So I haven’t written for a long time. Why is that I wonder? No energy? Too much going on in your head? Sometimes you have too much in your head and you can’t think of what you’d put down. But I need some catharsis. Keeping up one’s defences takes up a lot of time and energy. Sometimes the problem is you have to journey through murky territory for the catharsis : this is what you have to do – plunge in. You don’t know what you’ll find. I picked up this leaflet at a Soho bookshop which had to do with some particular kind of therapy: psychosynthesis.

The spirit weaves its own mysterious path. I’ve also been through a testing time of late. As long as we keep the faith in our own path it will be good. We walk together and yet each of us in their own unique way.

Hear that! I’ve spent my whole adult life actively researching an article on the Poverty/Homelessness/Drug Addicted connection.
By now I’ve compiled enough evidence to author a drug trilogy — which, once written, will sell more robustly than drugs! And along the way discovered my true Art & passion: the synthesis of make believe.
Good for me.
Happy Plunging to you.

what you say leighton is definitely worth hanging onto tenaciously when the path seems so alone. as you say, it’s actually everyone has their unique way but we have to remember we’re all walking our unique ways together. do you know sometimes the only sense of ‘togetherness’ or ‘community’ I have felt is when sometimes, when you are dancing, and around you are other people, all on their own, but ‘together’ – to drum n bass music, or to the rhythm of the samba drums. and when i do feel that ‘togetherness’ it is so sublime – because you feel yourself, but ‘together’ with other individuals.

Yes. It’s a fact, girl, that you haven’t written in a while.
Shit, you’re forgiven.
Can’t help feeling, however, that you’re a little bit on the hanging side of down…
Lunch?
