Interesting headsup, Paul. You say: "dedicated psychogeographer, the splace invader, the flaneur, dedicated to walking without purpose" (nice sentence snippet). It may seem so, but is there really a void of intent? For my own part there's always a liminally intuited agenda, no matter how random the journey's navigational non-aim. Yes, you guessed it. Haikai voyeurism (ginko), directing exercise in fresh air...and this by any other name.

It all boils down to pre-agrarian hunter-gather biology (psychosomatics). This thing about the outdoors as home. Every space that we pause into becomes a habitat gestalt. The wise choose carefully by not choosing at all. I suppose that is one of the Taoisms - or the other.

Churches and temples of hope were builded from magic - or shrines (in a downsize). And the truth to tell, each time we looked over the edges of our bell tower parapets and weathercock pinnacles to gaze at what-is-further (for the hell of it); the size and complexity tore us more or less asunder or it was shreds and smithereens. So do we retreat and make shelter from all that, into cozy cocoons conjured of oxygen and dreams, and call these new tabernacles our forever-abodes, and try to forget that terrible angel of world birthing chaos which we caught perverse glimpses of in our vainglorious errors and perpetudes of sublime arrogance.

(NaturalNews) Japan's nuclear watchdog has now declared the leak of radioactive water from Fukushima a "state of emergency." Each day, 300 tons of radioactive water seeps into the ocean, and it's now clear that TEPCO has engage in a two-and-a-half-year cover-up of immense magnitude.
