SS - no, despite my name and pic I ain't now or have ever been in anyone's army. Interesting thought, though - I'm wondering if someone acknowledging the raw emotions described in your article would be at home in an army, being able to bring to the surface and live out the anger (pity the 'enemy'!) or would an emotionally-detached automoton fulfil that 'role' better. I leave the question dangling in the air.

Meiraj thank u for he comment. Spain is the most fascinating of places. Beautiful and brutal at the same time, it seems so alive.

Sahir, of the Barcelona nights!! So GOOD to see your work on this corner of the page. And where have you been?

gently, breezy starry nights.......one day I will go to Barcelona....the devil too, seems to not be able to erode that city. Its got something of a permanence, has it not?

So bleak, so savage - and yet quite understandable. It's got me shivering. I'm sure this reflects how many more of us would feel had we not the survival instinct of 'switching off' - though, of course, that's near impossible when one or one's near ones have been subject directly to acts of violence by man or Nature.
