The everyday is everything - it beats to a rhythm of its own making, punctuated by the opening and closing of daylight to moonshine. It is monotonous and grounding, allowing for fanciful flights of alternative everydays in some other place to this everyday.  

It is a solo endeavour, ordering oneself to the world in one’s own pleasure of habit. But, in its ever presence, it binds all in a collective march of shared temporalities, of construed meanings and sense of self.  

The everyday is purposeful. In its gouging, lifting, moving, building, it creates cities in its wake; it moves soils, dumps boulders and buries pipes, as it moves continually from yesterday to the dream of tomorrow.  

The everyday is the vista shot through a lens of looking. And in that looking, the eye sees the familiar, spots the aloof, and seeks pleasure through the games of noticing. 

It is the deep inhale of a ripe autumn morning; the smell of rain on tarmac; the slither of legs across fresh sheets; fulfilment, passing; surfaces of a table, a lino floor, a tree, this chair, that paving stone; steadying and touching, our bodily limbs guide us through, over, onwards. And sometimes down. 

We know the everyday; we wriggle within it, climbing in to feel our way around and within it, but we cannot stop it. The metronome, a quiet tick: the everyday is everything.
