avevale_intelligencerStill here. Trying to write a fanfic which if it takes off I shall probably post episodically, to general confusion. Feeling like I'm going through the motions.
The absence of my music kit has not, as I imagined, provoked a mad rush of ideas for music. So much so that I'm now worried that there won't be any even when I've got it back.
Thinking about many things. The way we simplify our lives by the symbols we use. Progress, the straight line from past to future, no deviation possible, no blind alleys ever, regression always a bad bad thing we must avoid at all costs. Or the great circle, returning always to the same point, travelling always along the same path, no change possible, no libration, the only alternative the outer darkness of oblivion or the inner darkness of nirvana. The family tree, always tracing back to the one pairing where we decide it started, then branching neatly in pairings back to the future and us, ignoring all the other trees that twine around and criss-cross ours; not so much a tree in a forest as a single bush in a box thicket, and even that is over-simplifying because the bushes grow into each other. Symbols make things easier, but there's always a price.
I still haven't had the courage to listen to Talis' album all the way through, or to formulate my response to the way her songs make me feel.
So, just a bit down over here.
But, America has taken a tiny baby step towards fairer health care provision for most if not all, or so I gather. I rejoice.

Blackthorn Winter is meant to be a quietly positive ending, honest.
