Sentimental items
2010-09-25 18:22:00 ..take strange forms. When Ma came to stay with me, when I lived in North Ascot, we went to a DIY shop and I bought a self-assembly ottoman which we both put together. She was so thrilled, like a little child, at us managing to get all those umpteen bits into what became a sturdy ... More About: Sentimental , Items
Mondays
2010-09-21 11:23:00 …are not a good day to be distracted. They set the tone for the rest of the week. But, needless to say, my critical post of yesterday has attracted some strong counter-comment. And quite right too. Isn?t that what free speech is all about? But, in case someone here also read the post incorrectly, it ...
Creation and energy
2010-09-19 22:52:00 …are two of my art subject areas, albeit of the more esoteric kind. In my view, they are also key elements of Roman Catholic practise. For mere humans, sexual activity is to procreate. If you don?t want endless babies, you abstain or practise safe sex. That?s the general idea. For priests, their first duty is to ...

The unemployed
2010-09-13 13:50:00 …should perhaps take up the jobs carelessly ignored by far too many potential suppliers. I?ve lost count of the messages I?ve left for plumbers, electricians and gardeners which are never even granted the courtesy of a reply. It?s relatively rare to get a white collar business that ignores a sales query though. Even rarer for the ...
Watching Masada
2010-09-12 19:36:00 …yesterday (pre-nausea attack) reminded me of my trip to Israel. So many elements remain vivid ? except when I actually went! Sadly, when I finally found a reference ? in 1999 ? there was a mere brief paragraph: ?Israel: August 22nd to Sept 1st… a place I had so longed to see for so many ... More About: Watching
Sales and marketing
2010-09-08 18:46:00 …have been my means of serious income for the best part of my life, thus far, providing me with the ability to sell a broad range of products and services rather successfully. Meaning I earned above average to serious income for a very long time. So I tend to be less forgiving when others fail ... More About: Marketing , Sales
My Sunday morning ritual
2010-09-05 21:32:00 ..invariably includes listening to sacred music while reading the newspapers. Apart from subconsciously tuning into my higher self, it is probably a mechanism for balancing the seemingly inevitable awfulness that clogs up the newsprint week after miserable week. The item about police brutality in Wiltshire really shocked me ? even if the woman had been shouting, ... More About: Sunday , Morning , Ritual , Sunday morning
Having an anxiety attack
2010-08-31 20:25:00 …is not how I?d like to start a new month. But, despite being busy (double stint stewarding at the Arundel Gallery Trail), there has been a serious wave of apprehension clouding my generally good mood. Even strenuous activity, digging out the tap root of the curry plant (to move it to a more spacious area) ... More About: Anxiety
The Age of Aquarius
2010-08-23 19:52:00 …is supposed to herald a time of love for all. If press reports are anything to go on though, hearts appear to be hardening, and not just for Pakistan right now. One OF (online friend) comments ?the time when it’s every person for themselves will come soon enough? ? and I am inclined to agree. ... More About: Aquarius
Colin Wilson?s books
2010-08-22 23:46:00 …are a nifty way of speed-reading the relevant bibliography ? meaning he provides enough quotes and salient points to avoid having to plough through the books myself. But I still managed to disagree with him, several times before I finished chapter three of Super Consciousness. As he may go on to refine his view, I?ll ... More About: Books
Belief in life
2010-08-18 20:15:00 …continuing, in some form, is never going to change for me. I have had far too many other-dimensional experiences for personal verification to disbelieve. What does give me cause for spiritual pause is how dice are dealt. Being part of the same Source or Great Everything, at some level, we make those choices, so there is ... More About: Life
Werewolves
2010-08-14 16:24:00 …guilt; compassion and guilt; it?s been one of those lengthy moments with the idea of guilt playing around in my mind. The, also lengthy, process of getting the right contacts for mail marketing is one excuse. Wanting to catch up with enjoyable painting and drawing is another. (The image is one layer of several silhouettes of ...
Male relationships
2010-08-10 00:07:00 …are, seemingly, all homo ? at least according to many super loud internet jabberers. (?Keyboard warriors?, as one KW opined.) Even Dr Who, when I last watched it, had a sexual sub-text. Yet I wanted to see if there was anything metaphysical to learn. Merlin, which I still like watching, just about, is also being ...

