A little bite

Why do insects sneakily bite me when I’m out walking in hot sunshine in a middle England town.

The bite when it happens is sharp like a needle.I reach my hand down after saying “ouch” and look to see what the cause was.No sign of anything,Not even a red mark.My leg looks perfectly normal.

I keep checking to see if anything has bitten me, but it’s the next day,that the swelling appears, it looks white with a tiny little bite mark on top and I know that in a few days it will turn red and start to itch.

What are these creatures and why are their bites so random and what benefit do they get out of them?I don’t think it’s a deep enough bite to suck blood but at the same time the bite causes pain and a delayed defence reaction from my body.Why do the little critters do it and why do I never see them do it.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.

Spirituality

How important is spirituality in your life?

I currently know a very religious person who I talk to  frequently.

Our conversations are interjected with cries of Jehovah be willing,so at the moment Spirituality is playing an important role in my life in that I have to show empathy and understanding,when really I consider this behaviour irrational.

Much more interested in the Spirituality of Nature and its’ various activities.

Selfishness isn’t all bad.

How do you practice self-care?

Do you think that  the United States of. America President Trump practices self-care? I doubt it, and he gives selfishness a bad name.It’s a bad combination.It’s definitely a road to Armageddon and there will be plenty of his followers who will gleefully go along that road in the belief that there is a better life waiting for them and that everyone else can burn.

Not that Trump believes that will happen, his size tens are firmly in this World and what he can get out of it.

Nevertheless to navigate this rather tumultuous period, we must practice self-care.Don’t be side-tracked by these fools.Do your stretches, choose to eat well, support businesses who do the right thing and breathe.It’s selfish I know and takes up time, but it’s so much better than worrying or indeed bombing people.

Drop an Einstein

How do you waste the most time every day?

How easily we drop an  Einstein today.Sadly the great man is being used to promote “smart meters” on television adverts .This is doubly sad as smart meters really aren’t  that smart.

Still the fact remains Einstein’s genius was pure and hard won. In his youth his suitability for academia was questioned by those who could not understand him,however,he went against the tide of opinion and won through to become an intellectual icon.

In doing so,he spent a lot of time doing things others felt were a waste of time. I’m sure he would agree, no matter what others say, time as an entity can never be wasted.

When we follow our intuition down a black hole and come out none the wiser, we have still learned or perhaps we have had a rest from overthinking.Either way we have used time to our benefit and perhaps to the benefit of those around us.

I would suggest that saying something is a waste of time is the only way to  waste time, and we should be wary of those who push the idea of wasting time  as it stops creativity and originality in its tracks

It was a leaf….

It was a tree opposite the window she would often gazed out of while she sipped her morning coffee.

A movement in the branch caught her eye,it was a familiar movement.

“Randy pigeon”she thought.

She had often seen male pigeons courting and chasing the female pigeons around her small garden.So she supposed this was the culmination of all that effort.

6 O’clock in the morning in the cool.Wise Pigeons.

10 minutes later the familiar movement was still going strong,then it slowed, and then it sped up again.

“Was he ever going to climax?” she thought wistfully.Not sure what lady pigeon would think.

And then it stopped,and she realised that the movement was not in fact a pigeon.It was indeed a leaf ,at a strange angle in the tree,which flapped  erratically at the slightest breeze.

Half an hour later ,she looked at the tree and yes the dark shape of the leaf still excitedly flapped in the slight breeze.

She smiled.Why had she been so interested in seeing a pigeon climax?

Ice Cream

Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?

It has to be Ice Cream,because it is such a treat in all its’ forms.

From childhood it was an ice cream bar with a semi-soft biscuit  enclosing  vanilla flavoured  ice cream, just  like a wafer with two delicious white  blobs which  you could buy  from the ice cream van,except the  factory made offering came from the display cabinet freezer in the local shop and was wrapped in attractive packaging and seemed “better”.

I can’t remember what it was called, but over the years I’ve seen variations of it in shops and supermarkets but they never match the original.I even wish the little shop with the freezer cabinet still existed,but it’s probably long gone

So there you are….

Victor Hugo

Who is your favorite historical figure?

When I read his books,I feel alive, even though the subject matters can be challenging.

He was a statesman,a campaigner and even an exile  from his beloved France due to his stance on subjects such as capital punishment and slavery.

His beliefs live on through his writing.
