Zen, Love and why it's hard feeling it at the moment, but wish I did: (Very much so)

I was a little worried, actually I have been worried a while, dismayed and discouraged by my feeling for humans, and even friends as we spread ourselves so thinly in today's networking age. I think it is a little to do with my problem solving autistic brain (I'm nearly sure) where social kindness is part of this world of mine and as particular as everything else going on in here and so, when things go wrong or sometimes even different they seem to fly out of my brain and don't concern me in real terms and become very big problems of principle.

I then realise that I can care for my children so resolutely so profoundly, and I used to care for humans and humankind in the same way but a few knock backs by certain people and I spin off orbit so badly that I become more a human kind lover but only in the bigger scheme of things. I do still love my friends, family and humans in general, but I feel tainted by wankers very badly and I would like to not be swayed by wankers anymore.

For one, to some I'm sure I am one of the wankers.
For two, I seem to expect others to dig my ideals the most and that is bad and hurts.

I still think, a land where ambitions are for love and beauty, and money is a by-product, and fame is a by product: how massively and wondrously would we evolve. Our eyes would turn and be bright, not callous and blurred. The focus would come in our focus to such that humans aspire to but rarely practise as a practise. The closest I have come to researching this kind of life is a more Zen life where ones work is a practise of the moment. Where Perfect is perfect anywhere, not because it has riches in mind or fame or a big city. Craftspeople and artisans, true ones.

I am trying and have always tried to be this resolute about humans, but I still feel alien. Maybe because I'm 4th generation Italian on my mother's side and 2nd generation Italian on my Dad's side I never fit in here,.. But I think the Artistic Autism is a major factor or that I am in fact an alien. But the resolute love and understanding and tolerance I have for my children, I would love to feel a decimal integer for others. I will try because I would like to evolve now not in some Darwinian generation 10,000 years from now.

MGMT - Time To Pretend

First time I saw this was a glorious moment!

I think it was on BBC coverage of Glastonbury
The song became my first song I needed to hear on the way to Cornwall.
Now it is "My Cornwall Song" as my boy Finn says

Epics and Stories a coming!

These photos I took for the 'Epics Series' with the help of very special talented friends,.. Have now started to gather and create something, another world to work from and within in the writing. A mythic world bleeding into this one, into a few individuals in lands of poetry and visions. Then a landscape to match which is found beautifully by means of writing as no other discipline seems to allow the desciption of such place(s) as Ink and scrawl.









The models and hair stylists and Make-up artists are all listed  on www.the veranda.co.uk

Huddersfield Indoor Market


Old Market Hall, huddersfield, Yorkshire England

I was in the Indoor Market in Huddersfield off the Piazza yesterday with Becki and Indigo and we were looking for wool and possibly some fruit and some sweets to fill our advent calendar. Shame on me I had never looked up from the dreary lighting, the shop stalls and my shuffling feet. Okay so I looked up and the photograph below taken on a phone just depicts, very badly what wonderful stuff happens when you look up.



     This is always more obvious on the High Street when shop fronts are there to advertise brands and logos and forgetting the brilliant architecture above is common place but looking up is somehow done more ofter. However I looked up for the first time in 38 years and see something that should be in the Barbican, or amongst the concrete structures on the South Bank in London, next to the Haywood Gallery, In York, where a wonderful cafe might reside next to a Cinema. This structure could house something of absolute brilliance. And a market could be this. Huddersfield Markets are amazing, the second hand market on Tuesday for example would again be a revelation in London Town! Back to the Market... this building with imagination could be a market, it could be a theatre, a festival environment, a spacious place for light and culture alongside the tradition and pride of working class in Huddersfield giving outlets current to our population.

     The imagination which is my biggest bug bear in life at present is diminishing the longer things go on. The negative comments about this building are abundant and that is because it is so badly decked out. This place could be amazing, this place could be akin to the National Theatre, a place to rest and think (Oh no don't waste space in place to think sorry) A place to sell things aswell!!! The ideas could be massive and expansive and the building is there ready to be developed! No new build necessary! Just a gutting and then some thought!
