Alba: Scotland

In a recent 'Channel 4' programme which was about the flagship Brexit TV debate, there were no Scottish representatives... to quote someone who's equally disappointed: "it would have been nice, for once, to have a perspective from all four nations and not just an English perspective" ~ 'all the panel live/work in England' ~ Perhaps that small quotation says enough?

I'm delighted that artisticness, transmits via our genes!  When I write comments about my art interests, it's sometimes a question of having to focus on one or the other... it feels odd, trying to segment this interest, without wishing to form priority - certainly outside my abilities. Implication: 'artisticness' being some form of "gut-instinct'  perhaps, but why question... simply enjoy, and share anyway! Every related aspect and ponderance - good meditation always (smilingly writing). Maybe consider the essence of Art-Zen... feeling a poem coming here... and will post ~    Art-Zen, or Zen-Art for new poem to be writing soon, rela
