From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free - Jacques Cousteau

Past loves for teaching me so much about myself.
I'm a volunteer at the camp at Barretsown. The 'Association of Hole in the Wall Camps'- of which Barretstown is a member – is the world's largest family of camps for children with serious illnesses and life-threatening conditions.
Children with cancer, sickle cell anemia, HIV/AIDS, and many other conditions come to camp to experience the simple joys of childhood, without compromising any of their medical needs thanks to state-of-the-art medical care.
They are a not-for-profit organisation totally supported by charitable contributions and they are my heros - as are the children and families who find the incredible internal strength to endure their respective journeys.
My heros also consist of the people who look out for and fight for the fate of our beautiful planet and the animals who inhabit it. I'm a supporter of the Aspinall Foundation - a charity doing incredible work to breed endagered species and return them to the wild, to increase population numbers. Their success is astonishing.
Contact me for details if you're interested in joining us at the Hole in the Wall camps or in helping to increase dwindling populations of endangered animals.

Hannah loved the sunny, misty morning run by the river Posted at 9:28 AM Sep 27 view more
Walking in the moonlight when there's snow on the ground.
Being in the silence under water and hearing nothing but my heartbeat in my ears.
Watching the sky change on an aeroplane. Being a muse. Absolute honesty with a stranger about the depth and width of life.
The feel of pebbles smoothed by the ocean.
Learning that I unitentionally caused someone to stop and think.
The smell of old books, hair during a hug, cooking caramel cashews, flowing water, fresh lilac, my cats after they've come in from the cold.
Diversity.
Sunlight filtered through trees.
The spiritual connection with a horse when I'm in the saddle and we're listening to each other.
Genuine Eccentricity.
Dancing until I disappear inside the beat.
Japanese maples.
Harvest moons.
Making people jump.
Humility.
Pear yoghurt.
Driving with the top down.
Coming across a new species of fish I never knew existed whilst snorkelling.
Tolerance.
Finding beauty in unexpected places and money in unexpected pockets.
Musicians getting lost in their own sound.
Watching hello's and goodbye's from a distance.
Exploring the personalities people give to their homes.
Kissing in the rain.
Hearing Vienna in a harpsichord and Paris in an accordian.
The 'pop' of cherry tomatoes in my mouth.
Acceptance of the 'human condition'.
Unexpected nights that merge into morning.
Cold water when I'm thirsty. The Indian ocean.
Sleeping in a sunbeam.
Forgiveness.
Afternoon Siestas.
Spontaneity.
The defining moments in films when the piano begins.
Being behind the lense of my camera - all pictures you see here are mine.
Who I'd like to meet:
Jane Goodhall, Charlotte Uhlenbroek, David Attenborough, Gregory Colbert, Juan Mann, you.
I just had friends from MySpace on a visit here in Iceland, and we had a wonderful time travelling around and making photos, check out Daphne Kotsiani and Nectharios in my friend list, these are a wonderful couple from Greece that are warm and curious about life and nature, wonderful photos they shot during their time here looking forward to seeing you here !!!
I have moved my birthday shenanigans to sat oct 10th this year, hopefully that'll give you some time to recover from travelling :) Plan so far, such as it is, is to start at the intrepid fox nr Tottenham court rd tube, in the afternoon. Hope you might be able to come? And bring whoever you like, obviously. Love you honey, catch up properly next week if you're around? Xxx
Nothing
in the world is more flexible and yielding than water. Yet when it
attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they
have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the
yielding overcome the forceful. Everyone knows this, but no one can do
it.
Experience is never limited, and it is never complete; it is an immense
sensibility, a kind of huge spider-web of the finest silken threads
suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every air-borne
particle in its tissue.
I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
How's my favorite mermaid? :) I hope you're doing well and having a blast with your beautiful Lola. :) Haven't been on here in ages, but I wanted to say hi to a few of my favorites :) Take care and take pics ;) xo ~ Sherry
