NOUGHTS AND CROSSES

NOUGHTS AND CROSSES

Kew 

Mar 2006

Some moments will never happen again. To you, or anyone else. I know that this won't. Over breakfast my wife Christina said: Oh look, and pointed out the window.  I sprinted to catch these contrails. 

The contrails (or their pattern anyway) may contrive to exist again. The tree was cut down the next year.

So this moment, like our lives, will pass forever, captured only in this image.

That, I suppose, is a form of immortality.

WORLD LEADERS

My! What a cast of characters. Burlesque-oni. The little Emperor. Putin's lapdog. Obamarama. The Asian Emperor. An African potentate. And......

Oops! I skipped one.

The Rap Star and man formerly known as Qaddafi. Now THERE is a man who has definitely, but most definitely, LOST HIS MARBLES.

Power corrupts. And absolute power corrupts absolutely.

THE SKY OF THE SKY OF A TREE CALLED LIFE

THE SKY OF THE SKY OF A TREE CALLED LIFE

This is my niece, Elizabeth Pettigrew. She and her brother and sister James and Catherine made an amazing video for their parents Lane and Gloria, based on a poem by ee cummings called i carry your heart with me.

I CARRY YOUR HEART (Large File 70Mb)

i carry your heart with me

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

my heart)

i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)

i fear

no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want

no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
