Christianity is not about religion. It's about faith, about being held, about being forgiven. It's about finding joy and finding home.
It's unresolved conflict in my life that I have a lovely family and a risky job.
I've fallen down crevasses, been bitten by snakes, been knocked unconscious, had various limbs broken and once, a heavy camera came plunging down which very nearly decapitated me.
My faith isn't very churchy, it's a pretty personal, intimate thing and has been a huge source of strength in moments of life and death.
I do see a lot of the hard end of ecology, and my feeling is that we live on a super-exciting planet but a super-fragile one.

I think it's fun running with dogs. They're always so fit and fast.
Exercise helps my back. If I don't exercise, that's when it starts to hurt. The pain is a good motivator to run and exercise.
