the human bundle.

If you took me apart, set me in pieces, separated all the parts of me, it would soon become clear that I am a bundle of all elements. Here's the bit that loves academic work and here's the bit that finds it a chore. Here's the bit that loves fresh air and living landscapes and here's the bit that debases physical existence. The divisions go on and on...

Put it all together and you have a functioning human being.
Disassemble it once again and you have a collection of contradictions.

It's a marvel.

365? we'll see...

A friend of a friend has challenged herself to blog every day of the new year, so I thought I'd see how long I could manage it for. Posts may be a single word or something more substantial. I don't think I'll last long, but we'll have to wait and see...

The new year began for me with a hillside in darkness and frost on my eyelashes, frozen bog under my boots and rose tinted mist. I approach 2009 as I approach any new day, new week, new month. But the sense of unknowing is amplified and I find myself somewhat anxiously hurrying to discover the adventures of the future.
