28 July 01 life as it is


21:00 nine o'clock on the heath - a church clock strikes - voices of picnickers and others sitting on the dry grass - I imagine the faint sounds of an outdoor concert - the picnickers sing 'happy birthday' to someone - a woman and three children move through the long grass on bicycles - there is a haze over the city and the air is warmer than usual and probably polluted...

Things are going well in the world. Awareness of globalisation, and of global warming - and of the ineffectiveness of representational democracy - though each of these perceptions is as yet negative they are surely the necessary preludes to any possibility of the integration and connectiveness that I dream of.

He begins to do that.

Yes. Yes. And no less.
