still alive
2009-07-19 09:49:00
Sun 19: Near miss with car. Was wearing FitFlops and walking quite quickly. As I stepped off the pavement about to cross the road, the tip of the FitFlop launched me forward, but instead of regaining my footing, I seemed to bend and roll into a ball, and continue rolling ? right into the middle ...

Sat 18: Is Matt Taibbi right about Goldman Sachs? Greed is a terrible thing. It creates such disharmony. But to purposely manipulate international finances for personal (ie their corporate) benefit is appalling. Perhaps my bit of the Almighty thought this was an idea worth following up, as there was a link to Ayn Rand in Google ...

trust issues
2009-07-17 19:33:00
Fri 17: Estate issues are still causing problems. Trust and high-handedness do not make comfortable bedfellows. Indeed, it was because of the potential for bad feeling that I always put everything in writing, and told all what I was doing and what I did so there was no confusion. The same code of conduct is not ...

Thurs 16: God knows what sank Atlantis. With England it will be the weight of concrete ? concrete houses, concrete roads and the concrete brains of those in power. I don?t know whether to laugh or cry. Meanwhile, New Scientist opines that there is an artistic gene linked to psychosis and schizophrenia which also influences ...

surviving through others
2009-07-15 21:45:00
Wed 15: Survival of the fittest is a core belief for atheists. But when survival for some depends on the compassion of others, then a different factor comes into play. How many would survive without a benefits infrastructure for example? Or for our current open door to all and sundry? Alan Johnson, the new Home Secretary ...

respecting all of life
2009-07-14 21:51:00
Tues 14: A topic that needs repetition… The virtues of giving, sharing and thankfulness remain worthy spiritual ideals. The more pragmatic truth though is that there continue to be vast swathes of humankind giving nothing, yet milking the system for their selfish needs, with nary a hint of embarrassment. Those of us who provide the backbone ...

wedding manners
2009-07-13 23:12:00
Mon 13: My well-earned rest for a very busy day was spoiled by a reminder of the ghastly C, who sent me a wedding list but just an invitation to her evening party. Stupid me bought something nice (ie not cheap), drove two hours to get there, and the mean creature couldn?t even be bothered ...

buried in books
2009-07-12 23:03:00
Sun 12: Read something about Leibniz early this morning. My mind then jumped to wanting all my God books together. (There was a logical association!) Thinking it would be an easy swap with my art books, I made a start on returning from the newsagents and having a quick breakfast. Several hours later, with around 3,000 ...

Fri 10: Criticism of Michael Jackson is unlikely to ever end. Innocence is viewed through subjective lens at the best of times. That aside, his changing physiognomy will forever signal that he was on a different wavelength to the rest of us. But the key issue is surely ?the rest of us?. Or rather his ...

Ma memories

Thurs 9: More interruptions to scheduled tasks,, dropping off the laptops and printers for recycling. More horror at the way the money we give to the community is so abused: the BBC seemingly using the TV licence fee for lavish pensions and excessive spending rather than programme making; unnecessary quangos with unnecessary jobs but massive ...

Wed 8: It?s one of life?s curiosities that I was born on Groundhog Day. I seem to endure repeats on many levels ? including why write a blog or indeed why anyone would read it. Well, to repeat myself (again!), I write it because it is a diary of my spiritual journey. I suppose people ...

rest in peace
2009-07-07 23:39:00
Tues 7: Somewhat ghoulishly, I ?enjoy? funerals. That sense of the soul returning home is so strong, I almost feel jealous. It helps of course if the service is of the spiritual contemplative variety, with sacred music. (A friend had Dancing Queen as part of hers, which I found rather shocking.) So it was a given ...

creative break
2009-07-06 19:18:00
Mon 6: Leaping out of bed, all raring to go, sounds like a good start to a Monday morning. Except, within about five minutes, my left forearm erupted in lumps, with a couple on the right and one on the right lower leg. Turned on the laptop and the non-deus ex machina decided to unfind ...

questions & concerns
2009-07-05 22:50:00
Sun 5: Spent virtually the entire day catching up with something that does not usually take up much mind space - conspiracy theories. Of course I have heard of Bilderberg and Illuminati. But the Tavistock Institute? Benjamin Fulford? Orgone? Kurt Sonnenfeld? A Chinese alternative organisation to the Illuminati? (Must learn Mandarin!) There is a complete other dimension, ...

