The Magic Pinions and The Wizard Wheels

 

“Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins? We know that there are diseases in which occur total cessations of all the apparent functions of vitality, and yet in which these cessations are merely suspensions, properly so called. They are only temporary pauses in the incomprehensible mechanism. A certain period elapses, and some unseen mysterious principle again sets in motion the magic pinions and the wizard wheels. The silver cord was not for ever loosed, nor the golden bowl irreparably broken. But where, meantime, was the soul?”

Edgar Allan Poe – The Premature Burial

Gaia

Mother Earth cries angry, black tears as factories grow, emitting their poisons and leaving behind only blackened and charred remains of what she used to be. Father Time, crushed above her left eye, counts minutes, then seconds, while a murder of crows flock to the last untainted piece of land. What shall become of us?

Greenpeace was formed in 1971. Why don’t we listen?

“Fun is overrated,” said The Circus Boy

Ive tied up a million plus loose ends and can now sit back and think of all the rest of the things Ive been promising to do.

Took a quick trip to Dunfermline last week, as did many. It’s the best random town I’ve ever been to for a gig. I spent most of my time in that massive park feeding squirrels, crows and magpies, found a peacock, visited the abbey several times, wished I could have made use of the skate park behind Carnegie Hall…

I took a lot of photos, may use some of these as a basis for prints.

Now Im off to purchase a heatgun (so exciting) and maybe some flights to Bristol so I can see the Banksy show.
