Bredonborough The sky is blue

12.14

Bredonborough.

The sky is blue, with large clouds moving briskly to the south, and the sun is shining.

Reflection continues. New reading: The Sacred History Of Britain by Martin Palmer (Watkins 2002). This addresses the sacred that is present in the landscape & in certain places, and suggests we may ourselves create a sacred place. This supports the view that "The Guitar Craft House" is an intentional construct, not specifically limited to any particular building in any particular country. And, that once this house is established, it may continue to resonate and be available.

The sacred that is present within the act of music, alongside the humour, pathos, excitement & sexuality, is put outside the event by Mr. Clueless of Budapest and his family of kinship & affinity. Mr. Clueless demands that the musical event is bound by laws of commerce: I bought a ticket with my hard-earned pay so I have rights - the right to act like a jerk and to behave in any way I want. This is The Right Of The Clueless.

If the musical event is a commercial transaction, and if I am to endure the demands of Mr. Clueless, I want more money. A lot more money. More than he can afford, I feel.
