Hidden below the brutalist
pebbledash monument,
warm clay bricks by
green water and rushes.
Flowers spill over balconies,
couples talking shyly on
first dates. A refuge from
the towering walls of
glass and metal, those
sculptures of ambition.

Back from down under, after rest and reunion. We saw rainforests, golden beaches, and migrating whales. 🌏

A short poem about #harvest

Autumn is my favourite season 🍂

Sheffield summer skyline 🌇 surrounded by hills

#Sheffield #Yorkshire #Cityscape #Skyline #GreenCity

I see these foxes all over the city. This one is looking for Dean #graffiti

The city shone like
a beacon over the
black hills, past the
church spires. It's lure
is irresistible, the sirens
keep me awake.
I talk to alcoholics about
Shakespeare and teach
myself to lucid dream.
Weightless as a ghost,
I fall into a labyrinth of
neon and mirrors.

Stardew Valley, The Sims 4, Blinx the Time Sweeper from 2002 👾

On the hilltops, under
old oak and ash trees,
I feel content. Hopeful
houses in rows along
the hurrying river,
a meeting place for
makers, artists and
free thinkers.
There's so much
optimism and grit
in the steel bones
of the place.

Grassroots skate communities make the world a better place 🛼

Arthur C. Clarke said “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”

We put a lot of trust into secret algorithms and the huge tidal wave of information online that both empowers and misinforms us.

Words and people and hope.

I forgot this, thank you. Reminded me of A Blessing by James Wright 🦢🐴

Trying to get back into the habit of little Sunday walks in the woods for my stupid mental health!
