Give me Light 2026

 Time  keeps on s;pping, slipping ,slipping into the future.  (Steve Miller Fly Like an Eagle) My head always seems to have something appropriate soundtracking the daily demands its twists and turns ,its branching this way and that. Sparks Beat the Clock is one. Lately I am  a bit Steely Dan and Scritti Politti. 

Is is escapist back to the 70's 80's or good old 2006? there does not seem to be any sanctuary anywhere in the political past really and our own  sanctuary is in what, our choice of poisin and medicine. Mine is art and music. Obsessions and distractions. From the unlimitless sense of powerlessness to invoke a change. 

Right now I am doing lots of walking and doubling my journey times avoiding the burdensome car ownership, planet poluitng. Just hitching, sharing, train waiting, riding and bussing.

Silver linings . On leaving the train yesterday I met a friend I had not seen since November so we went and had a drink missed our bus had another drink then enjoyed

an extra two hours of chat from Aberystwyth to Cardigan on the final  leg of our journey.. well almost  I did have one more bus and 30 minutes walking before home.

I had a  mini break away visiting some family, feeling the loss of some, seeing another dear old friend, catching the sun, showers and breeze of Moreton Shore. Culture, browsing. a hair cut and some work work work. You can not escape the texts, emails, etc it seems. Thank the gods for  colleagues and so ons for keeping in touch with me and spurring me on. 2025 was a tough year for so many let's work together to win 2026 to the light.
