About

Hi, I’m Grae.

I’m a narrowboater.

I’m a radio amateur.

I’m an engineer – I work for the civil service building and running an engineering organisation in government building and running digital services for people.

I’m a meditator and a sort-of Buddhist and sort-of pagan.

Engaging with all this around me matters. I mean the world full of plants, animals, rocks, people, rocks, all things. Being in touch with my body and my senses matters. I want the full experience of this life — the full depth, breadth, beauty, joy, darkness and despair. And in it, I’m tender, sensitive, solid, confused, sometimes angry, mostly bemused.

There’s much joy for me in the baroque complexity of life, the beauty of this place, and the spectacular unlikeliness of having this experience at all. Grateful for that.
