Looking for locations - the more I think about it the more I am convinced that a Cloud Gate would look great in Brighton. It would certainly look better than the new i360 West Pier Observation Tower that's planned - and which nobody seems to want - and oh dear, its been designed by the London Eye people. The thing is, it shows no street imagination. You will have to pay to get into it, then go to the top to see anything. Whereas the Cloud Gate will be on the ground for us all to walk around and interact with - for free. But what I am really looking for is a return to this: (4) Slow down your busy mind I am doing a huge amount at the moment, my own job plus and I volunteer in Winchester and also volunteer in Brighton, the combination takes up a huge amount of time. And I have just cut eight lines out of this post explaining three wasted hours yesterday at the hands of the medical profession - ooh sah, said Abbi, ooh sah, I will find those three hours from elsewhere but not before I have to go back this morning, to repeat something that could have been achieved yesterday. It is all fine, it is all calm, it is all... it is... and breathe in... and out... and in... the secret of life is to keep breathing... this music is from Bab' Aziz: the prince who contemplated his soul. I came back to it last night as I was reading before sleeping and I was thinking about the new bombing campaign my country has begun in Iraq, and the mess we helped to create. I don't have answers to the problems but i was contemplating the people caught up in the fall out. The women, the children, the innocents... people with feelings and desires and hope and dreams, lots of hopes and dreams, caught up in a Cloud Gate, all swimming around with no one to hear them. (4) Slow down your busy mind - my troubles are first world troubles - ooh sah... they will pass
