Going going… ?
My shins hurt!
Last week the same ride saw emotional, logical and even spiritual resonance on many levels…
This week a poetic beauty and essencial truths seemed to be replaced by sufficient chemical analysis…
Same weather, same route (perhaps that’s why)… dunno why but that’s what happened.
New art – essential chemistry… etherial love – raw life… adventurous dreams – omniscient reality…

enchanting
I have often been curious of the idea of “enchantment” and “joy”. Does this run ‘above’ or ‘underneath’ our hour-to-hour “real” lives.
How might the hyper-real affect the idea that “the visa needs paying”, “the plumbing needs fixing”, “I love my wife”, “I’m thankful for this food”, “I have been drop-kicked…” etc
If a depression is an out-of-focus reality; a space of low pressure, a space where ideas are unfocused, where things fall apart, where structure collapses…
disillusion, disappointment, dismay, gloom, misery, melancholy, misery, pain, sadness, sorrow, trouble, unhappiness, woe
Could a high be an over-focused reality; where it all makes sense, an enchantment, a fascination, an enthralling captivation… “joy”: a beatitude, bliss, cheer, contentment, delight, ecstasy, elation, euphoria, exhilaration, exuberance, enchantment, good spirits, high spirits, hilarity, hopefulness, jubilation, optimism, pleasure, vivacity…
The happy focused conducted view and the lost expansive wild(?) view… hummm….

Hallelujah – beautiful
To be or not to be…
If one is to be, then one needs to act, this needs direction – acting and even unscripted improvisation is triggered by direction…
Guide me oh thou great director…
Hummm… why would I be guided?
Growth, fruit, decay and death are part of the seasonal drama that sees old make way for new…
We recently hosted 10 caterpillars and watched the stages as they grew, formed crysalis and grew into 10 butterflies… 8 flew off to fates unknown, 2 malformed were unable to fly; undirected they died.

…MORE bubbles!

The fleeting glimpse…
Think about those moments that you don’t get time to capture, hang on to the resonance, the after image, the shiver, the glow… grab that, and embrace what you might have missed… life being lived, growth, warmth, laughter, release… and let the strife strive like a bitter wind on its way to nowhere, they will shrivel in their own kingdoms… turn the other cheek and think of the moments you don’t get time to capture and savor them…
