Solid Air

You've been painting it blue,
You've been living on solid air,
You've been seeing it through,
You've been living on solid air,

from Solid Air by John Martyn.
talented musician. beautiful sound. inspiring words.
thank you.

The Songs Of Spheres In The Palm Of Your Hand

by Matthew Stone.

I found this in I-D magazine and thought both the photograph and the poem were simply beautiful. intriguing. ethereal. light. but kind of strange. 
the words for me seem to pin point a certain moment of inspiration, a feeling that isn't even translate-able through words. but this does it.    ironic really.

Bank Street Arts

this is a new scheme I just heard about that has been set up in some beautiful Georgian buildings behind Sheffield cathedral. It looks fabulous and I must take a peek.
