‘Radiating’
… ever outwards from a core…
As I was penning the words to the previous post ‘Radiate Away’ ,this was the song in my head. Grant Hart was the co-leader of eighties indie rock legends Husker Du and died last year aged 56.

The song, one of his last, and described variously as”symphonic” and “elegaic” , lyrically probes the limits of existence .It finishes on the repeated words “radiate, radiate away…radiate ,radiate away”, before a satellite signal bleep repeats and seems to fade into space…haunting….

Everything,and everybody,has a centre or core from which it or their essence radiates away from.The spider’s web.The yucca tree.You.Me.
Lose that centre and you have no outward effect or influence.Compromise your essence and your impact is diluted.
Nurture and look after what is good at your core!
