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.

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.

What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?

Ego, put it to bed and smile and laugh at the goodness in the World. There is enough sadness without adding to it with utter selfishness.

What is your favorite genre of music?

All genres and all styles of music have a place in my heart.

There is no one genre that floats my boat.

Musicality is an art and the purveyors of it can touch your soul even with a set of spoons or drumsticks on a table. The humble penny whistle can be a delight to the ear when played with gusto.

Describe your most memorable vacation.

The Holiday that wasn’t defined by  any other’s definition of enjoyment and I could be myself.

On what subject(s) are you an authority?

I started hear to omniblog

For the world to have more dialogue

I’ve made some noise and am omniloscious

Thank you for your time, for you are really

precious

Namaste and may your pearls of wisdom enlighten the many and confuse the few.

What’s your definition of romantic?

My definition of romantic,

May seem, to some, pedantic,

Flowers and diamonds don’t do it for me,

I prefer a cosy sofa and  a cup of tea,

To talk  or be quiet and  an acceptance of fair

Ignoring both our  rather unkempt hair,

To smile at a shared  near  disaster,

That was fixed by a well applied sticky plaster,

To laugh at the smelly pompous neighbours,

Their behaviours  from,  please God save us,

We accept our faults for they are few,

One day our vows we must renew.

We might get around to that eventually,

And have a stonking,silly party

But then  again we were never that hot

And in truth  we  haven’t tied  the knot,

For that takes planning and a lot of  effort,

If you’re happy then just enjoy  your dessert

Let others dress up and parade in a square

For we have a love that is really quite rare .

How do you express your gratitude?

By saying thank you.

What are you most worried about for the future?

Well you are told worrying is bad for your health,but is it?

Perhaps I will worry about that.

Then again perhaps I won’t.

Why worry?

Namaste and Thank You for reading.

What makes a teacher great?

A great teacher must forget their ego and concentrate solely on what makes their pupil succeed.

Funny, that really is a very hard task today as teachers are now rewarded for achieving targets set by unaccountable government bodies and to be promoted they must be effective business leaders who can talk the talk when it comes to profit and loss.

Surprisingly there are still great teachers around who achieve great things, however, there are just too many pupils who never come across a great teacher and therefore never get the chance to gain  the insight education can bring .

It is a great loss to society.
