Bothersome

What bothers you and why?

Oh bother me or bother that

Life is full of things like that

The sad fact is we can’t escape

And  Batman won’t arrive  with a flowing cape

Just bother,bother,bother

Let’s face it that politician’s   a tosser

My fate will be  just like any other,

Born, to live and die and cope  with all this

bother.

Ten things I know for certain

List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain.

Reading a good book is inspirational

People can be reliable or unreliable

To care and be gentle are important qualities

Never take yourself too seriously

Shared laughter and love is a gift

Nature is more powerful than humanity

The cynical underestimate the optimist

My skin needs moisturised daily

Aging has its benefits as well as its drawbacks

Matter will always exist and we will always matter

Namaste and Thank You for Reading, may your omnipotent being go with you.

The Two Way Blanket

Are you seeking security or adventure?

I have a magic blanket

It does two  things at once

On cold and quiet days it’s my comfort,

On adventure days it’s helps me with my stunts,

For off I go into the wilderness my trusty tent on

my back

With my magic blanket neatly packed within my

haversack,

It can be a soft seat  to paint and draw,

Or at night a soft pillow to help me snore,

The magic of it being two way

Seems like a miracle to me every day.

Namaste and thank you for reading, may your Omnipotent being go with you.

The AI Heatwave

It’s the UK here, we are having a heatwave. We are not used to these temperatures and we are suffering. I just thought I’d share AI’s picture of our heatwave. It does feel dry and as if the sun is beating down on us endlessly.

Namaste , thank you for reading, stay cool and may your God go with you.

Fine Wine

What do you think gets better with age?

Bottles of fine wine gain value in monetary terms and are I believe a fine investment, unless you come across a deviant fraudster who sells you a “cheap bottle” which turns out to be of no value at all.

The “taste” after many years  of sitting bottled , in  temperature and humidity controlled cellars is to be savoured and is worth its weight in whatever currency gives you the edge and won’t incur too much tax on your profit.

So not to be trite of course it is also possible for humanity to improve with age just like fine wine and without such deft manipulation of the transactional.

Age and time can mellow and improve a fruity spirit.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading and may your God go with you.

Is there an average?

What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?

Is there an average time to go to bed and wake up she thought to herself

Perhaps there is or perhaps there isn’t,or perhaps it’s a question of health?

Whatever the answer ,whether fat or thin,rich or poor,

Going to bed and waking up definitely has quite

an allure.

Goodnight and Namaste and may your God go with you.

The strategy to increase comfort.

What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life?

I have just ordered some wool which is 100% cotton in various attractive colours and I am going to knit myself some cotton socks.

I love cotton socks,they are so comforting for my feet.

The Future

What are you most excited about for the future?

The future can be taken away in a moment. It doesn’t exist ,in fact it becomes our present and past so quickly, that sometimes we don’t even acknowledge it.

Pause for that thought and your future has passed.

That isn’t to say dreaming about the future is bad, dreams are fine, and can help us through the day.But they are dreams and yes they are worth getting excited about and enjoying them for what they are.Dreams.

The future is rather harsher, it’s ephemeral and will pass no matter what we do and we deal with it as best we can.It can be good, bad or extremely ugly.

In the time it’s taken for me to write this, it’s been and gone and I can never get it back. Was it of value?Yes.Was I excited? Well,yes I get excited writing.Was it predictable?No I came to a conclusion in the present that surprised me and I hadn’t predicted or planned.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.
