Tonight I had intended to write something deadly serious. About a subject that everyone would rather avoid, turn a blind eye to, a subject nobody wants to talk about. And that is abuse against women. I’m not talking about purely physical abuse, but more about other forms of abuse that constitute domestic violence .. including psychological and emotional abuse. And not just among the realms of domestic relationships either. About controlling behaviours.
But. Tonight my very being was unhoused by music more poignant, a voice more beautiful, than Nick Drake’s. And I do not want what I am feeling to be polluted with thoughts about abuse, control and violence as it is at direct odds with the state I am in at the moment. For this exact moment in time, I have fallen in love with the music and my heart belongs to the voice, that voice… My heart is beating faster and I am a little breathless and starry eyed. My soul is so deeply touched in a way it rarely ever is.And that is saying a lot… So … no … not tonight 🙂
