I’m alive now, painting, promenading, playing tennis. I’m alive now. I can feel my heart beating, when I sit quietly and sketch. I’m alive now; this is a timeless now, endless summer days and rainy afternoons, the ferns bending under the weight of the water.

This is now. Modern. Today. The past is dried up and dead and we are young and we will never be hidebound and proper like they were back then.

The rain is falling outside the conservatory window, lending a freshness to the breeze, and I lean out to hear the drops and I am alive.
