The Third Level
I was given a meme ‘ Your life in a day.’ I have been reading about Memetics and I decided that this meme could and would encompass just one true day in my life. What I did, what I saw but more importantly why I did it and how I saw it. What I thought and why. A self examination, a Socratic Interrogation. Just another day.
I plan to keep this space to revisit the meme from time to time as a way of providing a snapshot of life in relation to my environment.
M. has challenged me. I have decided to accept. Find it at Value Judgements.

Running
I am a trail runner. I run off road, in the country. I used to be an urban runner: a road runner. Mostly because it never occurred to me anything else and partly because I wanted to run early in the mornings all year round. The street lights in towns and cities made it possible.
I used to run seventy to eighty kilometers a week. It was an addiction. The resulting severe weight loss and bouts of pneumonia mean that now I can only run about 50k a week but I enjoy every step.

Eating It
This is Endive or Chicory. It tastes bitter. I liked what I saw so took the photograph, that’s all.

Reading Matters
I read every day. I try to read books every day. A book and a Kindle will never be the same. As I have grown older I have found books have become richer, more sage, in short they have changed. For example I first read The Great Gatsby when I was seventeen. Then I thought it an amazing story of hopeless love. Twenty years later, I realize Gatsby was a psychopath and Daisy had Bipolar, probably as a result of Post Natal Depression. Maybe I am just more cynical now.
