Quite by chance I drifted into your blog space today and was extremely moved to read your heartfelt piece on the baby. I am wishing all will be well for your family and also that the book launch will be brilliant.

The need to believe there is something out there that just might reach out a hand to us in the deepest gloom is, I think, fundamental. It is part of our conciousness and should be at least ‘allowed’ even if not accepted as a faith in a God of some sort. As you say, I think, best to just leave the door ajar…and to be aware when something might be being offered…possibly.

The need for birds. I have seagulls drifting sublime on the unsubstantial air above my head, intelligent feathers reasoning airflow, Bernoulli, thermals, vortices, afloat, to sublime grace. Hurtling through their leisurely formations like fighter biplanes go the boisterous doves, aerobating, clapping wings in self-congratulation. Jackdaws, cheekiest of all, perch along the ridge of the Jubilee Hall roof next the landed gulls, turning teasing heads as they hop aggressively sideways, jostling. Sunlight catches the razor blue of jackdaw black and pink light sets light to seagull breasts – Pale Fire.
