Honeysuckle

After a little under five years, the honeysuckle I planted on my city balcony is in flower – the sweet smell of consistent watering.

Whatever it was I said before, don’t believe it

Driving in the Troodos mountains, Cyprus, with GGF, breathing clean, pine-scented air, soaked in mediterranean sun, I saw tree-lined valleys falling away before us into a heat-haze distance, and instantly asked that we stop and take in the view. I felt the unmistakable urge to listen to what this place might have to say. I took a few pictures, and then I started to make a video.

I didn’t prepare this little sermon on the mount – it was spontaneous. Speaking mirthfully of the truth, I was taken by surprise when the truth was actually revealed to me.

As a result of making this video, and being so simply reminded about what matters, since returning from Cyprus at the end of April I have completely and systematically revised my work methods and returned to some long-held but temporarily obscured aims. I’m still not 100% certain of how it happened, but I am bloody glad that it did. It won’t show for a few months yet, but the pieces are now in place, and I am happy to post this video to sort of explain why I have changed, if not quite how.

Wish me luck, I might just need it.

Secular Theology

Deepak Chopra is on Seesmic, which is nice as he’s lifted the discourse level somewhat, at the same time as pushing his book, of course… but nothing wrong with that, when it’s on such an interesting subject.

We started discussing the spark of divinity; my Seesmate Dave Shannon said some stuff which set me off on one.

Sheringham Road Light

At this time of year the angle of the sun changes and Islington’s long Victorian streets look quite astonishing.

I made this video in Sheringham Road, N7.
