Issue Four

It seems that nothing is cemented to stable ground these days, well not like it used to be anyway. Or are we just imagining it? Politics, the war, the economy. A stockbroker client of ours once said that there’s always something spooky around the corner. Everything is always in flux. Perhaps it’s human nature to create drama? Some shift that aims to break the deadlock of the present, to perform a restructuring towards a better future. Of course this is not always the case, and in the timeless words of Alan Watts, there is no future - no I - just the universe and the present. A complexity of reality that cannot be fathomed. Of course we are sometimes looking backwards, and always forwards, predicting, trying to arrange our path. Much time can be wasted in this hypothetical model building.

And so it is with the property market. We can predict the flow to some degree, but let us not waste the now on the details, enjoy the moment, the reality and your space. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
