Ready For A Walk

In the time between action, within the mundane acts of day-to-day life, reflection takes us back. Reflection takes up back to drive us forward. During my earliest winter days in Aberdeen I watched from my kitchen window. Time ticking and bubbling away, lingering on the edge of my periphery. Hints and traces of what was, combined with what could be. I waited, I listened and I watched. In the all encompassing grey of the ‘Granite City’, I longed for inspiration.
