It’s always slightly alarming when someone says something to me that betrays the fact they’ve read something on HearFeel, but I find it […]

I’m not sure it can be called wanderlust exactly, at least not all the time, sometimes it’s just a desire to escape. A trajectory away from the normalcy and rhythm of regular life for a moment, a period in […]

Autumn is definitely here, and is hurtling relentlessly to the crashing end of the calendar. In these abrupt melancholia-inducing conditions […]

Even after years of living here you have to be a mildly attentive walker, divided and sub-divided such […]

Jesus Fucking Christ There’s a temptation to look back at our hominid ancestors and think of them as primitive savages, that our forebears struggled through their lives dragging their knuckles on the ground, grunting at one another and wearing a few strips of fur and leather. Of course, we are far more […]

It’s what God (Ben) intended, I feel. And to answer the question pre-emptively: yes, I currently am. I did cover […]

First I thought it was the excitement of travel, then it was the random sprinkling of hot and muggy days: now I realise it’s because of, well, you know… I close my eyes and my mind wanders, unbidden, unfocused, wanting.

Summer has historically been a slower period for HearFeel, and as the years go by my time seems to become thinner and less available for both writing and listening and it only compounds the infrequency of my posts. And although I’m cognisant of these shifts and flows within […]
