Diana Stones Songs, glass cage, music, Musings

I  am lost and clueless.  And my mind is blank.  We write a script for our lives and at a certain point we reach the last chapter. But what if everything does not stop there. Then what?  Today has been an unintentional rest. I got very stressed yesterday and today I have just stopped. I am not sure why. Perhaps because I dont feel there is much I can do except have a bit of faith that some answers will come to me eventually. Sometimes perhaps to paraphrase “Do or do not there is no try” one should say rather “Do not or try”.  I feel personally I am at the end of things, though rationally it does not make sense.  Its a very uncomfortable feeling and profoundly  disturbing.  Just waiting for the doom to strike out of a clear blue sky.

Seems Like Summer

Musings

Blue sky’s , warm and a still day at the time of writing.  The mud pie builders are still digging in what will be the public open space which seems no nearer  to completion than it did 6 months ago. So the digging  dinosaurs move te piles of earth around again. at this rate maybe they will still be at it until 2022.  One pile of earth gets moved to another pile of earth in stately procession like some ancient ritual whos origins and meaning have been lost 100’s of years ago, but are still continued to appease the spirits of earth and air and ensure good harvest of identikit  new build homes perchance?

I  have just sent off a few tracks to compete for some radio airplay opportunities as I havent done so since  Christmas. Its an act of faith really, nothing ever seems to come of doing so but you feel you have to try.
