This is when I saw her during her visit to Bracknell to unveil a plaque to commemorate a newly developed Lexicon shopping centre. Her hard work and dedication will never be forgotten.

The global pandemic has spawned its own unique lexicon. The language of medical professionals and epidemiologists has become mainstream. Before the first part of this year, I had never used phrases such as N95 respirator, flattening the curve, contact tracing, drive-through testing, self quarantine or shelter in place. A coined phrase that's starting to grate on me is 'social distancing'. It's more accurately describing physical distancing. Now more than ever, people need to be more social if anything. Chat, email, Skype it up ll day long. Just keep your distance. I saw two neighbors chatting the other day, each on a lawn chair, but the chairs spaced ten feet apart. Truly a scene that would have struck me as odd just a couple of months ago but now seems perfectly reasonable. In fact odd now would be seeing the chairs alongside one another. Even more striking was looking out later after the neighbors had departed and seeing the two chairs, just as they had left them, with the huge gap in between. The scene was somehow more compelling without people than with. Our society is social by nature, really almost by definition. Human beings (most of us anyway) thrive on interaction. I worry about the longterm effects of people being cutoff from these interactions. Also the downside of being cooped up in their homes without much of a break from the same daily interactions, some of which may not be good to start with, or sour under the pressure of constant repetition. Unfortunately I see no way out of this facet of the pandemic. I believe that the distancing requirements will be one of the last restrictions to be lifted, long after other facets of life resume.
The lexicon library in Dunlaoghaire reflected in the ponds in the square beside it. The building of this library caused controversy at the time as some people felt it was a monstrosity. I love it and love how it resembles a ship with its funnels.
DLR Lexicon, branded as dlr LexIcon, is a building in Dún Laoghaire, Ireland, housing the main public library and cultural centre of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council.

“In the lexicon of youth, which fate reserves For a bright manhood, there is no such word As - fail.”
(Sam Keen - American Philosopher and Writer)
Those young men formed a human pyramid in the holy waters of the Ganges in Varanasi (benaras).
It was at Panchaganga ghat which is one of the water-front sacred sites of the Eternel city.
As the name indicates this place is supposed to be the confluence of five rivers such as the Ganges, the Yamuna, the Saraswati, the Kirana and the Dhupapapa.
During summers (May-June) people come there early in the morning in order to find a kind of freshness.

Viewing almost any object such as the one pictured, or an actual “crystal ball”, can cause a flow of “free associations”.
In “Jung Lexicon” by Daryl Sharp, associations are defined as:
“A spontaneous flow of interconnected thoughts and images around a specific idea, often determined by unconscious connections”.
“Specific ideas” include psychological complexes, that is, “repressed emotional themes that can cause constant psychological disturbances or even, in many cases, the symptoms of a neurosis” (Man and His Symbols, edited by C. G. Jung and Marie Louise von Franz, Part 1).
While Freud persisted in using only the free assocations of a client to help analyze dreams, Jung realized that this usually led to a “monotony of interpretation”. That’s because the same old complexes were seen that had already been uncovered by various other methods, but no real forward movement could be made in resolving a given issue.
Jung realized that dreams had a purposeful structure, indicating an underlying idea or intention.
While associations to the images and events in a dream are an important first step in interpreting it, Jung found that only the material that is clearly and visibly part of a dream should be used in interpreting it as the process continues.
Otherwise, the dreamer will tend to make every possible attempt to break away from the dream picture itself, preferring to allow “free associations” to take over in order to avoid facing the possibly unpleasant message that the dream is trying to deliver.
Si on regarde presque aucun objet, on peut provoquer un écoulement des « associations libres ».
Dans « Jung Lexicon » par Daryl Sharp, les associations sont définies comme :
« Un flux spontané de pensées interconnectées et d’images autour d’une idée spécifique, souvent déterminé par connexions inconscientes ».
« Des idées précises » incluent des complexes psychologiques, c'est-à-dire, « des thèmes émotionnels réprimés qui peuvent causer des troubles psychologiques constantes ou même, dans bien des cas, les symptômes d’une névrose » (l’Homme et ses Symboles, sous la direction de C. G. Jung et de Marie Louise von Franz, partie 1).
Alors que Freud a persisté en utilisant seulement les assocations libres d’un client pour aider à analyser des rêves, Jung s’est rendu compte que cela conduit généralement à une « monotonie d’interprétation ». C’est parce que les mêmes complexes ont été vus qui avait déjà été découverts par diverses autres méthodes, mais aucun progrès réel ne pourraitt être réalisé concernant la résolution d’un problème donné.
Jung s’est rendu compte que les rêves avaient une structure qui indiquait un but précis, comme par exemple une idée sous-jacente ou une intention spécifique.
Tandis que les associations pour les images et événements dans un rêve sont une première étape importante dans l’interprétation, Jung a conclu que le matériel qui est clairement et visiblement une partie d’un rêve est le plus significatif.
Dans le cas contraire, le rêveur tendra de s’échapper de l’image du rêve lui-même, préférant laisser des « associations libres » lui aider d’éviter un message peut-être désagréable que le rêve tente de livrer.

Something a little bit different... no sea, no sunrise, no long exposure :-)
This is a lovely little book, by Carter Wong Design and Jeff Conner, printed on GFSMith papers - the production values are beautiful. I've photographed it in natural light, against a white background using a glasstop to catch the reflection.
