Oak Tree (Apologies to Stan who's already seen/heard this)

2009.11.06

I've photoshopped a load of wrinkles away on this. It was fun. I didn't intend it to be permanent but because of how I opened it up (Thanks Mr. Clarke) it's stuck like it. Don't matter. Wish I could photoshop my real wrinkles away as easily.
So up all night again and another walk. God it was BEAUTIFUL this morning. A bit like the first time. Wet Sunshine. Birds singing. Set up camp under the Oak Tree. It was warm and peaceful. Boy went off with his gun to reconnoitre. I listened to the wind in the leaves and thought about Death. The beginning of this walk always reminds me of 'the valley path' a path from a campsite that we went to every summer for years. I was feeling both places and times together, I haven't changed much, when I suddenly realised that I wasn't a child anymore and that I don't have an infinite amount of lovely days left..... made me very sad for a while. Mortality is such a tricky one to get your head round (for me), possibly the most mortal I've felt ever. Fleeting.

revenant Exercise in stupid logic: assign a value to the total number of lovely days and divide it by the number of days remaining when you were a child. Do the same now you're an adult. The value increases, which means each lovely day should be lovelier as you grow older.

Well, it was worth a try...

kimkadabra Most people don't consider such things until its too late.
I was thinking about Death as well this morning and last night in the context of how I wish to be totally prepared for Death. I do not wish Death to catch me whilst I was drunk or ill or thinking crap thoughts. Every moment of our life is a rehearsal for that moment and what we are at that moment is what we take with us and become. What we are at that very second. Thats the essence of forgiveness, it dosent matter what we were in the past but what we are at this second. We will benefit so very greatly by keeping that in mind throughout our life!
