The first sentence would be the hardest
The task would seem ginormous,
To start a tome ,
That was my own,
About me and the quirks of life,
So much fun and the odd bit of strife,
To be honest I’ll never crack it,
So no reviewer will ever get to hack it.
Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

Funny enough, when you have nothing , everything is taken away , you are stripped of the things that you thought important. What is left? Objects, do they matter and could you live without them? Sometimes you have no choice. In the past people have had no choice and have survived by adapting to circumstances or by fortuitous accident or coincidence.
A receptacle to hold water when you have flowing water all around you and without a receptacle you cannot have a drink. ( cupping your hands satisfies a need). You have wood to make a fire but no match, this is hard as suddenly the wood seems useless. Without a match, fire and warmth could you live without them? Perhaps there is a spark somewhere? Finally , nutrients, how would you sustain yourself , you don’t need plates and a knife and fork, but you look for food that you can eat again with your bare hands.
Objects are not what life is about, they do make life’s processes easier however.

With all the space ships and satellites moving around Earth and attempting to get to other planets and the possibility of man made collisions and pollution. Fate or Destiny is unlikely, man is a driven creature who likes to decide things and very rarely thinks things through. Our efforts seem so poor in comparison to the World we continuously want to explore and use .
Nature on the other hand accepts things and devises work arounds, where necessary but on the whole is predictable. Nature accepts that things happen even it didn’t anticipate the event; and decides on a path that man may not comprehend. It may be necessary that all good things come to an end. Death and rebirth might be part of survival in the long run.
I see a pattern not a fate and I trust in Nature more than I trust in man made decisions or angst or the wish to predict or run the future. Or indeed blow it up with man made devices.

It is difficult not to be nostalgic , but where does it get you? Nowhere, so in truth I have nothing to say goodbye to , only lots of things to wonder at.

Well I can’t,so pointless question.
Nevertheless there’s those who will tempt small children into imagining that they can be Prince and Princesses. A dream or a nightmare perhaps, or is it just part of play time, a harmless pass time where the weird kid in the playground says she wants to be Einstein and everyone laughs. Who would want to be a funny old man with uncontrollable hair, did he discover or did he invent? Who cares? The kid who wants to be Buzz Lightyear, he’s cool. Everyone wants to play with him and most of the girls want to be Princess Leia

Oh the plans I have, the solutions to everyday domestic inconveniences. The perfect kitchen,living room bathroom and bedroom. They never work out. Why?
I’m not really sure, lack of planning or lack of money, the interest is there but perhaps I’m a DIY failure. I’m good at demolishing and not good at building, so perhaps I’ve learnt best not to start a project.
I’ve recently noted that the overhead lights in the kitchen are useless when you are trying to chop up vegetables in the kitchen after dark. They point in the wrong direction even though they are adjustable. I have my back to the light and basically my head casts a shadow on where I’m trying to cut neat little cubes of vegetables. It’s very frustrating, particularly when I move to the left and the light shines on my not so neatly cut vegetables.
Still I always say to myself ” there’s more important things in life”. I suppose there are, but at that particular moment of not being able to see what I’m doing, I really am apoplectic and it seems that the World is so unfair.

Unfortunately I’m the type of person who would ban something because I don’t like it. So I’ll never make things better by banning.
If I could cure verbal diarrhea I would . People talking for the sake of talking and continuing to talk because they can’t stop themselves and have probably lost the track of their argument and don’t want to lose face. We’ve all been there, perhaps there is a cure. Silence.

It’s worth making the effort to be myself and reduce the amount of “noise” that I feel duty bound to respond to. There are many reasons why I’m in the best position ever to do that and I am grateful for the opportunity.

There is no stream to follow, nothing is finite or definite, life is not a series of boxes to be ticked and you have to look at the motives for giving and receiving advice. Check your spelling.
Best of Luck.
Luck, Luck, Luck
