I'm a thirty year old, solicitor, musician, aspiring writer, genuine lover, exoteric traveller and esoteric journeyer.

I live in Sydney, Australia.

I get antsy when I don't move about.  I've always travelled far and wide - in all bodies, at all times.  Globetrekking is my deepest passion and greatest vice.  It's an expensive addiction.  I've been a subtle-body fascinator forever, and spend most of my days, at work or otherwise, with attention firmly circulating around those hidden depths.

To blur the lines of without and within, I sing and strum and dance and drum.  Rhythm and melody are the etheric fibres of my very being.  Whoever I am comes twisting from hara to heart and out through my throat, every single day.  Joining my farthest interior to the landscape of nature, culture and my beloved others is my life.  Singing is just that.

I'm thoroughly obsessed with spiritual practice: Exoteric, Esoteric and Mystic.  I have a pretty much daily practice of formalised concentration and insight meditation training.  I toy with Gnostic subtle body practices from the Western Mystery Tradition via St Uriel the Archangel Gnostic Community here in Sydney.  I also manage to each of these at least weekly: breathwork, amateur level pranayama, AcuEnergetics, Trigger Point needling, Acupuncture, Weights, and Chiropractic work.  I also read mountains of Integral Philosophy, Western and Eastern classical philosophy, travel books, sublime fiction and well… legal texts.  All complimentary spiritual practices in my book.

I love love.  I'm deeply committed to the expression of pure love as best I can express it in any given vignette of time and space I'm afforded.  I lust for love. I work with every part of myself to generate and offer the widest power of heart and head, gut and root, to action the promise we're gifted to in our precious shared life.  I love my partner with all powers of light and shadow, in a dedicated commitment to serve the Big Love.  Oh, and I completely fuck it up over and over again.

I'm trying to finish the recording of an album with a local collective called Broken Shelf.  It's taking some time.  I also want to front my own outfit once my back problems heal.  I really want to sing live.

I want to start a martial art.  Maybe Aikido, or Jeet Kune Do.  I dunno yet.

I want to work out what the fuck I'm trying to achieve in work and purpose in the public sphere.  I find the pace of change and the knowledge demands of our rapidly evolving societies to be fucking daunting and completely confusing.  It's a shit, because I've got the energy to make something happen, but which bucket to pour that into is still deeply alluding me.  Though, as my friend Dave says: “the river who gradually narrows flows far”.

I'm hoping to commence a PhD on the development of an integral legal theory, and am hoping to find a way to tie this in with a specific interest I have in the role of church/state separation and the influence of religious political narratives in recent western secular democratic electoral processes (Australia, US, UK).  Bugger me that's a mouthful.  Watch this space to see if I have the balls to pull it off.

Let's be mates over the information mega-freeway.  Come and say hi sometime huh?
