So many security guards outside shops here, still managed to leave a few around though.

A rainy day but there’s always somewhere to leave to some books.

Take two similar areas, one empty and one densely populated; it is the one that is populated that will feel greater in size. A vast empty plane after relatively few journies through it permits you to learn its character, all the hiding places an punctuatiuon marks that make it yet a populated area takes years to learn to the same degree. There are too many corners to turn, too many changes of view all leading to a sense that you could get lost. It is human activity tied to a changing landcape that define how much opportunity we see on the land.

Hopefully a few people found something interesting to peruse over lunch

It’s nice to be back distributing the books

Thoughts can’t be trusted, their context is often lost over time as they metamorphose into memories, all they can claim as their own is a collection of images. Feelings, they don’t live by such constraints, time is an irrelevance, they would rather concern themselves with shaping our experiences and models of thought, mine our instincts. Feelings, impressions of events and their meanings, should be trusted, that particular, distinctive cocktail of thought attached to that moment says far more than any constructed notion, maybe one day we’ll work out how to read them.

Or even if you didn’t come from Google, that’s OK.

Here’s a thought on travelling: always leave a place just before you feel like you know it.

Don’t go up that intriguing alley way, skip that day trip to the mountains and leave that bar just when you think it’s getting interesting. Do this and you’ll preserve the romance, the thought that something magical could have happened, that way the place stays alive in your mind, rather than suffering the rigor mortis of  turning over every stone. Let places live.

Just a quick, cheeky little one

As seen by Kent, thanks Kent.
