To a creative mind, intimate objects become personal symbols of our own morality.

One day you, and the people who love you will no longer be around to avoid, or ignore. The next time you think that you've something better to do than being with those who chose you over the world, remember that we face an unforgiving clock that cares nothing for regret.

Here are a mere 20 songs that have inspired, moved, and healed me throughout my life. This is but a small sample for those who trust my opinion enough to listen to them. * The National - 90-Mile Waterwall * Smog - Vessel In Vain * Gomez - Bone Tired * Robbie Basho - Blue Crystal Fire * Badly Drawn Boy - A Minor Incident * The Corries - Loch Lomond * The Longest John's - Bones In The Ocean * Colter Wall - Caroline * The National - About Today * Archers of Loaf - White Trash Heroes * Hatchet Field - Leave The Bodies Where They Lay * Iron and Wine - Upward Over the Mountain * David Gray - Please Forgive Me * Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees * Tom Waits - Jersey Girl * Paul Brady - Arthur Mcbride * Eels - Numbered Days * The Waterboys - Fisherman's Blues * Ugly Cassanova - Smoke Like Ribbons * Modest Mouse - Float On When I travel short or long distances, this is the kind of music I listen to. That's why, in my belief, my mind is somewhat creative. Be it because they influence me, or because I've the kind of mind that needs them, these songs, among thousands of others, are the meditation that guides me through life. I could list endless examples and struggled not to keep going. I hope that you'll take the time to explore a few and find the same love for them I have. I picked tracks that most won't know and a few you may have simply forgotten. Be I walking the mountains, or the streets of London, this is the kind of thing I'm always listening to. Even now, looking at this list I can't decide what to chance. So, I'll leave it as it is and do more in the future. Too many gravitate towards simplistic music that doesn't stimulate the mind in a poetic fashion. Many people find moving music too scary to listen to and label it as boring because deep inside they fear the type of mindset it will incur.🤝

I find that England's villages offer the perfect medium between quaintness and beauty.

Love has made, or broken both men and women since the beginning of humanity. King Richard II ordered the medieval Shene Palace to be demolished in 1394 out of profound grief after his beloved wife, Queen Anne of Bohemia, died there from the plague. The site of the Palace later became Richmond palace which was later demolished in the 1600s. We often detach ourselves from the emotion of our ancestors. But, in reality, their experiences of love, and pain were exactly the same as the ones afflicting us today.

London's majesty is often hid just out of view. This bronze statue of Francis Bacon by Frederick William Pomeroy (1912) resides in front of the law library in the garden that Bacon designed at Gray's Inn, London. This lovely spot sits behind/beside the Cittie of York pub which was once over the road of its current site and said to be a drinking spot for Francis Bacon. This is what modern architects should be aspiring to.

Though I can't be sure, when I'm asked me which London pub looks the best, my mind immediately pictures the Victorian, triangular frontage of the Cockpit on St Andrew's Hill. Thanks to the door, hanging baskets, brickwork, paintwork, windows, old signs, and many other features.

I've always wanted to be in the background of a rap video...... Just standing about, leaning, putting most of my weight on one leg, screwfacing, shrugging my shoulders, a little bounce in my step, nodding my head a lyrics I favour, throwing my hands around like I'm really bad at sign language. I think I'd be really good at that, definitely seems like something I could do

✍️ Emperor Napoleon I to Joséphine de Beauharnais (Empress of France) "I thought I loved you some days ago; but, since I saw you, I feel that I love you even a thousand times more. Ever since I have known you, I worship you more every day; which proves how false is the maxim of La Bruyère that “Love comes all at once.” Everything in nature has a regular course, and different degrees of growth. Ah! pray let me see some of your faults; be less beautiful, less gracious, less tender, and, especially, less kind; above all never be jealous, never weep; your tears madden me, fire my blood. Be sure that it is no longer possible for me to have a thought except for you, or an idea of which you shall not be the judge."
