i have been away for most of my life … just back … will be updating soon

do not dwell on the past for it is not now
do not be sad for what you have lost for how can it be gone
do not be uncertain for the future for it is not here
remember  – this moment is all there ever is  - and all there ever will be

Socrates said that, “The unexamined life is not worth living”. This may be true, but be very careful, because the over-examined life will also be found to be devoid of meaning, and not worth living either.

What a day, a day of beauty in penwith. The birds, the smells its spring in Cornwall, and there is no better place to be. Listening and watching Andy McKee …

Well the muse turned up late last night, and threw a tune at me. A very gentle piece  on piano, with cellos and things. Don’t know where they come from, they just arrive out of thin air. No words, but they will come, they always do. In the same way as the music, the words just arrive, pulled out of the ether by my pen, not written by me but through me, is how it feels. We shall see what occurs …

And so today, I want to write all day, but alas I have other things to do. To have just a month of unadulterated time off, to get back to creativity … dream on. Songs unfinished, the book slowing down, and me lost in the middle. The weekends coming maybe I shall get something done then …
