HALCYON FEATURES

On Education

There appears to be a growing consensus that mainstream education practices may not be fit for purpose to meet future global challenges, and that a wide range of alternatives should be explored.

A noteworthy recent such example is Ken Robinson's latest TED talk, on how to escape education's "death valley".

On Beltane

blog image

"See Pan the Piper dancing in the greenwood dawn...Earth, Water, Fire, Air, dancing round the Maypole...at Beltane", light a Beltane fire, high on the skyline" - from Ancient Dream, Aeolian Songspell

..faces bathed in dew and Druids in white before dawn at Beltane on Arthur's Seat; Jack-in-the-Green, the Queen of the May and gaily coloured ribbons; Summerisle and its sinister incantations..."groweth sed and bloweth med" and of course, "the apple tree that grew for you and me".

So many memories, some mine, others from the shared, ancient gallery of the unconscious...once again, "come First of May".
