A Place to Begin

If you have found your way here, welcome. Most of what I write comes from ordinary days. Usually after closing, when the radio clicks off and the last bit of warmth from the day hangs around the counter. That is the time when things settle enough to think.

This place holds a few different kinds of pieces. Most can be read on their own. Some sit better once you have spent a little time here.

Charity Shop Meditations

Pieces from the shop floor. The feel of the place, the odd rhythms, and the steady work that keeps a day upright.

Applied Kinetic Humanism

Practical notes on how small systems behave. These make more sense once you have the measure of the room, only because they grow out of how the days actually move.

KH Thinks

Short observations. Usually something caught on the walk home or while standing at the till. These do not need any background.

Autopsy of a Thought

One intrusive thought opened up and looked at it without trying to tidy it. Quiet and self-contained.

Quiet Frames

Photographs and a few lines from wherever I happen to be. Corners, light, and the small moments you notice when you are not rushing.

The Things I Do Not Say Out Loud

Private thoughts that sit close to the chest until they are written.

Where to start

If you want a gentle way in, these usually settle well.

A Things I Do Not Say Out Loud piece
Simple. Human. A small footing.

A Charity Shop Meditation
Good for getting the measure of the place.

A KH Thinks piece
Short. Familiar. Something you can read without settling in.
