The Bray Airshow 2022

A Dart at Amiens Street. A train a very crowded one. Destination Bray in County Wicklow. A view of the airshow in prosapect. And this train is crammed with humans, and of course it has to stop at each and evry stop, and of course the people keep piling in. Got talking to a good person from Liverpool, where I had spent more than a little time before. The journey seems longer than it usually does. I look forward to Daly Station in Bray. I stay in Bray for a while. I observe. People, with ice cream on their minds. A funfair, with sophistication, and reasonable prices for those who are brave enough to enter and experience. And then after my looking I need to make my escape, after having seen some aeroplanes flying by, and a lot of living creatures. I get on another DART bound for Dublin, and everything is wrong. This particular little life refuses to function, and all is uneasy.

July

And July is my birth month. And I have never found it quite so warm before. It is the year of 2022 and my mind is open and unknowing. And I am sat in my study, wine at the ready and music on the go, urging myself to keep things simple for a change.And the focus on the world local, is the weather. THere is fear in the prospect it appears.And my belief is that fear is for another day, a distant day, and I won't allow it to reside within me. And I need something to say, if only to myself. I need some kind of newness, in this different kind of place that is here today.
