Space
This evening I listened to Peter Gabriel’s New Blood, after seeing the album mentioned on Thomas’ blog. As I listened, I kept thinking “this is my favourite song so far!” There were so many tracks that I liked. Downside-Up, Wallflower, and Mercy Street were all terrific.

Sunset
The valley, almost invisible. The most intense degree of aerial perspective whitens the distance below the sun. Looking through the trees I see haze. The hills fade into the ether. The occasional contour of a tree in the distance is visible. I have never seen a sunset like t...

Reflection
Outside one of my childhood bedrooms there was a tree, a single tree. I see the tree vividly in my mind, and remember tracking it as the seasons changed – watching out for the first blossom, followed by the maturity of the leaves, then again by their browning as summer becam...

At this month’s Homebrew Website Club Writing Edition (notes to come; will be shared likely on July 12th), the topic of audience came up. Who is the audience for our website? Do we have multiple audiences? Do we think of audience at all?
In amongst this discussion, I starte...

Winter
Speaking of trains, I tell a story of Winter to my friend, of the train that stopped in the village station on an evening so cold my fellow passengers and I could see our breaths. The local pub offered refuge to all those who wanted to sit in the warmth. I wanted to feel a b...

Gardens
A pink symmetry on the peaceful pond catches my eye. “It’s a lotus!” I have made lotuses with paper before, but cannot remember the last time I saw one (have I noticed one before in the way I did today?). The vivid colours are striking: pink petals define the shape of the fl...

Sunset; music
The horizon is bathed in orange and a faint pink hue as the hills in the middle distance turn blue with the haze of the summer’s evening. Light white clouds are scattered across the sky. Looking at the clouds, I see art; looking around at the hills and fields I see art, too....

Now: are the French squad numbers gold or bleu? 🤔 #FRAMAR
Nature
Breathe in. Breathe out. Standing in the fresh warm summer’s air, I found my breath slowing, and deepening. I wandered as I transitioned from the feeling of indoors to the Nature of outdoors. Trees and bushes and the light sounds of Nature accompany me as I put one foot forw...
