This will revolutionise your perception of....

So Vanilla Ice told us all to "stop, Collaborate and listen, Ice is back with my brand new invention, Something grabs a hold of me tightly, flows like a harpoon daily and nightly, Will it ever stop? I don't know?" Nobody knew what he was talking about then. And still don't. However, hopefully this may shed some light on other matters...

The Rifle’s Spiral by The Shins from May 2012 playlist

This is prophetic. But filled with foreboding. Like a doubt stalking you at night. Like a shadow skulking behind you, growing longer with the sunset. The innocent blissful ignorance of day time is fleeing, to be replaced by the all consuming future.

What lies beneath?

There is something beautiful about this image. Inherently gorgeous. Considered and yet powerful. 

There is also an element of the unknown. Which of itself is concerning. Fearful almost. 

What is it about the unknown that is frightening and uncomfortable? 

I do my best work when it is unknown

The power of the ‘book

In a vast majority of the developed world, the ‘book is a reference to a time consuming and all consuming social networking/information gathering service. 

But what happened to reading a book. 

Clearly not this one, after it has taken ‘use your imagination literally’. 

Shame that. ‘Twas a good read. 

Absence makes the (something)

The old adage that absence makes the heart grow fonder infers that there was something lacking in the beginning. Something in ones past that means that the individual heart in question was missing something, or had a key element removed from it.

Whether this is an accurate construction of the saying poses a broader question. What is it that makes the ‘heart’ such a fascinating concept? Why is it the focus of so much literature and debate. How can one die of a “broken heart” beyond the literal necessity for living?

It creates an allure around an intangible notion. One that is described with reverence and almost bated breath. Even in the written form. So what is it that we are actually talking about? And why are we talking about it?

Just be glad that yours is still beating.
