Like a crazy quilt stargown through a dream night wind.
Whilst I've been reading a book about the ritual use of hallucinogens , I've been suffering with a cold. On the plus side it has made thinking about altered states of consciousness easy, but I have felt mostly horrible.
This is the first time since Thursday that I've had a feeling that I'm seeing the world without a filter between me and it. My temperature has returned mostly to normal and I can breathe again, there are inklings that smells exist and my eyes feel clear.
I'll be left with a persistent cough and a red nose for a while, but yippee for feeling slightly better after proper, have to go to bed for the day, illness.
I found out that Seasons of the Witch by Donovan is good for meditative breathing and that the Grateful Dead make a lot of sense in a twilight world where reality is a half remembered idea.
So I suppose nothing ventured, nothing gained.
It was too cloudy to see the super waxing gibbous moon last night, but I did have a photography worth experience in a wood yesterday. We visited Prior's Wood which is quite close to us, in search of bluebells. We were probably a week late, but the rain a week ago was extreme and made going anywhere outside a very unpopular prospect.
we found some, but if we'd wanted to see wild garlic flowers we would have been ecstatic, there was loads of it and quite a lot of mud too
The only problem with the wood really, was that you can hear the hiss of the motorway, but as we live quite near the M4/M5 interchange anyway we kind of zone it out.
I'm looking forward to reading Secret Roads by my friend Simon Williams at some point and we are thinking of going to see Marvel's Avengers Assemble as it is directed by Joss Wheedon. There is a plan to go to Winerbourne Down Carnival today, but it's raining in a quite determined way at the moment, so I'm not sure about that. Hope you're all enjoying the bank holiday weekend.
