As the start to tread gingerly across the emotionally tough terrain of January, I realise that I’m already ground down by social media. Coming straight at me is an assault of stupidity, brashness, uncertainty, and despair. It feels suffocating.

I shall be attempting to counter this erosion of the human soul by a simple act each day.

I am posting out into the world an image from nature around me as it continues to surprise, enchant and nourish me. This image will be accompanied by suitable clip of my music. The putting out of this quiet positivity – something which makes no claims – seems to be the only way that I can help myself feel better.

I began this several months ago as an occasional thing, but it now seems appropriate to do this on a daily basis; observing and listening to life around me, and making my own sounds. Hoping that somewhere out there it nurtures a curiosity, a bit of hope, and a moment to pause for someone else.

The only response I feel I can give.
