"Nit nitay garabam", as the saying goes in Wolof, "people are people's medicine" so Serafina and I travel by foot, bike and flight in search of adventure, mostly deep in Nature but also in urban spaces.

      "There are many roads which lead to God. I have chosen the one of dance and music"

      - Jalaluddin Rumi (1207-1273)

      

      After the rain and the storm came a day of great beauty. From dawn to dusk, Serafina and I followed the sun with the many birds; we whirled and danced with the geese and the starlings, opening

      "A smile is the shortest distance between two people" - Victor Borge

      

      This morning we had the wettest University Parks ParkRun ever... But after getting soaking wet over the 5 km run, the smiles just kept coming...

      

      Later, Serafina and I walked down to the great river, the origin of Oxenford where the oxen

      They say it never rains in Southern California but travelling up the coast to visit a dear friend, the sun suddenly disappeared completely from view and we felt a light drizzle.

      

      Dawn brought scant relief with more low-hanging grey skies from the persistent high-pressure marine layer of low clouds and

      On January 7, 2025, the most destructive wildfire in the history of the city of Los Angeles began in the Santa Monica Mountains, fuelled by powerful Santa Ana winds and eight months without measurable rainfall. Before the wildfire became fully contained over 3 weeks later, it had destroyed large parts

      On a beautiful sunny afternoon I ran my old route from Westwood, down San Vincente Boulevard and ending up at Santa Monica beach. The sun was slowly sinking on the horizon, painting everything in golden colours.

      

      In the stillness of early evening with the sun setting, I thought about the words of the poet

      We returned to the City of Angels to honour my friend. The traffic is as mad as ever but Californian Nature remains extraordinary, especially high up in the hills.

      

      On this glorious morning Serafina and I couldn't quite believe our eyes when Angelhenge emerged from the clouds, as if the spires were the

      Again, we woke up before dawn, Yr had promised blazing all day sunshine and Serafina was eager to fly. But we were unable to see the sunrise as the clouds hung heavy with a light drizzle.

      

      But then the clouds parted and slowly the sun gained in prominence. The splendid autumnal colours brought smiles

      "Todo homem precisa de uma mãe" - Zeca Lavigne Veloso

      

      Walking in autumnal Paris, we were watching the world go by, hearing snippets of conversations, carefree in the city of love.

      

      Walking along the Seine, we heard the laughter of a young girl holding her mother's hand, suddenly changing into golden voices
