“Forever is composed of nows.” Emily Dickinson
Which Is All There Is When the present is all there is, what does it mean to be fully present, or do you sneak off in to the melancholy of the greying past, or do you inhabit the anxiety of tomorrows never arrived, rather than allowing yourself to be pulled into this moment, which is all there is?

“Being out on the edge, with everything at risk, is where you learn to grow the most.” Jim Whittaker
Where Is This Eager Moment? Talk to me about the fringe, where is this eager moment, this line, what is this mythical beast that curls at the edge of my consciousness like a griffin with an either or approach to questions of risk in a sure world of safe lies, where the scale of illusion is an expensive stumble of false hope right in the middle of waiting for rebellion.

“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of things.” Henry Miller (Probably riffing on Marcel Proust’s comment)
Nature Reflecting Nature took a photograph and held it steady for me to see how water is contemplative, reflecting what it sees in its moments of undistracted, centred, stillness, embracing the beauty of all its surrounds, holding the sacred space of song and winter's leafy bounty, that I might rejoice in the conversation we subsequently engaged with deep, silent passion.

“It is living and ceasing to live that are imaginary solutions. Existence is elsewhere.” Andre Breton
Where Do You Go? When something like that happens where do you go, how do you begin to bend time within time and cope with the grief of stolen promises, while remaining witness to the passing narrative. How do you begin to bend time within time, to create a new map of unexpected futures, while remaining witness to the passing narrative of the challenges of the disintegration of truths. To create a new map of unexpected futures that come from within our own imaginations, of the challenges of the disintegration of truths in the beautiful collapse of the so called real. That come from within our own imaginations, and cope with the grief of stolen promises in the beautiful collapse of the so called real, when something like that happens where do you go?

“The moment something ends, a spectacular new voyage begins in the unseen.” Hiral Nagda
Cathedral Of Grand Ideas The trees gave fragments, igniting my mind with a language of fire, composed of intricate thought elements reaching up to the sky as skeletal bones of frame, marking out a cathedral of grand ideas that will inflame passions and set fire to our eyes of knowing, new energy arising from the ash of rutted ways.

“Comfort zones, where your unrealised dreams are buried ….” Roy T. Bennett
The Distance Grows Longer Do you know the distance I have travelled the waters of life, traversing the scattered fragments of sheer ecstasy, the majesty of risky ideas we imagined might evolve to a reality attached to nothing but the energy of our passions, which were strangely balanced against each other, and the heart of these choices, deeply buried in the trope of things that could happen, but might not, even though everything matters, even when it doesn't, and so, the distance grows longer.

“The new slavery is consumerism.” Bryant McGill
You Cannot You cannot make a silk purse from the isms of life though many have tried and succeeded for a time, wrapping them in beautiful magnetic attraction, only to reveal an emptiness of meaning as crisis. Though many have tried and succeeded for a time, too soon the facade faded to its skeletal menace only to reveal an emptiness of meaning as crisis, the very dust we are returning to laughs at our surmise. Too soon the facade faded to its skeletal menace, a harbour of jaundiced, unrepentant misery, the very dust we are returning to laughs at our surmise, thinking we could trust the gratuitous laminate-life. A harbour of jaundiced, unrepentant misery, wrapping them in beautiful magnetic attraction, thinking we could trust the gratuitous laminate-life, you cannot make a silk purse from the isms of life.

“When the world wearies and society fails to satisfy, there is always the garden.” Minnie Aumonier
Garden Song There's a cosmos in reach of my aching touch of skin and veins, beneath my feet emotion runs and wriggles, and it dwells within as I inhale its many spices in unison with the palette that captures my eyes, feeding my senses with songs of colour and rhythmic joy, opening me to each movement of this wondrous melody of all that flies and calls, great or small, calling me to stop, slow down, and sip the wine of its simple complexity.

“All real living is meeting.” Martin Buber
Only Ever What did you notice around you today, and what stirred within you as you noticed? Perhaps a deficit occurred, knowing what was missed between the noticing not noticing, but isn't that just part of it all, part of the awareness of the whole, of self, the knowingness of the way we are, the way life is, just so, knowing that the knowing is incomplete is surely the good part, we can never know until we know through other, another, and not just ourselves, we are only ever ourselves in the presence of other, but then, I'm sure you noticed that long ago.

“The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.” Rachel Carson
Joy Lined Ten thousand leaves of joy lined the avenues of my mind as I invented trails off-topic, fissures filled with raptures of stillness in sideways journeys, along grassy lanes that were far away from straightened routines common to days of unseen wonder; here, now, the simplest encounters are life-giving pathways.
