Earthen Chivalry

Earthen Chivalry the blog of Michael Bark, a Briton living in and around the Italian Slovenian border city of Trieste.

Michael is a clumsy nature loving Atheist, Although he can generally recognise the difference between a bird, a tree, a stone and a lizard, he often leans on his friends for the specifics! Which begs the question: Is he really in love with nature or simply in love with the idea of loving her?

Along with this Mike draws delight from his informal studies of martial arts and ethics. His occasional martial art blog can be found at  www.WingChunKuen.wordpress.com.

Mike also finds much enjoyment in the reading, hearing and recounting of folktales, particularly those concerning Slovenia, northern Italy and Britain. He in no means sees these as revelations imbued with ultimate truths, but often as humanity’s earlier attempts to make sense of the world around them.

  1. We love your website! and it was easy to find you, you heathen rogue! This is Liz and Guy, aka Kate and Charlie from John Shango’s Firewalk Instructor Training Course, ten years ago. YES! ten years! We are still together, you are still in Italy, we are still in touch with Mel and Mike and lots of other firewalkers and, as its the 10 year anniversary of our own wedding in September, and 10 years since we all met, we’ve decided to host a celebration of Love and Light (and fire) near our home close to Edinburgh. We would LOVE it if you could join us there with anyone you wish to bring, but we would also love to be back in touch and have a phone no., postal address or email address so we can send you a proper invitation and have some cool conversations, like what has kept you busy all these years. .
    Enough for now,
    much love, Liz and Guy.
