Of late i’ve been trying to keep busy in order to keep my mind from the news. Afghanistan is nothing short of an utter catastrophe. I know not what fate has befallen those that became my friends.
As ever i have taken to the hills. I always have. My church. My salve. A place to wander and listen and see. I’ve done some teaching which is a good and worthwhile distraction, and of an evening i’ve focussed on finding the tiniest points in the middle-of-nowhere on a map, worked out my strategy and set off across a sea of purple heather for places unknown. Repeatedly.
‘You’re walking. And you don’t always realise it but you’re falling with each step, you fall forward slightly and then catch yourself from falling …’ – Laurie Anderson