Sensing the heat
2010-08-05 19:22:00 …from my scalp and face moving down to my neck and throat is intriguing ? and far easier to manage. A cold flannel on the back of the neck is also not as nutty as one on top of the head! Exercise is also supposed to bring down head heat, but, as I don?t exercise enough, ... More About: Heat
Littlehampton
2010-08-03 10:43:00 …is a missed opportunity on a number of levels ? not least for rather passive local officialdom. As you know, I?ve given up on any progress with open studios since Arun withdrew from West Sussex County Council?s arts partnership. The arts cover a wide brief and I feel that catering for all generally, serves all ...
Tax return posted
2010-07-29 21:19:00 ? with all the right information but probably in the wrong places! I did ring the tax technician (sic) to clarify things like books, but it all ended up confusing me more than ever as ALL my previous accountants, including the ex-tax inspector, had advised me differently. Ah well. At least I am trying ... More About: Return
Flaxseed powder
2010-07-26 21:51:00 …with peanut butter, or Nutella, seemed to do the fibre trick for a few days, but increasing my fat intake didn?t appeal, so I bought the liquid variety. I had started the morning with a flat, relatively toned tummy; took slightly more than a teaspoon of the flaxseed liquid ? and, for the rest of ...
Vanity

Lotions and potions for melasma, as well as sunscreen and, not least, all makeup have all been ?filed away? until this sun rash has gone. But at least it doesn?t look as if someone has punched me in the eyes today. On the plus side, Body Shop?s ... More About: Vanity
Jesus meek and humble of heart,
2010-07-18 23:46:00 … make my heart like unto thine. That?s what Ma used to intone for more or less any negative circumstance. However, I am not sure she actually understood what Jesus really meant (in my view). Ditto fundamentalists or Law of Attraction devotees. True realisation of the actual message means walking blindfold off a cliff ? ... More About: Heart
Am having an Ayn Rand moment
2010-07-17 21:19:00 ? albeit an unending one. Figures, considering we share a birthday. Media obsession with the appalling Moat is actually feeding the moronic mindset of those whose lives are vacuous, filled only with the doings of some talentless oik or, even worse, a pug-ugly murderer. I turn channels now rather than see his evil fat ... More About: Moment

Cosmic ordering
2010-07-11 22:03:00 …has much in common with the entitled mind. And there are a lot of the latter these days. (Check out the Sundays, if your blood pressure can stand it, for yet more examples.) Future historians will probably call the last decade or so the Entitlement Years. Nary a hint of guilt or gratitude ? even ...
King Solomon?s
2010-07-06 20:52:00 …two mothers keep springing to mind on reading reactions to economic cuts. I have yet to read of overpaid public sector managers reducing their salaries to enable lower paid employees to remain in post. And is it really surprising that the solution for union leaders is to threaten endless strikes like deeply unpleasant Violet Elizabeths. Getting ... More About: King

In fact, the first decent night?s sleep was last night, back in my own bed. And dozing on the sofa this afternoon. I had planned to ...
Football?s gods
2010-06-27 20:01:00 ? the English variety ? have clay feet. Curiosity got the better of me so I watched parts of the England-Germany match. The tabloids again droned on about the war, so it was fine karmic retribution to be hammered 4:1. But you don?t need to be a football-phobe to see what an undynamic bunch ... More About: Football

Spiritual metaphysics dictate that we should help others, as what we do for them is also helping ourselves. So I know where I stand spiritually, even when I speak out for those constantly ...

Hypocrisy rules.
2010-06-16 20:11:00 Loss of all sentient life remains a cause of sorrow. But the environment does renew. Tourism will continue even if only rubbernecking an oil spill. Many fishermen, I read, are making more money from BP than they ever did from fishing. Yet Obama?s vendetta against BP fails to apportion blame fairly ? as it should. ...
