Money market melt-down monday. Less 4×4's, less American fridges, less arrogance, less selfishness, less listnessness, more assonance and alliteration, more poetry, more prose, more humanity, more hope and much much more appreciation of the Arts…

BIG Big Bang Day…it's 3 in the morning, just woken up, with shivers running up and down my spine. I know I'm onto something because I only get this same incredible feeling when I'm creating a picture or playing chess.
I've been thinking about the Swiss particle accelerator project, the Large Hadron Collidor. I've not seen the place because we've not had a TV for about ten months.
Thinking outside the box…human brains, our brains, our minds are contained within a skull, consisting simply of protons, neutrons etc..
Outside our brains, these particles do not disappear they are everywhere and everything. Animal and Man's evolution has managed to order these particles and place them within a convenient area, the head. The particular order is our mind, our individuality. They continue to exist throughout the body and outside the body.
There is no reason for the particles not to exist in infinitely different orders and infinitely similar orders everywhere else as well.
My own unique order of particles is communicating at this moment. These particles are passing their unique energy onto other particles passing through my mind. Thought in Man is simply an ordered communication of particles. These particles have an energy of course and are continually communicating with each other. We don't need a brain for this to happen, it's just that Man has a brain and can make some ordered sense of this energy.
The God particle the scientists at CERN are hoping to find is not so much another particle but a reason for these particles to communicate. I think it's like a giant social network throughout our own minds and beyond.
In a way the particles enjoy communicating with each other giving and receiving energy, like a huge continual social network. It's all a relationship. The invisible particles are the communicators, the visible particles are simply the things we see and touch; trees, birds, humans and where they have naturally decided to gather, to make this world an interesting and natural place to exist.
What a load of nonsence…tired now…back to bed…
Boringpouringrainrainrain…8 tons out then 12 tons in. All is now complete…desperate to paint…went to my studio and fell into a deep sleep instead…
'Graham's response to landscape is contemplative. Creation becomes a challenge as every mark is considered as the aesthetic process unravels towards sublime resolution. Graham's preoccupations are undoubtedly formal, but his technique relies on more than simply a conscious arrangement of shape and colour. Graham aims to intuitively distil the essence of his visual experience in a much more unlimited way. Landscape provides the ideal motif; unrestricted by figures or buildings, an exploration is permitted which ultimately pervades pure creation.' Sally-Ann Schilling.
