Listening among the Constellations. I’ve been reading Cormac McCarthy. I could sit here all day and type lines I love, but if I was going to type just one, it would probably be this one:. 8216;The horse raised its head above the skyline to listen among the constellations.’. I like to raise my head above the skyline to listen among the constellations also. I have found numerous ways: sleeping out, dawn surfing, night walking, solitary hiking, mountain climbing, psychadelics, meditation. Wild places are cr...

Why I Live in a Shed. The north wind is behind me. And I’ve planted out my sweet peas. The money tree is thriving. But the best things here are free. When people ask, I tell them I am writing a book about housing called Why I Live in a Shed. What I am actually doing is running, singing, surfing, drinking, cursing, worrying and waking up in the dead of night to make marks in the dark with a pencil. We do not need to build more houses, unless it is to create yet more inequality. ‘The purpose of m...I live ...

Stay Young - Catrina Davies

I’ve been having a mid-life crisis for about six years. Ever since I turned thirty and realised that the trail of loose ends and missed opportunities and messed-up relationships and recreational brain-damaging was irrevocable. I wasn’t in the foothills of life, getting acclimatised, finding my feet, which is what I’d thought. This was. Life And I’d blown it. My baby sister had a baby. Friends got ill. Friends died. Anne of Green Gables, Jilly Cooper and all films starring Julia Roberts, road maps for my ...

Shopping, and by extension the entire human project of reducing this miraculous home of ours into a giant department store and then looting it, is an exercise in enslavement. Surfing, on the other hand, or anything else that involves surrender to the laws of the non-human – hiking, gardening, mountaineering – is an exercise in freedom. Freedom is awkward and time-consuming and looks a bit sad and deranged, especially when set against the slick marketing of shopping and war. Unless I have managed to get m...
