Intimations of autumn

Yep, been six months (around abouts anyway) since I added stuff. It's been hot, humid and hard trying to not let the weather get to me this past summer. The old brain box has really had a problem trying to just concentrate on going to work and concentrating on doing that, never mind all the other possibly interesting stuff that might otherwise has been happening.

Though I must admit that as the weather has become a little cooler my mind has been turning over the possibilities of actually getting off my posterior and practicing the gentle art of communication.
The question is, do I start again? Or just keep going in this space? And the ever popular, what the heck do I write about!

I think I will write about that tomorrow ...because this evening Jupiter and Venus have been dancing in the sky as the sun went down. The clouds were an almost lavender lace against a darkening peach sky when I went for my walk after work. In my (incredibly distant) past, I dreamed of seeing the skies of other planets as they circled far stars. The real amazing thing is that, in some ways I have already found my different planet, and on evenings like tonight I remember the blue sky of my childhood and it really is a galaxy away and I live on a very different planet.

How strange that once upon a time I thought that I would have to move through space to get to another planet, instead I have moved through time to reach that other planet. And it is a surprisingly satisfying realisation that I do live on a different planet to the one I was born on.
