The State of us big magic this Monday to Friday night at 1045 on b.b.c. Radio 4 that is we'll say on familiar places new experiences and fresh adventures on the cards now as Mark tally presents this week's edition of something understood. One reason we seek the unfamiliar the title of our program is to get relief from monotony. But both the kids find life so monotonous or so dreary even the unfamiliar provides relief. One gets into what. If they don't get it turns to change the scene. I could not believe that life could not be true. If I lived inside. To murder rather amusing. My way through. He bought me the Black Sea for my eyes maiming. The nerds an. Hour or so many days salt air I sniffed I was shipwrecked and a cast adrift with a man who were not like Montgomery Clift. Monotonous . Goddard's words throughout the years and known as. Down but when they go on comes up I like. Good sound as mud. Just made a new style of all me I even mean Johnny raised miles from me a camel once walked. Me. Monotonous. I could not believe. Life could not be to. Live I lived in. As been known to stab me her eyes is even arise and her me carry us from one place. To mine and. C C C C C C C C C C other for whom the unfamiliar has become deja vu of course there are many other reasons apart from the relief from monotony that we seek the unfamiliar but nowadays there's a common complaint that so much has become familiar it's difficult to find the unfamiliar and even harder to find exotica in his book infelicities representation is all the exotic the anthropologist and art historian peter mason says today with the presence of immigrants from virtually all over the world in europe and the opening up of the 3rd world to western torres some and the global dissemination of a metropolitan technology the exotic has acquired a deja vu quality as eartha kitt found however the 14th century sufi poet known as huffy is is not the only person in this something understood who says we are programmed to search for the unfamiliar and therefore we must go on looking for it the mind is ever a tourist wanting to touch him by a new things then toss them into an already filled closet so i craft my words into those guides that will offer you something fresh from the hidden state have been few things a stronger than the mines need for a diverse experience i'm glad not many men or women can remain faithful love as to the unreal. It was a kind of adultery that God encourages ill spirit needs to leave the bed of fear the gross the subtle the mental worlds become as a worthless husband women need to utilize to superior intelligence about. So that their powers legacy can make us all stronger and more clement. Sometimes a poem happens like this on. The meal I sit on while I recite tonsil from one direction. But then gets. Lost in the end. The strange ending of her thesis poem is I think the poet letting his pain rip and take him off into an entirely different and unfamiliar terrain. In the 16th and 17th centuries trade with the East 1st created a European interest in Asian art this interesting creased with the spread of colonialism and eventually flowered in the late 19th century with the exoticism movement which includes 2 European painting decorative art and music. Music was composed to evoke the atmosphere of distant unfamiliar lands imagined to be exalted toward the blue sea it was influenced by the exotic trip. His composition for solo flute called sitting recalls exotic times rather than exotic places ancient times when mythological god some other mythological beings flourished. 6 2 2 2 he said fear holds us back from fulfilling our need for diverse experiences and fear is surely a factor in the racism which rejects the otherness the unfamiliarity of different races but in Shakespeare's tragedy in the otherness of Othello which 1st tracks as the mone up the father left me. Invited me still questioned me the story of my life from year to year the battle scenes his fortunes that I have cost. I ran it through even from my boyish days to the very moment that he badly tended her and I spake of most disastrous chances of moving accidents by flood and field of hair breath's Cape Cod imminent deadly breach of being taken by the nets and phone and sold to slavery of my redemption bents importance in my travels history wherein of untraceable and desert sidle rough quarries wrongs and Hills whose heads touch heaven it was my hint to speak such was the Princess and of the cannibals that each other eat the anthroposophy guy and men whose heads do grow been if their shoulders based here Desdemona us seriously inclined but still the house affairs would draw have ends which ever as she good with haste dispatch she come again and with a greedy ear devour my discourse which I observing took once I and hour and found good means to draw from our prayer of and this tart that I would all my pilgrimage dilate were of by parcel she had something heard but not intend to flee I did consent and often did beguile there of tears when I did speak of some distress for stroke that my youth suffered my story being done she gave me for my pains a world of size she swore in favor to a strange house passing strange twas pitiful wondrous pedophile she wished she had not had it she wished but Heaven that had made her such a man. We here of the Faroe Islands when we listen to the shipping forecast on the radio but few of us visit them there remain for most of us a name which can conjure up images of the exotic when the composer Gavin Bryars was a schoolboy hearing the word pharaohs had a mysterious magical quality the islands represented somewhere in an imaginary north he 1st visited the islands in 2004 to work with the fairies Rooney Bratton back for the composer discovering these islands which run till then unfamiliar exotic places he only imagined led to them becoming a very special place one of the most beautiful in the world cabin bribers has composed the setting of a fair always poem called in translation the company of the blind. The poem suggests that we tend to go through life blind but if we did early on our journey don't give up we'll find someone some exotica which opens our eyes and as the poet says gives life and will. I. Feel a little. A little. So why should we go on that journey in such of the unfamiliar why not be content to stay at home surrounded by the comforting Familia and comforting familiar surroundings familiar friends and familiar places certainly. Well the American Christian philosopher who died a few years ago Dale Andrews suggested we needed the unfamiliar to keep us going on the journey to discover selves every so often it pays to get a 1000 miles away that you will find the familiar and the unfamiliar the familiar will keep you feeling secure. Am familiar will give you an opportunity to see life from a new perspective you cannot stand on the edge of the Grand Canyon and come away the same person humanity has always loved it smashed into peaks shorelines cliffs great trees and starry nights some of those things and thereby But there's something about a 1000 miles between away you are what you call home that does wonders for your perspective I like sleeping in my car in the middle of nowhere making up I'm wondering where you are is a real trip it makes you appreciate your orientation abilities but before they could gain his sense of wonder that makes such a strange trip worthwhile we are over convinced of who we think we are each day in the familia is the reinforcement of self delusion our emotional wooden props become granite with social we know ourselves and all the while we may be drifting away from our real selves. No wonder the keynote of Christianity is to be cold away finding your ultimate purpose is seldom discovered in the predictable world created by your ego. But we didn't need to go to the fair Islands or the Grand Canyon to come across the unfamiliar wherever we are every day we wake up we face the unfamiliar no matter how programmed all life is we don't know what will happen that day each dawn is a blank page we still have to write on the poet Rita Darva imagines the whole of the dawn sky is her blank page and she calls her poem Dawn revisited. Imagine you wake up. With a 2nd chance the Blue Jay Hawks is pretty Wes and the still stands spreading glorious shade if you don't know. The future never happens. How good to rising sun light in the prodigal smell of biscuits and sausage on the grill the whole sky is furious to write or blown open to a blank page come on shake a leg.

