This is a fantastic piece. Very deep

Thank you! It came out more or less like that, a stream of consciousness that actually made sense to me at the time. Still does!

It is a heartbreaking time, when you understand how you feel, can put words to it, but can’t stop it happening.

It's like a David Bowie Space Oddity of love lyrics - ground control to a disenamoured Major Tom

Space Oddity is a song that has had far more influence on me than the Bible. That’s not saying much, it’s true, but there’s a profundity in it that I find completely disarming.
