The final post sent from East Anglia with much appreciation for a 2 week residency with uncertainty.
Solitary, but not solitary…company and compatriots in other guises – pebbles, paper, sand, water, vegetables, air and gravity.
THE CONTAINERS [or some of them]
This blog A quick repository, especially useful framework for week 1, before the flow gained momentum.
Writing Sometimes in the dark, useful for planning, unblocking and for its own sake.
Notebook, handmade, not precious. (Note that the beautiful book kept saying ‘don’t spoil me’ which wasn’t helpful)
Bowls, jars, microwave, paint brushes, paper. For making and holding colour.
The walk Receptacle for the expansive spaces.
The house Exemplar container – uncluttered from demands and distractions, porous – door opening to the sea. Holding and enabling.
The screen Restricted internet access which reduced reliance and flagged up the attention theft. This container enabled the blog, but opaque, disingenuous and seductive – use cautiously when opening to uncertainty!
CONTAINERS [without human priority]
Pebbles and rocks. Containers of deep time stories of seismic movement, powerful compression and intense heat.
The sea. Permeable container of energy and so much unknown (to humans).
The sky. Vessel of much invisible matter and ambiguous edges
Non-human language. Does not recognise the above categories.
