The Land of Nod

The phrase ‘Land of Nod’ originates from the Book of Genesis. It refers to the place where Cain was exiled after he killed his brother Abel. The name ‘Nod’ comes from the Hebrew root meaning “to wander,” symbolizing Cain’s life of wandering after his banishment.

Over time, the phrase evolved into a playful expression for sleep, thanks to a pun on the word “nod” (as in nodding off to sleep) popularized in the 18th century by the satirist Jonathan Swift.

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
