Yes, I'm on my own again, well me and Rufus - my daughter's loopy Weimaraner dog. I'm introducing him to Dylan's music - 'Simple Twist of Fate'. Feeling pretty emotional just now; read a post on Carol Anne's blog that took me back a few years and made me think more than I've been doing lately.
I shouldn't really be here, but I wanted to get this down before the moment slipped away and was lost forever. My memory's isn't what it was, and if I don't make notes these days I could lose the moment forever. Right now every moment is precious to me. Talking of precious, I should be writing for Pia but it's been going badly lately. When my emotions are flat I can't write jack s**t, and that's the way it's been for some weeks now. Too much going on in my life I guess. 'Time to make a change' I thought.
So when everyone went out I put 'Blood on the Tracks' on the cd player, put it on permanent replay and turned the sound up high as I could take it. Right away things started to buzz. 'Jack of Hearts' now - 'the only person on the scene missing was the Jack of Hearts' - such unbelievable lyrics. Damn, if Dylan can't inspire me then there's no hope.
So watch out Pia, I'm on my way back - gonna write you something special... 'Come in she said - I'll give ya shelter from the storm...'

Just go with the flow, Chris. What with the move to Falmouth and preparing for the MA, it's no wonder you're feeling a bit flat at the moment. I'm sure it'll start turning round soon. Take care and keep smiling. The inspiration will follow.
