A revelation keeps surfacing in my mind. It’s chilly outside and the Auckland sky is grey as always, but I’m walking a few miles down the road to Mission Bay. The whole way a breeze pushes against the back of my head and I can hear the muffled whistles of wind echoing through my ears. … Continue reading
The core values. Do we come to TGS because we already fit the “status quo” of these values, or is it the goal to achieve them in our best capabilities while we are here? Lately I have been leaning toward the second. My mind works in goals and races; if I can see what needs … Continue reading
The phosfluorescent algae last night may of well had been a dream. The kayak barely swayed in the water but I felt I was floating.

His conclusion? Hiroshima loves fresh food. “Normally, in a typical Costco, fresh produce accounts for 6% of the stores total … Continue reading
One of my absolutely favorite writing styles are thought streams. And memories are my favorite thoughts to describe in this fashion. Four major cities in six months. Paired with each I have created a mosaic of memories and a thought stream of places or a specific moments. Considering I was based in Hiroshima, I had … Continue reading
The Y, Y-Mag, E-Mag, whatever the name, it is complete! A group of five came together and created this magazine idea we called Y. (Originally this club was known as E-Mag and I joined during it’s transition to Y.) It was a difficult journey to get where we are today, and at first I bit … Continue reading
