The time of our lives

I'm thinking, yes, I know, difficult to believe.....

I've recently got back home from Glastonbury Festival. Oddly it's one of the most surreal experiences ever, it never feels like you're there, yet feels like you've been there a whole lifetime. It feels like a completely different world, and yet is in the same world as our own. It's simply amazing, bizarre, utterly fantastic and crazy in one place.

For a few days reality dissapeares, and rather than worry about the stresses that follow many people around like a huge great big black cloud, or trap them in that vast abyss of nothingness, people escape and come together in harmony for one momentus occassion. It is simply magical!!

Oddly, returning to one's home town, actually feels wrong, unlike most other times one has been away, where home seems to call out, on this occasion returning is a sad one. Everything feels different, it doesn't have the comforts of home, but more the uncomfortablness of mundanity, and a lacking of excitement.

Having said that, there is something to think about while sat at home, wathcing telly, and that is that yes, there really is something away from what we know as norm. There really is something else in this world, even if it is only a few days of the year, we'll remember it as a sort of magical healing. An enlightening experience, that happens just at the right time.
