I embrace my sweet long lost muse

[For those who don't know I (peter) have been deeply depressed for a year now, recently suicidal. Last Wednesday (18 August 2004) I woke up feeling GOOD. Why or what or how is anyone's idea.]

The world has stayed good so far (22/Aug). I realised yesterday that my great unexplained mind-offloading (my surfacing from beneath turbulent waters) was 18th August - my wedding anniversay & Symone's birthday (I'm divorced from Symone).

I had a dream last night with some dark haired English-looking woman from maybe 1920's. Around 30 years old. She floated about (to cut a long story) and wasn't too nice. Deliberately spooking me as a ghost in a floating white armchair. One of the few dreams I remember being in black and white.

By some means (in the 1930's now) I amassed a theatre-full of people at night, played music into their heads by a thought of my own mind-invention - all music at once... (I remember it was my rework of "Einstein's 8" [what?] in the manner of the darkest Beethoven). Everyone gasped and swooned at its unusual splendour.

[I'd been reading about Nikola Tesla (forget Farraday) before I fell asleep.]

It was all of 30 seconds long, then in the air her image appeared, static, a head and shoulder portrait snapshot, for all to see, impossibly in mid air, a 6 foot tall photograph, glowing. And I remembered she'd drifted away through a wall some hours earlier, no one but me to see, just me and her there in my softly furnished 1930's artist's basement. She'd left with the gentle words, "goodbye peter," spoken into my heart. All that was left of her, my mind music summoning her, was this snapshot of a stranger above the befuddled audience.

Now I see her. I'm disappointed.

I wake up.

did I expect an angel?

was she my previous muse?

I wonder if I was infected all this time? We shall see. I'm doing great stuff for a Daniel Iorio track at the mo... I feel free - ignoring complications. Simple is best. I don't feel the world pressing on me.

I feel like my anonymous muse is quietly back with me. She's not strong but she IS my creativity (and most likely my creation). And I welcome her back with all the love in my soul.

(Now I sound mental the OTHER way haha.)

this will be removed soon or put somewhere else. To sum up, I don't know what the fuck's happened.

(for the few of you that have it, listen to the ink1 track "switch". It may not have been me, just my muse, or did it happen to me? An understanding of life never gets any easier, eh?

NIN have various "downward spiral" releases. The plain album is by far the best. The album before the most recent; "The Fragile".

Loz - stop freaking me out. Steve's already done that on the phone - didn't even get to ask him about what I was calling about.

Here we go... downhill...the spiral...

Well it was nice for a couple of days. That really hurt me from steve. Fuckin c**t. haha had ya going there eh? Yes steve annoyed me but so what? He's more family than my family. I think I annoyed him first by a total mistake. Can I explain? Nope. Like sodding Eastenders, innit?

Rod I used to love Dr Feelgood. I saw them play in Southend. I was 16 I got drunk. I think Wilco had just left.

"Milk and alcohol" eh?

well... better written now seeing as I corrected a lot of it. I'm expecting to find myself back underwater at any time though.

I dunna wanna, but it seems the way.

I am not navel gazing.

Thanks for the hugs, Lynn. Hugs mean an awful lot to me.
