Im at Notre dame - my old schools, and they have set up a fruit stall selling loads of really nice looking vegetables and fruits from all around the world - Bananas, melons , magoes, papayas, etc. I feel really tempted by the bananas ,so I buy some. There's a musical lady, who is a friend, and who's going to do the healing music in the maths room. I follow her up the stairs to go and listen. I meet Gaga, and he is showing me a video of him, and dad and matthew are with us. Gaga has done these abstract sculptures with huge dicipline, and he wants to work hard. This mbira lady is talking to me. I am trying to find work in teaching, i am telling her, because I have no money. She accepts me , and says she will find me work. I am traveling to escape; there are these big trucks, and they cant escape, so they transform and now they come back as little ones, so they can fit through the gate, and escape. I meet a guy who is living on his own, trapped in a flat. I see he has growing skills. He needs help, but he doesnt have the access or the experience. I meet Rich , and we are friends again. He is telling me about biodynamic herbs - thyme helped him with smoking. He has found this special producer with a special name begining with S.

The special energy center, the house between the trees, and the tree clearing

I am with a large group of friends and extended friends. We are in a special energy center - like a nuclear power station. The leader of our group goes into this room, while we watch from behind glass, and he manipulates this energy matter, which is very dangerous. We know it is, because when it is moved about it makes the whole building shake. We all watch in amazement, as only someone with a huge amount of experience and confidence could do such a job. - I am traveling through these big woods in sheffield, and I bump into chiv and Pauly C. They are looking at collectively buying a new house which has been hidden in the woods for many years, and only when people started clearing the trees did people discover it was there. We watch some of the tree clearing going on too. There is this enormous ash tree that has been hit by lightening, and its not safe, so we are cutting it down. I am up in the tree helping hold ropes and things while people work with chainsaws. There is also this other unusual method people are using, which involves bashing the tree at the right spot. Its quite scary, sitting in the tree while I watch huge limbs falling this way and that. I can feel the tree shake as they hit the ground, and I have to hug the thick branches to make sure the vibrations don't shake me out of the tree.

The Secret Name of God and the Landscape Project

i'm with K and we are foraging around for plants. S comes along, and S has found a magic formula which can tell you the secret name of God. It involves a series of number puzzles, as well as landscape recognition, and plant identification. We start working through it together, slowly piecing it together. We are curious what we will find, as S has told us that the secret name of God is one of the most powerful things you can know in the whole world. As we explore the formula our awareness of the world around us begins to expand... ---- I'm with my brother and we are talking about how easy it is to get addicted to smoking. My mum is there too, and she is listening and is curious about what we are saying. ------ I'm with dad, and we are looking at one of his old landscape projects which was dealing with the drainage system around the university, and how it feeds into a sustainable drainage system, which deals with the waste sewage from the buildings. Rawley from coed is there too, and he has also been involved. We are all stood at the point where the sewage comes out, and dad is explaining how deep it is, and how the plants around this area neutralize the acidity of the sewage water. Dad is now telling me about his sculpture, and how he has become a lot more focused recently on what it is he really wants to do. He shows me forms and drawings that he is working on, and some of the commissions that people have been asking him to do.

The toilet block event, and the church gathering and the flood

I am in Sheffield, and I am down in the park by the toilet block, with Pete, and we are planning on setting up his big rope and netting equipment, between the trees and the toilet block, which is being redone and improved by the council. Its quite a large project, and they have scaffolding around it. Its raining and we see john, and he comes over. My parents drive by- they are off to visit relatives somewhere, but I decide to stay to help out with petes project. At some point it stops raining and everyone is gathering together to see the new building, and I'm trying to explain something to someone, but I really need a poo, so I think I can just sneak away into the woods, but when I do, the dogs follow me, and the owners are all around, taking their dogs for walks, and there is no hidden place in the woods for me to do my poo. Oh no, I'm going to poo myself if I don't find somewhere quick..! Too late! ------ I am going to this churchy gathering, its a christian event, which a lot of people have recommended to me, its apparently quite lively and people really get into feeling it there, gospel style. The journey there is tricky. We are driving through Birmingham, and on the way, we have to go along these train tracks, and a train comes straight towards us. I jump off the bus, but luckily the train grinds to a halt just before it gets to the bus, inches away. We arrive at this modern church, it looks a bit like a swimming pool from the outside, and I go down some stairs into this room and meet this girl who I have seen before. She has dark skin and is very attractive and lively. We hug, and go into this room. Lots of people are playing and singing music, and as the intensity of the music rises, people lift up their hands in praise. I start to tone with my voice, and there is this organ which I play along with, and the music rises. I get a bit carried away, and as the music is dying away, I'm still singing out with my hands raised in the air. Now, after this, somehow I find myself up on top of a hill. There are puddles every where, flooding this cricket ground, which is surrounded by woods, and N is playing batting against this bowling machine, and is smacking the balls, taking out all his anger, and they are flying right out into the woods, and then we are all having to go look for them. While looking I bump into adriano and he is making a spliff. He needs my lighter to help seal the gap in the sticky bit - by holding a flame by it, it curls up and seals it, as if by magic.

the techno underground snakes

I'm with Mick, and we are traveling along this urban landscape, and there are these giant wormlike snake creatures, which come up out of the ground, a bit techno style,and eat things up, and then travel back underground. They are a bit like trains, and such like transport. They are quite harmless and passive, but massive and scary non-the-less. Now I am traveling with AL, to do this gig. We bump into Alys, and she says we have gone to the wrong place, we need to be in hillsbrough. Oh no! We are going to be late! We jump back into the van, and drive as quick as we can. We are meant to be first up!

The spiritual center by the sacred spring, and the trip to the beach

I've gone on a school trip to this spiritual center. Its in a sacred place, built around a sacred spring. Its a large center now, with thousands of people living there, but it started out as simply this couple who had had a vision of setting something up, upon visits to the spring. They felt it was a very special site, and it needed honoring. So, the spring was left as a central feature to the place, around which all the other buildings were built. When we arrived we were all shown to our dormitories, and then we went into a big group room, and we were given a choice as to what we wanted to learn while we were there. There were lots of different activities to get involved with; bee keeping, gardening, dancing, art - painting, as well as graffiti styles, music, cooking... About everything you would want to do. This spiritual community placed a very great emphasis on music- there were nice pianos in about every other room, and group music singing happened all the time. I ended up chopping and changing what I wanted to do, - bees, music, art- because there were so many things I wanted to do, and not enough time to do them all. I met the spiritual founder of the place by the spring, and had a brief chat with him. He gave the group a talk about why he had set up the place, and what his original vision had been ; about his vision to bring people together in harmony. ------ I'm now traveling in a car with james and joe, and we are driving to the beach. The road is getting narrower and narrower. Eventually we get stuck between these two cliff faces, because a big boulder has fallen into the road and is blocking the way. We think about moving it, but instead we get out and walk. We walk along the cliff tops and get to a place where we can see the beach and the sea. There is a lot of pollution and rubbish going into the sea via a little steam that runs down the beach. There is a logging company that has been removing the pine forests behind the beach, and it is causing a lot of environmental damage to the beach and surrounding environment. Despite our wishes to go down to the beach we decided it would be best to stay up here on the cliff. It was sad to see all this destruction of a natural habitat going on.
