I have a secret to share, it is crazily simple but has the power to unlock your life, as it totally scrambles all that deep programming: The last time I did this at scale was in 2020 at here's what happened... I came back from a solo week in Greece searching for my lost mojo, having found it, I handed my notice in on the apartment I had rented in Waterloo for 11 years with no idea where I was going apart from it needed to have a sea view... Londoner born and bred with a penchant for zone 1, forever, this seemed a little 'WTF!' to those who knew me... But, rather than panic, and follow the rationale of: What if I don't find anywhere What if I can't afford anywhere What if I never make any friends What if I regret it Where am I going??? I went into WHAT IF THIS IS THE BEST DECISION EVER? I decided to see what happened if I allowed my mind to spiral up not down: What if the universe loves me? What if there is enough and I am enough? What if this move is going to unlock my life? I set up an online search between Ipswich and Wales (!) and the only criteria was a sea view. I created a vision board, bypassing the brain, sticking together every image that my heart loved. Including a huge blue velvet sofa. I was looking in the middle of lockdown, I was self-employed with no guarantor as my Mum had just died and left me no inheritance. Plus, a whole host of other reasons why this could have seemed like a really dangerous time to uproot all I had ever known. But, I found an apartment beyond my wildest dreams! Talk about sea view, at the bottom is what I look at every day, I can even see it sitting on the loo. And I manifested nearly everything on the board, including the sofa! I moved to a place I had never been to before and knew no one in, whilst we still had 3 more months of lockdown! But I did make some really good, beautiful friends, found so many people who got me, and unlocked my life and expanded who I knew myself to be. THEN a few weeks ago, Just before Christmas, I decided to go all in with another big life change, nothing to do with my flat, I love that, but I made a big leap, took the action and jumped int eh bath to calm down. Then, I made a vision board (twice the size of the last one) and the very next day... I got an eviction notice. I also was told I need a new car. But, I realised I called it in. Rather than being a victim, this is the universe responding to my deep desire to expand more! Life is very exciting, or, if you want to spiral downwards, replace it with scary, that's how I was raised. But after decades of being really miserable most of the time, I decided to scramble my programming. What if it could keep getting better? What if all the risks pay off? What if the best is yet to come? And so what if this is the move that unlocks my life to greater happiness? What if this is the car that takes me to my wildest dreams! So many exciting opportunities have fallen in my inbox in the past week as I live in a what if this is the best thing spiral upward inquiry. Try it for an hour, a day, a week...or three months, what do you think might happen, how good could it get?? I am offering 8 places to those who are available for more of their good to arrive in their world for a 3 month journey. If you are feeling a nudge that maybe this year could really be different, in the most beautiful way, let's have a chat and see if this is the right fit. We begin next Friday so I have opened up a lot of space in my diary: https://hearthealer.co.uk/free-call/ Feel free to share with anyone who needs a nudge to spiral up. With love, Helen x

Imagine going to the doctor with that.

"Give it to me straight, doc. Is it syphilis? Hep C? HIV?"

I won’t speak for more than a few moments, but Peter Larkin’s work is highly interesting to me and I’ve been reading it with attention for quite a number of years now. And it raises some very interesting questions for anyone thinking about and working with language, and in particular it has a special relation to some features of the Cambridge environment with which we are familiar or could be. First of all, the language that we’re normally accustomed to find swirling all around us is mammal language, that is to say it’s promoted by pronouns that are actions of agency with intentional structures, making and causing activities to occur through the force of verb structures which are built into the habits of the human language community. They are muscular and they are assertional. And the language that Peter is interested in is not muscular because trees do not have muscles, and therefore are not in that sense assertional structures.

he read to us from the Orkney writer [Mark Dickinson*] was preoccupied indeed with networks, and indeed in the organic world of plants and of trees the networks that are promoted, mostly underground but also in the air in relation to the canopy structure, and leafage and foliage; these structures are interrelational in a way that is not to do with muscular agency or with the deliberate causation of events in the order of actions and activities. This is a different world, and it’s a world that is to do with these kinds of network and their interrelations and the way in which they exert influences upon each other and cause actions to occur that are not the result of pronoun agency.

This is of interest to us because the language forms which Rackham is by implication interested in are not the forms of active syntax, they are to do with the lexis, that is to say the way language is made up of words in the lexical sense of the deposits and relationships which comprise words before they are recruited into the action of human agency. In that sense, words in the lexis have as we know rootsand stems, and the roots of words branch out into branches and into trunks, and in that sense the predisposition of words, to have in historical time and in semantic space a way of branching out and interrelating and creating networks of function, are separate from the kind of uses that might be made of that language by for example a TV commentator or a politician or any of those people who use language to exert muscular power over or within the development of human social practice.

The latency of the lexical structure of language is what writers have a particular affinity for, and a particular power of connection with; and in that sense our community here studying roots of language and the way in which these roots develop their own internal agency and activity is part of the world of the organic connection of the whole relation of language to world and to nature, before man starts to put his hands on it and make things happen. It’s prior to this and it’s that aspect of things which I think Peter Larkin’s work demonstrates so strongly and which makes it, to me at any rate, so interesting. Sorry to have taken up your time.
finally managed to get hold of "Women in Love" as referenced in this post, the film I mean.DH Lawrence famously liked to climb trees naked and some of the writing is pretty incredible. I'm reading his bio at the moment despite never having read anything by him yet.
A Lover of Nature: Lawrence and Ecosexuality
We have long known that sex in Lawrence is about much more than human bodies coming together, that it holds significance far beyond the “functional act and a certain fumbling with clothes” he scorn...journals.openedition.org
Classic scene
Ken Russell's director's commentary on this scene:
a lot of the film is about themes of control and power, how people revolt against them. It's one of Lawrence's eternal themes...
now we're going into pure Lawrence here...
the healing power of nature
it's scary to start with
dark, ominous trees
but breaking through eventually into the promise of a new day, the new dawn, a new hope
as usual, there's a little bit of blood around
the healing power of nature, of which i'm in total accord, I live in the new forest, which is very similar to this, and it's a healing balm believe me, if you let it be.
you really have to go for it.
the dew, the healing dew, the fresh day.
washing away all the falseness of hermione.
