Everything is known

June 1st, 2020

How can I move beyond the known? It seems that life has been too prosaic recently. Even though I have completed filming for the first part of the exhibition, I feel a strange lack of engagement. Probably, when I get to editing, it will return. Little observations seem outstandingly important. A blackcap in a nettle patch, a speckled wood butterfly on my hand, resting, gaining strength, similarly with a damselfly which both came in through the door and couldn’t escape. I just waited until they were ready to go. Later, I walked to what I call my meditation spot, a wooden bridge over a brook, behind a hill and about a kilometre form the road. Two weeks ago, I could hear the brook and the insects, now, the brook has dried up and the cars have returned overwhelming any other sound, is this progress?
