Trying to find solace

 And it isn't easy. 

I've been lucky enough to be back outside on the bike, so that's helped. Overall, the past week or so has been fraught with many issues, but above all it's been a case of one issue just creating another. Logistics is like an ever-evolving fractal: it just keeps sub-dividing and expanding. 

One issue makes two more. Then those two make four. Sometimes the biggest test is not solving the eventual issues, but trying to maintain a thread back to wherever it was that started everything.  The album above, has certainly helped put my head into a better space, while the storm rages around me. 

 Meanwhile, It's the Coronation weekend, so I'm hoping for memories to be imprinted. I'm certainly no royalist, but I'm acutely aware of the fabric of our society, how it shifts, and the things which ground our values. Extraordinary days like this are a chance to see history unfurl - you don't have to like that history, or agree with it, or cleave to it in any way; but it's something that shapes your life. I may not be a participant, but I'm certainly a watcher.
