SPORT & SELF DEVELOPMENT

October 16, 2021October 16, 2021 minimumman

Trainers on asphalt and concrete, the thudding pad of the ground beneath feet. From towerblock jungles in the urban sprawl, to muddy trails through overgrown wilderness. Endurance, following through on a set goal, under the dim clouds of winter days … Continue reading SPORT & SELF DEVELOPMENT

CONSISTENCY | SHORT THOUGHTS

October 9, 2021October 9, 2021 minimumman

Some successes are dazzling shooting stars, bursting through the blackness for a moment- a sudden display of brightness, brief and impressive. Other successes are slow, far off stars burning away in the distance, existing as they do and eventually shining … Continue reading CONSISTENCY | SHORT THOUGHTS

SOCIAL MEDIA | SHORT THOUGHTS

October 2, 2021October 2, 2021 minimumman

Social media looms in the background of all of our lives. Those of us who are on social media face the daily onslaught of headlines, timelines, updates, and minute-by-minute dramas occurring globally. Even those of us who aren’t on social … Continue reading SOCIAL MEDIA | SHORT THOUGHTS

THE END OF MINIMALISM?

September 25, 2021September 25, 2021 minimumman

The objects slowly creep in, interiors change and transform, mindsets change in fragments, trends die out. Once monochrome interiors become full of things, the cutlery drawer increases in mass, the wardrobe spills over. Minimalism may, for many, fall away in … Continue reading THE END OF MINIMALISM?

WAKING UP EARLY

September 11, 2021September 11, 2021 minimumman

To look out at a sunrise is a wonderful and precious thing. No matter how many times we may see a sunrise in our life, it will never be the same sunrise twice. With that sunrise comes the promise of … Continue reading WAKING UP EARLY

WALKING

September 4, 2021September 4, 2021 minimumman

Bus, bike, train, car, tram, plane. We get to places by many means. The seasons pass, and sometimes it feels that we don’t take notice of the small changes around us. The bright skies burn into dark winters as we … Continue reading WALKING

TRAVEL MISTAKES

August 28, 2021August 27, 2021 minimumman

Train doors open in a clatter as you run out onto the platform. Late again, for a train going the wrong direction; the escalators and crowds and announcements are disorienting. The hotel is not much better, long stretches of narrow … Continue reading TRAVEL MISTAKES

AMBITION: POWER HUNGRY OR HEALTHY MOTIVATION?

August 21, 2021October 6, 2021 minimumman

The drive to reach something more. The slow but steady progress from somewhere monochrome to somewhere technicolor. A human force, propelling us toward our goals, compelling us to make changes, to work hard, to strive for something. Ambition conjures images … Continue reading AMBITION: POWER HUNGRY OR HEALTHY MOTIVATION?

THE VACCINE

August 7, 2021August 6, 2021 minimumman

Marquees line the car park, litter on asphalt, a rattle from the train tracks beyond a fence below. Arrows mark the way to makeshift health centres. Red lane, blue lane, check in desk, a dystopian earth. People move around the … Continue reading THE VACCINE

IS COMMUTING TRAVEL?

July 24, 2021July 23, 2021 minimumman

The cold suburban train station in the early hours of the morning; that still, damp air which settles down as dew as the first pieces of sun cut through the cloud. The people, faces which you’ve seen before, each of … Continue reading IS COMMUTING TRAVEL?
