The Climb

A little bloggy honesty: last week wasn't very good. Woke up feeling like a pickled arse most mornings. No matter how much you love what you're doing, there are always some days/weeks when things just don't seem to flow

And sometimes you just get tired of the view.








By the end of the week, if you had looked into my brain, this is precisely what you would have seen:





Tangent: I read Dune the other day. Apart from being an unexpectedly readable and enjoyable story (what? I was expecting pages of scientific ramblings and no female characters), it was full of philosophical insight and quotable quotes. My favourites:

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

"Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a little to test that it's a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain."

I, and a lot of people I know, can see the mountain. Looking forward to a fresh view from the top.
