Had a great time in Edinburgh with my poetry, storytelling & music guided meditation show about dreams… will be up on YouTube soon.

Some lines from a 1h poetry show (with soundscape) i’m developing about wandering in dark dreams.

Famously called “mad, bad and dangerous to know” by Lady Caroline Lamb, Lord Byron died on this day (April 19th) in 1824 at age 36.
This bad boy drank wine out of a skull his gardener found and was reported to have slept with over 250 women in Italy in one year. He was born with a slight club foot and collected a bunch of sexually transmitted infections. His personal promotion and commotion around him prompted his wife Annabella to coin the term “Byromania”. Byron referred to Wordsworth as “Turdsworth” in a letter to a friend. During his lifetime, in addition to numerous dogs and horses, he kept a fox, four monkeys, a parrot, five cats, an eagle, a crow, a crocodile, a falcon, five peacocks, two guinea hens, an Egyptian crane, a badger, three geese, a heron, a honey badger, and a goat with a broken leg. He was rock n’ roll before there was such a thing, and also gave us lines like: “She walks in beauty, like the night. Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright. Meet in her aspect and her eyes.”
He was also the father of Ada Lovelace, a famous mathematician widely regarded as the world’s first computer programmer.
