<p>Sitting on a bench at Milton Locks — This is one of my 'thin places.' <br />
<br />
Thirty-four years ago I sat here trying to imprint this place in my mind so that I could carry it around with me, and use it as my calm centre in the years to come. That was on my wedding day. Ten years ago I came and sat here to re-charge my memory of the place so I could use it to see me through the difficult days to come when I set in motion the end of that marriage. <br />
<br />
Today I revisited it in part to re-charge my memory and in part to exorcise it. Today I wasn't lonely, scared, troubled, or facing major life-changes. I wasn't looking for a memory to embed and imprint to provide that 'calm centre' I needed. Today I came to enjoy and share the view with my best friend, love, and soul mate, and let it become a calm center in the closing moments of our vacation in the UK. Ginger happily agreed to become a part of my re-creation and exorcism of those previous visits.<br />
