Exit muse–Liz Taylor
She was a muse before – but today seems like a reasonable day to repost her.

Early Spring Till
I was out there missing steps, when you swung around to me
Best to land, not to crash, pulling out too late
Call on everyone you ever knew, and pleadWell I’ve been the bum who’s underfed
I’ve been the one who should’ve said
Maybe I’m wrong and I’ve always been that wayAre you tired, do you feel… wrung out?
Have you fallen from where glory sprouts?
Are you cut off in fields and pressed down?
Like an early spring till that don’t come aroundI think I’ve been there
I think I’m waiting too long
You tried this, panting and poured,
You set a course to cross me out.Are you tired and broken, once so stout?
Are you full of the feeling, don’t doubt it when it’s gone?
I could cut off this reel and leave now
I could fill up with air and scream so loud.I think I’m going to…

Working with passion…
I’ve been posting lightly over the last few weeks, because I’ve been working on a new project which launched on Thursday night. I’m proud to announce that www.shootclay.co.uk is live – a new resource for Clay Pigeon shooters and enthusiasts.
I’m really proud of the work we’ve done there, it’s my first venture into launching a niche site about my hobby – I took up shooting a couple of years ago, and have found it really enjoyable, as well as a good aid to focus on concentration.
Above all else – I’ve really enjoyed working on something I’m really passionate about – a small percentage of people have the opportunity to work in an field in which they are truly passionate, some people are lucky enough to grow passion around their work. I’m lucky to have done both – I’m passionate about my work… and now I have a role to play in a project which caters to my new obsession. Lovely!
Are you doing work you are passionate about? Even in your spare time?
Our greatest glory…
As Friday arrives – we realise that next week is another week in which to bounce back even better than the last…
Christchurch, New Zealand
My thoughts are with the people of Christchurch, who are starting to deal with the aftermath of a terrible earthquake.
The picture above (taken after the previous tremor on 4/9/2010) shows just how malevolent a tremor can be with a flexible structure, it is not hard to imagine what happens when the same forces meet inflexible structures like buildings.
Best wishes to all those affected.
