This video got lodged in my brain somewhere. When I sit down to write something or play something or whatever, sometimes I need to get into ‘the right mindset’. So I might watch this a couple of times with some nice music on.
It’s got me looking forward to sitting somewhere quiet near a tree when the leaves come back and also looking forward to watching them fall off again.

There’s a lot of D. H. Lawrence I like and a fair bit I’m not keen on. I’m into the whole modern framing of archaic aesthetics, romanticism, reverence of nature and stuff in art and music at this very moment. The sight, smell and print of this artifact are nice inspiration.
For God’s sake, let us be men
not monkeys minding machines
or sitting with our tails curled
while the machine amuses us, the radio or film or gramophone.
Monkeys with a bland grin on our faces.
Go on, read a poem today.
