I like Nature. I really think on the whole that nature has got it pretty right. I think music is one of the deepest ways to connect (i think the same about poetry, incidentally) and is infinitely rich. I think the lessons we learn from music teach us about life, and visa versa. I love playing – being silly, making worlds, having conversations, dancing, joking – in whatever form; it feels nourishing. I think nonsense is under-rated and recommend you – whoever has made it this far down this rambling epistle – takes a moment to (a) give yourself a hug (b) express any hatred you may feel for bracketed letters (c) set a timer for a minute and a half and (d) be weird in whatever way tickles you for that time.
