		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m going to tell you a story about someone who became a part of my life in a way few other people ever experience. Well, I wonder about that. I wonder how many other people go about their day-to-day lives only vaguely aware that there&#8217;s something unusual going on in their life, but just can&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Camel&#8217;s lilting, melancholic and epic instrumental, Ice is among my favourite pieces of music. Discovered on a late-night college radio station in 1979 in Rochester, New York, it stands out on the album I Can See Your House From Here (despite the DJ&#8217;s touting of Remote Romance as, &#8220;Best on the album&#8221;) I suppose its [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1994 I criss-crossed Australia, much of it across the expansive aridity of the so-called Red Centre, and all of that was sharing a &#8217;79 Holden Gemini with my travel partner. A Gemini is a sub-compact sedan. This one had no air-con, and so we trundled across the expanse with the windows rolled down, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK&#8230; something to end this very loooong, but very productive day. A song that I will always associate with a beautiful beach in a faraway land and a short strip of magical bistros and restaurants barely more than a stone&#8217;s throw from the beach. There were sacred sunrises, and uncanny encounters, bliss and sorrow, beauty [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Heart&#8217;s Dog &#38; Butterfly has been on my mind and in my ears a lot the last few days, both the album and the title song from it. I love the song for the mirthful image of a dog futilely leaping after a fluttering butterfly, and for its wisdom in directing us in our moments [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1974, Robert M. Pirsig published Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, an extraordinary book about an extraordinary journey. The bit about touring around the U.S.A. on a motorcyle is good too. This book captivated me in my early 20s. The mystical philosophy of &#8216;goodness&#8217; Pirsig explores fascinates me. It&#8217;s not a perfect book, [...]]]></description>

Personal, spiritual, career, love: you name it, it was changing. It seemed like Bif Naked had a song for every single transformation, every single condition I was experiencing.

The rhythm of riding, the cyclical nature of cycling, of spinning the crank arms, to spin a cogset, to spin the chain, so that the wheels spin. Round and round and round in a circle game&#8230;the movement [...]]]></description>