Sat 4: Pruning and lopping branches is an excellent means of keeping bingo wings at bay. (I think I referred to them previously as bat wings ? which I still think is much more apposite.) Apart from watching Exodus for the gazillionth time, it was the usual Saturday of cramming in small tasks in the house ...

opportunity awaiting
2009-07-03 20:48:00
Fri 3: Can we have lightning without thunder or rain? Because I am convinced that is what woke me at least three times during the night. Yet this morning, there is no sign of rain; the ?pond? in the front garden is empty and the path and paving look totally dry. It?s overcast, with a ...

misinformation
2009-07-02 23:54:00
Thurs 2: Wow! Great clip of Michael Jackson. I could certainly feel the suppressed energy and there was no way he looked frail and underweight. If anything, he looked more ?manly?, albeit with his odd face. So it definitely puts the lie to the mass of misinformation around, especially the Halperin biography, it seems. Funnily ...

loving small children
2009-07-01 21:07:00
Wed 1: There is an age range in very small children when they have one tiny foot in heaven and one on earth. To me, they seem aware of their spiritual essence. Even better, they can see it in me. There is a knowing look of recognition. It?s why I am so drawn to them. ...

uphill struggles
2009-06-30 19:34:00
Tues 30: I prefer to draw loosely, without measuring up or using grids. The more relaxed and unthinking I am, the better the results, hence not liking to use aids, although I do have them. However, I really am struggling to draw P. At least from the photo her mother sent. It’s quite a small jpeg for a start and the tones make her look like an older version of herself. Not what I want, let alone her mother. Looking for help, I had a practice with a lightbox - and it makes her look even older. Sigh. Even using a grid has created a totally inaccurate representation, unlike my first freehand drawing. I am reasonably sure it is because it means I have to stop and think, instead of just allowing. However, I will get a true likeness. Meanwhile, I so love the warmth. Just less keen on oppressive heat and all those horrible sentients which take over the house. There are moths and daddy longlegs everywhere.(That was last night. This morning, there were dead bodies everywhere as their time ...

with fame

Sun 28: Great start to Sunday with annoying email that not only got facts wrong, but made it worse by including an emotive message. An email was sent the other week about the mess at BC, leading another to ask whether it had been burgled. And that is despite me telling all I had spent two ...

another disaster dream
2009-06-27 22:30:00
Sat 27: Another looming disaster dream and, yet again, not necessarily for me. I was in Littlehampton quite early, to pick up something. I then popped into a shop to buy a couple of stylish, expensive blouses, but I came out with them still on their hangers and not in a bag. (Littlehampton and stylish ...

Fri 26: Technology sometimes has a life of its own. This morning, the art backup external drive, despite being plugged in, re-found itself as did another external drive. And I then discovered my Outlook pst file had been re-formatted with all my sort settings changed. How? Why? Is it down to Spare Backup, although it has ...

dreams and death
2009-06-26 00:44:00
Thurs 25: Bombs and snakes aren?t good dream material. But they do make memorable dreams. I can clearly remember a dream from a while back about the bombing of an underground station. I died in the dream. (The 7/7 bombings happened not long after.) And, much earlier, I had a dream of being buried and sensing ...

Wed 24: The boxes in the spare room seem to have been reproducing. Piles of the blessed things made the room even more cluttered than normal, so out they went to the garage. Meanwhile, the nice lady at Spare Backup, who is also an artist, showed me why nothing was being backed up and how ...

Sat 20: Years ago, one of the NandDs wondered if I was a spy because of the obscure photos I took. I was thinking of that this morning as I took the bypass route to Ecclesden Manor for the RNLI benefit fete. When the traffic wasn?t roaring past, there was a kind of nostalgia for times ...

priority foul
2009-06-19 18:37:00
Fri 19: There is frequently a misguided view that anything ?spiritual? must be saintly or good in some way. Wrong. Being spiritual means making ?quality time? for non-material concerns. Whether that is through a formal religion, or through a personally constructed faith, is immaterial in my view. What is important is putting God, whatever we ...

Thurs 18: Chill wind for June. Sunny spells were deceptive as I walked to the letterbox. Put on my M&S cheapo but classy-looking sunglasses, smiling back at the lady who smiled at me. Got back in and discovered I still had the price label on. Sigh. Spent nearly two hours scanning in fish and some more ...

Wed 17: This art business is expensive. While my art remains primarily a form of spiritual communion, the business of art entails horrible expense and forward planning which the normal art mindset does not usually consider. Take photographing art. My cute little Samsung is fine for snapshots but not really suitable for creating prints. Yes I know ...
