Welcome

Alexis Nihon Plaza, March 2009



About ten years ago, Lasha Seniuk, an astrologer in Vancouver, told me that in a few years I would be very involved with the Internet. I know it’s difficult to conceive of a time without the Internet, but I can remember receiving my first Email, and then the gradual, almost complete, ending of personal snail mail until the point where receiving a letter via Canada Post is a quaint reminder of a by-gone age. So, it isn’t too far fetched to say that "being involved with the Internet" seemed a fairly unlikely prospect at that time. It seemed unlikely at the time even though my son and his friends all seemed to exchange email among themselves, and later had their own websites, wrote computer programmes, and some now work in IT.

I now have several websites and writing this blog seems the next step into virtual reality. I am hoping that working on the blog will be a place to discuss what I love, poetry and poetics, taking photographs, and what my old friend RR Skinner called “things appertaining”, by which he was referring to psychology and spirituality. Other interests that I hope to discuss on this blog are Jungian psychology, dreams, shamanism, spiritualism, the ancestors, family history, politics, history, and so on. That’s a lot! Let’s see how it goes.

Addendum: It's ten years later, 23 May 2018, and how my life has changed. I'm old, fat, white hair, and feeling tired all the time. But I'm still interested in and writing on "Jungian psychology, dreams, shamanism, spiritualism, the ancestors, family history, politics, history, and so on." I guess I omitted poetry because I thought it was a given. It's been an interesting ten years, not the easiest ten years, but at least it's been interesting...
