Back To The Mount, The Future, And The Past
“For more than 140 years, this site has welcomed people from all walks of life and from all around the world.” The building took on a new role in 1899, when it was purchased by the Sisters of St. Joseph, a Roman Catholic order of sisters dedicated to caring for orphans and the elderly, educating young girls, and ministering to the poor. Under its new … Continue reading Back To The Mount, The Future, And The Past
Of Landscape & Soul
“There is an internal landscape, a geography of the soul; we search for its outlines all our lives. Those who are lucky enough to find it ease like water over a stone, onto its fluid contours, and are home. Some find it in the place of their birth; others may leave a seaside town, parched, and find themselves refreshed in the desert. There are those … Continue reading Of Landscape & Soul
Just Another Dirty River
Discovered recently that among some of the citizens of this city, our river has developed a bad rap. A co-worker recently referred to it as a ” stinking cesspool “. And I asked her so you’ve spent time by the Thames recently? Ah, no, was her reply. Riiiight. “The Mole was bewitched, entranced, fascinated. By the side of the river he trotted as one trots, … Continue reading Just Another Dirty River
Blackfriars
Blackfriars Bridge – Wrought Iron Truss bridge, build in 1875. “At 216 feet (65.8 meters) it is the longest working span of that kind in North America“, and as a Bowstring style, one of the rarest. Closed to pedestrian-only traffic since 2013, it remains the entrance to the Blackfriars neighbourhood of London. A pedestrian pathway runs along the Thames, through Harris Park, where you may … Continue reading Blackfriars
Miles Away From Grey
As Autumn turns to Winter, I am dancing away and that which once haunted my periphery. Made my way back to The Coves. Those abandoned Apple Trees helped me to cope with a dying marriage. And thinking this morn of how Tim LOVED going for walks he would have loved these places. No bossy Tim, no lying Tim, no addicted Tim, no dying Tim, just … Continue reading Miles Away From Grey
Euston Meadow ~ revisited (again)
Again and again I return. There are more ecologically diverse areas in London, larger, perhaps some may say lovelier. If one includes all the woodsy ways, back roads, and other wild spaces I’ve wandered, few have captured my soul more completely though. One may find it tucked in behind busy Wharncliffe & Baseline, situated where once the city disposed of their waste. It is a … Continue reading Euston Meadow ~ revisited (again)
With Blind Faith And A Bohemian Heart
I realized the strangest thing after ditching D3, I was happier. He began as a Crossroads Man, and that I fear he shall remain. Perhaps a lesson? Always. Everyone they say you meet is in some way a lesson…if we choose to see it that way. My sensual Leo nature purred, and I learned somewhere along the way in my travels that I’d gained a … Continue reading With Blind Faith And A Bohemian Heart
Wild Walks of London | Set One
Today I ventured once again to the Soho District. It’s a new area London is trying to revitalize. The Old Vic Hospital is now gone, and some sort of condo, or hi-rise complex, or some such is going in somewhere near. Some of the older buildings have been kept, but no clue yet what they’re doing with them. The area though runs along the Thames … Continue reading Wild Walks of London | Set One
