But did you go down, or up?

Hot diggety dog! You love Murakami! Me too…point of information-I am a slow and infrequent reader. A book really has to GRAB me by the roots of my hair and YANK me in to its pages. So few books I have come across do this for me. Murakami does. The days that I spent reading “Wind up Bird” I still remember as the most ravishing and intoxicating days.…..I could do nothing but immerse myself in that deep, hypnotic, smooth pool…mmm, I have no well, but I do have a shed. There is a small spider and a dancing washing machine in there. Perhaps through the porthole of the washing machine there is a vortex via which I can.…

Hello, a kiterises, and welcome (again). Hmm, Haruki Murakami? Funny you should mention it, but as anyone who knows me will readily tell you, I am a bit of fan, to put it mildly. Incidentally, you might also like to read this from way back in the archives.

By the way, I was a ‘littlemoongate’ but have disappeared into the cyber-ether and when I emerged, I found I had metamorphosed into a rising kite. Thanks for your msg to me earlier. Yes, a a sparkling disco ball! (and all the girls handbags are in the middle and all the boys are airguitaring to Down Down Deeper and Down…oops think I’m flying my kite to close to the truth there…

You have a wonderful writing style: effortless and flows so beautifully. Have you ever read anything by Haruki Murakami? I think you would like his books. This passage reminds me of the atmosphere he creates in “The Wind Up Bird Chronicles”. Keep writing, you are very talented!

Edvard — They only come out at night, apparently. Ahem.

Nimbus — Welcome. Your journey from the big city to the a quieter, simpler life is often a very appealing one to me.

Callisto — I have never had comment passed in public, either favourable or unfavourable, on my nocturnal emissions. So thank you, I think.

That’s quite enough innuendo.

I’m with Edvard, I enjoy your nocturnal emissions, er, journeys, also.

Thank you for your kind words.

I know this post…know it because I left a similar world to this in the big rat race of a city for a quieter, simpler life…

You use words well.

I have to confess I’m a big fan of these nocturnal journeys of yours, mr unreliable… more please!

Miss Vertigo — It’s what it means to you, yes. Thank you for ‘getting it’.

Bohémienne — If only it was just the one set of directions. How simple that would be.

Little Moon Gate — Welcome, and I do hope you keep blogging. This site is like a sparkling little globe, true. I am imagining a reflective disco ball.

Melograna — It’s a long time since I have heard the phrase ‘gird my loins’.

Ani — Lyons Maid? Walls? M&S?

Vesper — Thanks for your link, and for your comment.

Miles Away — Sometimes. Yes. Sometimes it’s important not to just disappear. But sometimes it isn’t.

Angelalala — Yes, I agree with that too. Although I suppose that in the same way as that question asks whether a tree makes a sound if it topples over in a forest without anyone to hear it, it might be wondered whether everyone hasn’t in fact disappeared if you choose to do so.

NAGA — Not quite invisible. I can see you.

I’m invisible. Which is virtually the same as disappearing.

I don’t want to disappear. I want everyone else to.

I love that. I used to long to be able to step outside my life sometimes — even if only for 5 minutes, in order to gird my loins for the next onslaught.

Your blog is the first genuinely interesting, compulsive blog I have come across. Still working on my blog. Was starting to feel like I would quit, as all blogs I have come across seem to be such perfect little sparkling globes of goddamn excellence (yours is a sparkling little globe of excellence too! Just not a self-regarding globe of excellence!).. This post is inspiring. Maybe I won’t give up the ghost yet then.…

Disappearing is a great trick. If you could give specific directions to that door, people would beat a path to it. Which might then defeat the purpose, of course. Nevertheless, congratulations if you have found the secret to that temporary escape.

This encapsulates so many situations, could be interpreted in a hundred different ways, or might mean a million and one things, but I know what it means to me. And within that thought lies the essence of excellent writing.

Beautiful.
