Bedtime Story Conservatory 86 27/06/2020
Good morning everyone,
I sent an image yesterday to you of a seagull sat on a light outside my bedroom window. It sits there every day, looking down at the restaurant below to hunt it's next inanimate morsel of half eaten sushi, and as the days go by, it seems to look at me more and more. I don't know if I am imagining this, as I may be looking at it more and more. Glances are exchanged between us as we sit at our posts, our lives entirely different from one-another, but somehow connected in our mutual understanding of the need to search, to hunt and move forwards to yet the next thing, and the next thing, and the next thing.
Also, hilariously, the seagull was bright white yesterday, and today it was covered in what looked like grape juice. It could be a different seagull, but that doesn't feel like it matters.

Seagulls are one of the few animals that are able to drink both fresh water and salt water, and they have a gland just above their eyes which filters the salt from their system.

Today's reading is the first several chapters from Carl G. Jung's Man and His Symbols 1964. Jung was the founder of analytical psychology, a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. This somehow activated some stuff in my brain today, I recommend listening to this if you want to oil the cogs, it's very interesting whilst being very accessible.
The song attached to the beginning and end of the reading is Blue Velvet 1963 by Bobby Vinton.

Warmest wishes today, along with the warmest weather, love you lots and lots,
