The word - Le mot

Thoughts in Darrick Wood by Trevor Morgan 30 March 2020 (traduction française ci-dessous)

I am nearly always pensive when I go to Darrick Wood. I nearly always think in words. I hardly ever see a picture in my head. I also can hear music in my head especially after hearing a song thrush or a blackbird.

I find it difficult to see anything in my imagination except for Bernadette and my close family. Sometimes, I can see important places such as Newgale beach in Pembrokeshire where I let my some of my father’s ashes fly into to the South Westerly wind.
Sometimes, I turn off my thoughts in Darrick Wood, so there are no words, just my breathe , the sound of the birds and the wind, and then the view of somewhere else.




Pensées dans Darrick Wood par Trevor Morgan 30 mars 2020

Je suis presque toujours pensif quand je vais à Darrick Wood. Je pense presque toujours en mots. Je ne vois presque jamais une image dans ma tête. Je peux aussi entendre de la musique dans ma tête surtout après avoir entendu une grive musicienne ou un merle.

J’ai du mal à imaginer autre chose que Bernadette et ma famille. Parfois, je peux voir des endroits importants comme la plage de Newgale en Pembrokeshire où je laisse les cendres de mon père voler dans le vent du sud-ouest.

Parfois, j’éteins mes pensées à Darrick Wood pour qu’il n’y ait pas de mots, juste mon souffle, le bruit des oiseaux et le vent, et puis la vue d’ailleurs.

I'm taking a break - Je vais me reposer un moment

Thoughts in Darrick Wood by Trevor Morgan 24 June 2020 (traduction française ci-dessous) I am now finding that writing a daily blog is becoming more of a chore than a pleasure and that it is becoming harder to think of new ideas. I shall therefore be taking a rest for a while.

The Voyager Golden Record - Le disque d'Or de Voyager

Thoughts in Darrick Wood by Trevor Morgan 18 June 2020 (traduction française ci-dessous) Will alien civilisations find us? It is possible that aliens will receive radio and television signals, which have been broadcast within the last century, or so. The aliens would have to be relatively close, nearer than 200 light years. They would have to send a message back and that would take 100 years assuming that the aliens had the ability and desire to talk to us. All this sounds very unlikely. The is another possibility: the 2 Voyager spacecraft launched to observe the outer planets of the solar system, in 1977, are now in interstellar space. Both spacecraft contain “time capsules” with messages and audio-visual images of the way of life on earth. The “time capsules” were in fact phonographic records engraved onto gold plated copper discs which could last for billions of years. Both spacecraft are now in interstellar space, but they are not even 1 light day from the earth. In abou...

Spontaneity

Thoughts in Darrick Wood by Trevor Morgan 23 June 2020 (traduction française ci-dessous) For me, a social life needs some spontaneity. I like to walk in Darrick Wood whenever I feel like it. Sometimes, my wife and I decide to walk through the woods but then continue to the village of Downe. In Downe, we often used to stop in the “Queen’s Head” pub and drink a pint of the best kept beer in London and have lunch. This was great, but these days it seems so far away. On 4th of July the government is proposing that pubs should be allowed to re-open under social distancing rules. It looks like we will be asked to book our slot in the pub in advance. This means strolling to a timetable; none of the spontaneity, of going for a long walk in the country and stopping off for a drink, will remain. I am in two minds about this. Yes, the economy needs to be protected as should pub life, but does this mean that I must book in for a pint? Booking in is ok to go to a restaurant for a formal meal b...
