"The writers of history have seldom noted the importance of land use. They seem not to have recognised that the destinies of most of man's empires and civilisations were determined largely by the way the land was used."
-Dale and Carter: 'Topsoil and Civilisation' (1955)

If you time it just right, you can topple a crouching rat with the gentlest push.

Snow patches around the mountain summits but bare feet above them on springy sun warmed grass, glorious.
Good to visit higher levels of sky.

Falling though the heavy high volume industrial electronic crystalline music sinking down towards asleep.

Hitched a lift with a guy who has rescued among other people, David Beckham and Prince Charles from broken down vehicles, he did enough to convince me he had anyway.

Sunburnt swaying in a hammock with the draft of an amazing book written by a friend.
Books written by friends opened up great worlds.

Feasting.

Happy Easter!
