small rain thoughts to pass

I woke this morning to see that the mist had descended from the
peaks to blot the valley out below.typical english weather came down
and was eventually burnt away by the sun.

I spent the other day on a small hike to the waterfall round the back
of of the hot spings here on the valley wall. Very nice walk indeed!
when i got there pristine glacial waters housed all manner of
wildlife. Dippers dipping, dragonflies flying, wagtails wagging.
I just sat there and read played in the shallows for an hour or so with
my trusty kiwi/oz companion who has now gone back to sweaty delhi.
what a lovely time. The valley is home to all manner of beast. Looking up
you can see eagles and hawks in the heights patrolling for the odd carcas.
the waterwall seemed to go on for ever and the rocks each side seemed to be
ideal for sport climbing. more virgin rock here for the fit and luney!!

It made me think of the distance we have put between nature and our
unsustainable life back home in the west. WE have fallen away from what was once a rather interesting marriage with the wild. Living in boxes, moving in boxes, motivated by fear and wants we are divorced from the chance of some kind of union with the cycle s of life.
Theres much more to this theme ....

lets hope that the power stay on and i can write more later

i am off for a walk now to a small village some miles south.

stay smiley
