If there is a time of year to attempt discovery of a difficult or hidden pathway – it is now – when the winter branches are at their barest, and the spring is still too new too have powered up the thick growth of bracken and brambles that render unkept pathways invisible. #pathways #rct #pontypridd

Russet leaf mulch warms the roots of brilliant snowdrops as the first daffodils dance bravely in chill winds. #spring #march #poetry #nature beautiful writing on the moment of changing seasons from Bewilderbrain.

"Arriving gently and secretly, through winter’s benign retirement, the simplicity of spring’s beauty is startling." A beautiful short read on the cusp of spring #poetry #photography #spring #winter

Winter light and winter warmth, a beautiful post to inspire you to get out in winter "Bare branches gnarl and curl into complex, architectural forms, stripped of embellishment, exposing intricate detail and artistry in the heart of nature." #scape #photography #dopamine #winter #naturephotography

"But for the lone pathway winding across the land, it feels bereft of human concern. Road noise has disappeared up here and from the middle of the fields there are no buildings of any kind in sight." #walking #birds #mentalhealth #nature #photography #publicrightofway

"On a smart phone, every notification that pops up on our screens, every new browser window, every distracting advert that leads us to a new shop, every new like, follow, or interaction on social media, is a mini-dopamine burst." #ADHD #ASD #AUDHD #Technology #blackmirror #dopamine #neurodiversity

The beauty and joy of a short walk from home from bewilderbrain "The only sound here is the water, and the dense, joyful ever-changing melodies of the birds. A complete stillness which is utterly suffused with life." #walking #nature #birds #winterwatch #pontypridd #winter #positivity

Dry Stone Walls "I love the way they ramble, reassuringly ancient, over the bare winter mountain, accentuating its stark seasonal architecture. They are innocuous but immovable, like tenacious bones of history – holding the landscape together." #drystonewall #walking #landscape #nature #birds #ponty

The layers between us – Phones, connection, choice, and curated lives… Our engagements are no longer being led by our base feelings, instincts, or preferences, and even they themselves are being perpetually modified by what is fed to us. Re-curated each day by the endlessly morphing algorithms of our life feeds. The continued availability of communication, distraction, entertainment, also means there are no mental spaces left to fill. For our minds to wander, for organic thoughts to enter our brains, flourish, or bloom...

Phones. People. Our own choices and connections. The interwoven layers between us…

“Our phones risk becoming not just carriages upon which we mentally ride, but the actual curators of our existence...”

"The mist hovers in the distance, trailing a path through the valley that separates Mynydd Gelliwion from the Graig mountain – the wending pathway of the river Gelliwion in its depths."
Beautifully mystical prose from bewilderbrain
