask that question in all its seriousness.

Goodluck on your Journey

Hey all

It's been a while but I'm finaly back into blogging. The last two months have been challenging, trying to deal with the loss and simultaneously trying to restart this life thing.

Hopefully the next episode wont take me too long to post.

Keep the journey long.

The Journey – Watson's Journeys Concept 3: Meditation and the Ego Ok so you’re born, you don’t really remember that, which is odd. It’s a pretty big deal in your life and you don’t remember it.
