2 august 2016 vale of health


...sitting by the pond in the Vale of Health... just before dusk... hoping for direction in this strange and despiriting sense of public inertia... after the British vote to leave the European Union...

...to turn my thoughts away from that i concentrate on the simple action of randomly selecting the colour of this entry... 08 ... which is linked to the colour fuchsia

... which reminds me of the form and purpose of this website...
deliberately empty


...i'd forgotten that... while searching for months for what i've been calling 'direction'...



...i shiver in the near darkness... but cheered by these thoughts... for they animate my lifework... which now can continue... helped rather than stopped by not having a describable direction...

...two people wearing hoodies walk quietly past in the darkness... and i get up to walk home... with two trekking poles and four feet...

...the way back was illuminated by two rural streetlights... (on the road beside the pond)... after which there was darkness... which i normally avoid... but tonight i feel inspired... by the prospect of editing this writing... and putting it online... without purpose...
