He had sworn that his every breath would be testament for his love for her.

I ate museli, fed the cat and the rabbit, and watched <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079428/">The Lady Vanishes</a>. I also remembered how I used to write and write and write - for catharsis, for pleasure, for the capture of something that otherwise might fly by too fast to recall or understand. It helps to make sense of things, to tie up loose ends and see where everything smooths out and becomes clear. For me, not much has been captured, offered catharsis or given pleasure for a while. There have been different kinds of capture, release and happiness, but nothing that has compelled me to write.<br /><br />The morning slowly bubbled into rage. Behold, the vanishing girl. Certain certainties and truths I used to know have disappeared. How? When? At what point did I get lost? I forgot to eat my lunch, and reached a boiling point of frustration and discontent that was somehow hilarious in an empty house. So I went for a walk.<br /><br />There are woods outside my house, just a small copse of trees that extend less than a mile, but I would always go there when I was small, when the weather was nice and when I needed to think about something. The wind died down, and the sun shone. Everything was quietly pushing itself upwards and outwards and the birds were calling back and forth to one another. I hitched my skirt up and climbed over stiles, held a conference with a grey horse and a Shetland pony and saw two magpies. I cut down apple blossom and the branches wept petals all the way home, leaving a breadcrumb trail behind me. No great or remarkable realisation dawned on me as I muddied my boots, but there was some kind of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mmwl_3actBc">circumnavigation</a>and my thoughts began to calm and organise.<br /><br />I had not realised how much I had needed a homecoming, or how easy it seems to be to lose sight of yourself. Even if you look yourself in the mirror each day or constantly sign your name on pieces of paper, forgetting who you are, what you want and what you need is horribly effortless. Sometimes you need to be lost for a while in order to realise you need to be found. I want to reclaim my ambition to one day be a part of something <a href="http://www.circumnavigators.org/">big</a> as well as all things small that make a life complete. I need not to vanish.<br /><br /><a href="http://thesnailandthecyclops.blogspot.com/"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366609546075635186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 394px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC2iiFOfTMwS94QX-f7NT2YtzX37CDDx4rf_ctLJR22OLbglzwITqflO0wSqgbz5juiCoeabtJVrvRNpvhw-pUxmp0tLZ56qZBqRs66kV8UTkGCsYzXjtkN-nqayLXmsHb3ihB_3A0vGQ/s400/3758441862_3c9b6b4e4e.jpg" border="0" /></a>fashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03558899215725035368noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224285882426133247.post-58830174833063081952011-03-20T12:43:00.004+00:002011-03-20T12:56:09.325+00:00Flaws<div align="center">I am writing an essay on brotherhood in Irish Fenian tales, another about community archaeology in Scotland and a third comparing two traditional folk-drama plays from where my family live in Yorkshire.

These are a choice few taken whilst on safari at Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater, August 2010. We watched hippos appear and disappear like sinking islands in the water, saw a family of warthogs racing along the lake's shore, scalded dipped fingers in hot springs, rode jeeps standing up, stopped to let baboons cross the road, broke down next to a sleeping lion and wondered if car failure would lead to our grisly deaths, had Mexican stand-offs with vervet monkeys, got dirty and dusty and burnt and enjoyed the most amazing time.</div>fashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03558899215725035368noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224285882426133247.post-90220500263071298672011-01-26T18:36:00.003+00:002011-01-26T18:52:06.757+00:00Half Full<div align="center">I haven't been angry out loud for a long time.
