Back From Glastonbury

[poliphilo]

We looked out the breakfast room windows this morning and saw vapour trails criss-crossing the sky. The Transport Minister- Lord Adonis- I can't hear that name without chortling- denies that he was pressured into lifting the flight ban by that pop-eyed buccaneer Willy Walsh- but he would, wouldn't he?
 
We're back home. I feel I could write a 1,000 page book about Glastonbury. What I will write, but probably not today, is a series of brief, tidy LJ posts.

We stopped in Tewkesbury on our way home. I'll write about that too when I'm not so tired. Ailz has already gone to bed. As almost always happens when we take a holiday, we've pushed ourselves to the point of exhaustion.

I love Glastonbury. Recently we've taken to going at least once a year. Yes, it's a free-spirited place, but there's plenty of darkness there too.

It seems you can't have the thing that people want from a place like this- the freedom, the beauty, the truth- without there being predation and exploitation and dependency...

That was true of Santa Cruz, too. Lots of street people, lots of extremes of light and darkness.

It makes me appreciate my underappreciated home city- which seems to have a handle on such things. Ordinary is good.

That's true. Glastonbury is good to visit. But would you want to live there? Ailz and I were talking about this. She was saying you could burn out very quickly in that over-oxygenated atmosphere.
