Things that come to pass
don't get buried in the past
They linger around
waiting to be found
In unlikely ways

He said the more times he read it, the more sense it made. I wonder if spaces work that way too. The more time you spend there, the more it weaves itself into you. Maybe that's what makes it so hard to leave. But eventually you do and you find another place and spend more time there and before you realise it, you've forgotten about where you came from.

About a year ago, Church Street was reborn and so was I. And this holds true for so many other people I've met along the way. We've all grown with the Street. The familiar nooks and corners fill you with nostalgia while the newness makes you hopeful for the future. It's a great feeling to have.
This is me taking a moment to appreciate everything this street has given me and I hope I can give back in increasingly bigger and better ways.

You know when and where to find me, see you around. :•)

Netflix is chill but have you ever watched a play? Every theatre person I've ever spoken to has always talked about how it's hard to do it full time. Most people do it on weekends or after work. Tough business. Skip the multiplex, go watch a play every now and then!

What is busking?

* Wikipedia says performances are anything that people find entertaining—acrobatics, animal tricks, balloon twisting, caricatures, clowning, comedy, contortions, escapology, dance, singing, fire skills, flea circus, fortune-telling, juggling, magic, mime, living statue, musical performance, puppeteering, snake charming, storytelling or reciting poetry or prose, street art such as sketching and painting, street theatre, sword swallowing, and ventriloquism.

Whew! That’s a long list. And I can’t do any of those things. But wait, something’s missing in the list. Something I can do.

On the eve of Christmas, in 2017, I went out into the world with my typewriter — Machina — and all the paper in the world. I sat outside a little bookshop and started typing.

I’ve been doing the same every weekend since then. I talk to strangers and write to them. I write poems, letters, and postcards. I made a few friends on the street. It’s a great way of discovering people and stories.