Is very important and if you think of it mindfulness is living with Familia because it involves being aware of the difference of every moment and every moment is indeed different. Johnny Cash calls one of his songs I've been everywhere in his introduction to the song he says he's still climbing into the cab of a lorry attempting to find one mole unfamiliar place so for all his traveling he still gripped by the edge which has had fees puts it makes the mind ever a tourist. I was told my pack go along the dusty one I'm up the road. When along came a semi with my hand was covered Lol if you call no one to love. You can Johnny Cash about to set off on another journey into the unknown. Which gripped Johnny Cash cause John Mace fields to write his famous poem see fever in another of his poems call goes misfiled indicates that the ordinary as well as the exotic can arise the color of the sea for cold to keep sailing in such of the unfamiliar in this foot in the raw exotic ships and exotic conquerors and that's a very ordinary familiar ship the dirty British coast Queen choir eem of Nineveh from distant of.

But the phrase that a struck me most in this something understood on unfamiliarity is the phrase from Dale Andrews things I say to myself each day the familiar is the reinforcement of self delusion. The self delusion is the illusion that the familiar is all we need to experience and all we need to know it was only when I went to India and came across unfamiliar religions that I became aware Christianity is not the only way to God friends list gave his 3 suites for piano the title years of pilgrimage because it is the title of a famous novel of self realisation by gutter. The music list said portrayed a few of his strongest sensations and most lively impressions while he was traveling in many new countries so the music is his fond by lists experience of the I'm familiar. The nocturne and the bells of Geneva is one pot of the Swiss wheat of yez a pilgrimage. The caption list chose to give it is I live not in myself but become portion of that around me a quotation from Baden's Chiles Herald which conveys the impression that list has become a home in the unfamiliar.

That if you're looking for food I have to disappoint you. And this mushroom belongs to the genus that Caprino suggests the shagging mushroom which you might have heard out yeah yeah so this is it's cousin and this is Martin edible Ok And you can see it's already turning to ink Yeah yeah we're in the woods Yeah with you long. Because we are so delighted that you've come to the u.k. .

The mushrooms come that's what brings them what I love that was the fact that they always here on the ground don't like you actually very rarely see mushrooms because they're all about the roots on the mycelium Yeah yeah you going to pick lettuce I don't know it's called mycelium and it's underneath us so this place you could say was mushrooms but we cannot see them and.
