Episode 114: Dan Burgess | Rambling in the Ghostwoods

We are kicking the podcast off this year with a warm spring offering from Dan and a few Willow trees up at Ghostwood Down. ‘Ghostwood Down?’ You may be wondering - where is that… what is that? Well, we welcome you friend Up into the hills surrounding Bath. There rests a magical Ghostwood - a land which was once the place of a great forest A land riddled with scars, gold dust, earnest joy and deep sorrow. On this land we are slowly nurturing a return to woodland, while honouring the place as it is now. The ghost of a wood. Hence Ghostwood. And as it is downland , well… you guessed it... Ghostwood Down. Anyway enough of my attempts to ramble lets get into the real ramble. Today’s episode is a little unusual. Unusual you may ask? Thank god I hear you say - ‘that’s why I am bloody subscribed to this podcast. Because the world… Well, the world is a little more than unusual, it’s quite frankly insane. Insanity is kind of why Dan has chosen to make this episode. The rigidness and immediacy that feels expected of us to make sense of the world around us and in us is so ludicrous that often we feel like we don’t have the words to express them. And that’s where Rambling comes in. Rambling almost has a negative connection… To ramble is to be indecisive. To ramble is to not know what you’re talking about. To ramble is not know. But, what if that’s what we need in these times? To not know? So, if you’ve read this far, go give Dan a listen - you may be surprised by how infectious the ramble can be.
