About ten years ago I found two second-hand books. The first a fascinating book called ‘The Death of Forever’ written by microbiologist Darryl Reanney. In this book he argues that the true human consciousness (when free of the constraints of our ego) can see the timelessness of the universe. He calls this feeling ‘Deep Knowing’. The past, the present and the future all exist side by side.

The second book, found on the same day, was of black and white transport photographs taken in the 1970’s. The main subjects of the photographs were of no great importance, but I found the happenings around the edges intriguing. Here was rich supply of split second slices of the everyday – captured without any self-awareness.

Is this where you might suddenly find Deep Knowing I wonder? In the small corners, which often appear bleak and vacuous, yet at the same time mysterious, enigmatic and fleeting.
