Leaving Zaragoza
I’m sitting in the floodlit Plaza del Pilar thinking this is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. The buildings are dramatic works of art...

Huesca
I suppose it began with half a plan to catch a bus out to Delicias – the bus and train space-station on the edge of Zaragoza. I’d asked about buses...

Hi Ewan.

Hi Ewan.
Really enjoyed the mood of this. A trivial point: I wondered whether the crows might be looking "along" the street and up the slope. Great piece on state of mind and forgetfulness. I'm trying to connect the initially squealing...

Wow! penny4athought. What beautiful words to read. Last night, I was thinking of giving up. Serial contemplation of the dry well. When I first started sharing my scribbles, it was with the idea that if just one other person read them and...

What a beautiful thing. It's my daughter's birthday, too. Our gaps and holes are part of what is us. Lots of love.

Nice, Ewan. Slightly less passive than TV maybe, but who is really watching or listening and what will change? Evidence suggests the square root of nothing. The referendum is an example of people using their vote to actually change something,...
