It’s been a cold grey January here in the Fens: plenty of rainy, windy days. Daylight hours are getting noticeably longer, however, which is a welcome consolation. There was even a touch of blue sky and sunlight this afternoon casting shadows across the living room.
READING
My reading picked up as January progressed and I finally unglued myself from my manuscript. Books you might enjoy from my non-fiction shelves, include Returning Home To Our Bodies, by Abigail Rose Clarke – a deep somatic enquiry into the relationship of the body and the world with lots of practical guidance from Abigail based on years of personal and professional experience.
And then there is the hard to describe States of Mind published by the Wellcome Collection. The subtitle, Experiences at the Edge of Consciousness, gives a clue to this collection of short essays, snippets, and images from diverse perspectives: philosophers, scientists, artists. It’s like a box of trinkets and curiosities.
It was also great to get back into some fiction and I am currently bewitched by the Scattered All Over The Earth trilogy by Yoko Tawada, which is dystopic but somehow charming.
