I just like to stroll about picking things up, have a wee look at them and then wander on. It is the pleasure of finding things that are both ugly and beautiful. I think the reason I have a Blog is to do many different things; make comments, try to understand concepts, and not to be too tidy. It might seem like disconnected jottings, well you would be correct and that suits me.

London
London is a place that draws me in, it draws me into its wild and multifaceted mechanisms; I want to run away from the congested and bitter crowds that knock and sear into my daily consciousness; I try and block out the rude crushing crowds, the stop start trains, the screeching daily relentless drive that propels each day barging with indifference faceless blankly dead expressions. The chug chug chug of the passing day transforms warm blooded vitality into faded bony remnants. But beyond the darkness of the daily drudging feet and communal daily confluence lies the London that holds me with its great transforming gaze. There within its machinery lies plots of escapism to delight the senses with its quirky lumen essence. Sitting on some grass at the twilight age of the day the sky is a mixture of yellows reds and gray-blues, trees lost of leaves branch upward filling the horizon caressing the darkening textured night sky. London is at its best from twilight to dawn.

Palm Sunday had the brilliance of the sun but the unnerving addition of a morning chill.
ReplyDeleteMonday...the day of the moon...was just limping indecisively. I could not make sense of the day..it seemed to just wander about stopping suddenly with a jagged shudder then turn in a new direction and wander some where else. I am not sure if my prodding helped so I followed on behind. There seemed no sense in the way the day went. Why fight. When the calm did come it seemed like a new nervanna.
ReplyDeleteNearly everyone seems to be falling into the grasp of some illness or other. It is causing a wearisome lack of energy and is making everyone feel easily tired. I am on the verge of some such bug but my ingrained work ethnic makes me fight through all the pains and snuffles.
