WOLFEN-Trailer

    

Im in the mood for looking back at films I haven't watched for too long . Wolfen if I remember right was about a pack of wolves that lived in a decaying part of a city that preyed on the weakest such as the homeless . It had a supernatural element to it . The city had replaced nature . If I remember right it had a good philosophy behind it and was quite deep for its time . Like I say , as I remember... ?                       http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfen_(film)    

What no one else can see

After going to Morecambe this weekend I must confess that there is something which amplifies the spirit of Autumn in that town at night . Maybe its the gusty sea wind or the way street lights under trees make the leaves appear more amber .  A sudden gust of wind  blew leaves rattling across a large deserted retail car park , this swamped me with a seasonal emotion more than a countryside scene . It was bleak  and uncompromising  .
   There is something in the town . Its in the dilapidated back streets of decay ( that's most places off the sea front ) . An atmosphere I cant explain . Maybe its of uncompromising decay , of a natural decomposition that's so human . Maybe there is a little Pan in there too . It feels electric when it should feel depressing . Most people do find it depressing . Ive always liked it .
   The surrounding countryside has a history of witchcraft ( Pendle Witches ) and I can feel and always have felt a nice energy around that rather bleak area. Whether that is a left over from magic done there a long time ago I don't know , but whatever It is Ive felt something exciting there for a long while .Of course the sea boosts the atmosphere too , maybe more than I realise..                 .http://www.pendlewitches.co.uk/

Hard to title this I think

Had a strange moment at Morecambe tonight as a gust of wind got up suddenly blowing dry leaves across the car park . Nothing strange about that I hear you say . The only thing was the noise they made was about three times as loud as it should have been  , so much so I stood on several small leaves just to see what their consistency was , the noise was more like pebbles rolling across the tarmac than leaves . It was rather odd .

A puzzle.....



Here is a picture of a sequence of lines that appeared on my car back window glass about two years ago . Water or condensation used to gather on the lines making them stand out . I have never really got to the bottom of what this lay out of lines means . It remained for years . I dont know what could produce scratches of straight lines . Maybe its astrological symbol ?  Thats not my expertise  ( in fact it bores me ) but if anyone has any ideas I would love to know ! I have since sold the car....

A changing perception ?

My perceptions are changing . My blog looks different . My profile picture looks different . Everything looks more cluttered on here . I'm seeing more .  Im seeing more detail . Ive said before as the light fades I get more focused . My world becomes narrow . Mentally I expand , but physically I wane .Maybe this is my seasonal disorder kicking in as the day light hours decreasing  . Im getting more tired and my posts more out spoken  . This will increase as winter comes . Ive decided to label my posts on my seasonal disorder from now on so they can be read as a whole eventually. This should be revealing....

Now thats devotion !



I saw on a TV program that in medieval times some extremely committed spiritual people volunteered to be walled up in a room permanently in their church . They had a window for food to come in to them , a window to see the alter and window facing outside the church for people to come and ask their advice about spiritual issues . There was no doorway in or out .The rest of the persons life was spent in prayer and meditation within their " cell " Imagine that level of commitment ! What mental or spiritual heights could you reach when life was void of all distractions ? Also what mental stress ?    I now find they were called Anchorites . This is going somewhere....  I have a relation who used to live on a housing estate called Anchorite Fields ....                                    






Millennium - Life of a Comet (Frank Black)

  

Im feeling ever more like this as the weeks go by . Soon I will have to find some answers either way . The time is near as they say.....
