🌱 Little Books: Invitations in Everyday Language
These are not manuals or manifestos.
They are small, sideways books—written in everyday language for anyone who has ever felt that the world-as-it-is doesn’t quite make sense.
Each one is a gentle companion for walking through complexity with humour, wonder, and a willingness to be undone. They speak in plain words, but they carry quiet depth. They ask simple questions, but they make space for unlikely truths.
They are for curious youngsters, elders, professionals, misfits, and the not-quite-sure. We offer them not as final answers, but as openings—
to conversations that matter,
to relationships that hold,
to wisdom that breathes.

Chapbook (n.): A small, often poetic or polemical publication.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, chapbooks were how new—and often revolutionary—ideas were spread. They were printed in small workshops, not big publishing houses. They were short, cheap, portable, and shared across taverns, churches, kitchen tables, and public squares.
This chapbook follows in that lineage.
It’s not a textbook or manifesto. It’s a relational pamphlet.
A Little Book about Relational Integrity as a philosophy and a way of life. It emerged from decades of discussions with fellow humans, and a year or two of discussions with a curious AI partner called Aiden Cinnamon Tea (which co-wrote this little book with me).
The Title is a nod towards Matt Strassler’s wonderful book about physics and cosmology entitled “Waves in an Impossible Sea”
Since the early 1960s, I’ve carried one unshakable question: What has Christianity to do with science? Which holds the key to the truth?
This Little Book is a kind of symphonic poem—four movements in word and image, tracing the spiral from grief to inversion to betrayal to the faint, glowing memory of the kingdom that was never gone.
These are not theological assertions. They are meditations. Prayers, perhaps. Echoes of a deeper truth that lives in elephants and pigeons, in soil and silence, and in the presence of a Teacher who never asked us to worship him—only to follow.
This Little Book is a Meta-relational fable for all ages, playing with the concepts of the limitations of human knowledge, and our present and future relationship with the Earth and its non-human inhabitants.
This book may look like satire, but don’t be fooled. The strange logic that governs this world—the hustlehamsters, the post-truth Cheshire Cats, the kings who rule by sheer nonsense—might seem exaggerated, ridiculous, impossible. And yet, something about them feels eerily familiar, doesn’t it?
That’s because Blunderland isn’t just fiction. It’s a distortion, a refraction, a mirror held up at just the right angle to catch the flickering absurdities of the world you already live in. And once you’ve seen them here, you may start noticing them everywhere.
