Fragments…flights of fantasy… dust in the wind

An ageing gay soul maturing gracefully (or not), hopelessly romantic, clinging to Milan Kundera’s perception of age as “a certain part of all of us that lives outside of time”. What follows is a 🔞 mood board of self discovery through many beautiful thought provoking blogs & postings I’ve found here - an introspective of dreams mixed with reality, of beauty in all it’s manifestations; landscapes, nature, art, spirituality,colour, interiors, lives lived, but mostly men- je suis comme je suis 🏳️‍🌈 … “a repository of unlived things” (Rilke) “Every kind for itself and its own” (Walt Whitman, Song of Myself) “Life wasn't about becoming, was it? It was about being.” (Kate Atkinson, Life After Life). "You have some queer friends, Dorothy", and she replies, "The queerness doesn't matter, so long as they’re friends." (L.Frank Baum, The Wizard of Oz) Comments, messages & thoughts from kindred spirits welcome, as are reblogs. If we connect, please follow. Thanks for visiting.

“Love is universal. Love is the movement of life……No human being or society has the right to condemn any kind of love I feel or my way of expressing it, if I am sincere; sincerity being the honest realization of myself without hurt or pain for my life or any life my life touches”

Walter Rinder, American humanist, poet, philosopher, born 1934

“Spectrum of Love” 1973

The 80s didn’t rush you.

You had time to just lie on the carpet and listen.

No notifications. No endless scrolling. No pressure to be anywhere else.

Just wood-panelled walls, warm lamp light, a stereo humming in the corner, and headphones big enough to cover half your head.

This was childhood before the internet. Slow afternoons. Albums played all the way through. The quiet feeling that you had the whole day ahead of you
