I was just walking along, on a very normal day, along a very normal street, when a rather strange thing occurred.

I woke up this morning full of energy and full of beans and yet I found myself musing how subtle are our moods; in moments we can find ourselves shifting down a few degrees and suddenly we can feel in a completely different mood; uncertain and very much less than enthusiastic. But I don’t think this is essentially bad. Oh no? I hear you say.

No matter how well maintained all the rest of the connections are, like the lights on a Christmas tree, it just takes the one to snarl up the works. And unlike that Christmas tree, it isn’t always so obvious when we are dealing with people.

We all know that making changes can be a variegated experience. Your horoscope for instance, can spin out phrases such as “it’s now time to take stock and make the necessary changes”

Is it coincidence that as we hit the first days of Spring I am experiencing a flow of fresh energy endowing all my undertakings with an extra level of focus and “thoroughness”.

Autumn is all too quickly disappearing . It is very swift of foot, promising so much lustrous colour and then moments later, just as the wash of colour is intensifying, hey presto the canvas of tawny tones is whipped away with a flutter of leaves in a draught of wind. There they lie, these leaves now muddied and dried out, the bane of the gardener or street sweeper. Where is their glory now? Nevertheless, the trees stand noble and stark somehow beautiful as they arabesque their outline against the sky; changed but not chastened.

It has been two weeks since I flagged up my confusion and misery about the whys of so many disparate acts of brutality and unjust pain in the world. Not great fun to read and certainly not great fun to be experiencing but that was what had hit me … like a bolt from the blue.

Well, I have thrown away my crutches of set beliefs…and I am still standing. The thing is that I didn’t know I was using crutches, but what I did know was that something wasn’t right.

I am feeling better … as in I don’t feel so lost.

It has been a sombre week both for the world and for myself. I am sitting nursing feelings that don’t feel good.I feel as if I am stuck in a time warp and that whatever I try to do to climb out of this has no effect; I just cannot change things.
