7 march 2018 Vale of Health (revisiting
the highest point)
cool sunny afternoon...
a first day of spring
(but no new leaves yet to be seen....)
next day...
A B O U T I M E
(in several senses)
and now even later
(10 march 2018):
returning to the pond...
retracing steps
and finding new attractions and supports...
in these familiar places
visible from the highest seat
close to midnight... reading strange thoughts*.... of old age as
enabling young ones to blossom... not only by vacating space and needing
fewer resources... but by opening new culture to ancient... while
widening consciousness and ego from logical to imaginative... and from
abstract to concrete
*James Hillman (1999), THE FORCE OF CHARACTER And the Lasting Life,
Ballantine Books/ Random House, New York
...for reinterpreting the young and the old as needing new language...
not as wholly materialist nor as wholly spiritualist... but as parts of a whole... and about
time of expansion and improvement... perhaps making things better... (or
even worse!)
[hope for online event to comment on or propose elements or conditions of new organisation]
