Remember,Remember

Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?

Well it was a book linked to a vinyl LP that my mother bought for us which was Hansel and Gretel.I don’t remember the music, but I do remember the Grimm’s story.

Anyway, it was beautiful and I love fairy and gremlin stories to this day.

Best Regards

Three Books….out of so many

List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?

I think literature in all languages and eras has an  embracing effect on everyone.A few words can mean a lot and a good story is worth its’ weight in gold.

A top three,ten or twenty is irrelevant. It can be very much a moment in time. Enjoy.

What Fears?

A hairy spider ran across the floor,

I ran quickly for the door,

For three days I did not enter again,

I decided to sleep in my snug den,

I wrapped myself up quite tight,

I even kept on the light

After three days it was safe to go in,

I couldn’t let the spider win,

And sure enough on the third dawn.

That pesky spider had gone.

“Win, Win” I proudly cried,

And hoped the spider hadn’t died.

Appreciating the opportunity to do a good thing.

Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.

What is good?

If you can be good and do good.If you have that opportunity,then you are very lucky.

Namaste.

Friends are not two a penny.

What quality do you value most in a friend?

It’s hard to find  genuine friends, but they are when you find them special to you,perhaps unique to you.

You click,you don’t demand their time and there are just moments to treasure and give you emotional sustenance.

Accept and live with it.Friends are not two a penny.

One Job or Another

What jobs have you had?

One job or another,

It’s going to get you,

It’s going to find you,

It’s going to make you,take you , fuck sake you,

One way or another,

Your thoughts  of being left  with  some self

esteem,

Will disappear and seem like a dream,

Life will fail and your youth sink in the drain,

Leaving you with just sorrow and pain,

No white knight or supernumerary raise,

Time will vanish in a haze,

One way or another,

They’re going to get you,  they’re going to get you,

One way or another.

Namaste,hope you enjoy.😉

Followed with Devotion

Do you practice religion?

I had to define religion before perhaps understanding how I felt about practicing it.

Although I don’t follow a traditional religious path I am definitely devoted to life and humanity, so religion or indeed faith are not bad words to me.

However , Religion and Blind Faith have been used to cause a lot of ill in the World,so perhaps per se  the words are not evil, but  they have generated  evil actions through  centuries and who knows perhaps since the big bang

Do I practice Religion? Yes I do, but it is my own faith and conviction. It is based on trying to do the best in any given situation and it is not easy.

Onwards,upwards and sideways.

Namaste

Yes

Do you remember life before the internet?

There was good and there was bad.

The good was if you wanted to find information out then you had to do the research yourself,possibly interacting with others to reach out and establish what you wanted to find out.

The bad was it was  slow ,took up space and time and you could still pick up the wrong end of the stick,literally and virtually You were creating your own virtual world,rightly or wrongly and could be led up many blind paths and not have access to the information you needed.The Library was shut and it was. a Bank Holiday.

Now, information flows like a giant river, we swim in it ,and sometimes get overwhelmed but we survive and thrive if we work at our swimming technique.

So in summary ,it’s not all bad and there is a lot of good.It all depends on us.
