distracted by life
2009-04-30 20:11:00 Thurs 30: Another month over. And no further forward with Ma?s estate. One NandD is on holiday, the other still has not provided an inventory of valuables taken over Easter. I just pray this, and selling BC, is not going to be another bumpy ride. The ?bumpy ride? comment makes it sound as if there ... More About: Life
controlling the masses
2009-04-29 21:34:00 Wed 29: Blistered toes and still feeling underpowered after a day in London yesterday, though the nice lady from the Healthcare Commission may not have agreed! Re the blisters, if I walk a lot, I rarely escape them ? no matter what shoes I am wearing. That last remark was because of all the comments I ...
art illusions
2009-04-27 20:06:00 Mon 27: Should spiritual art be described? Should any art have meaning? This morning, I read: ?any art which needs a paragraph next to it to tell you what it means, is rubbish?. Perhaps. But I subscribe to Kandinsky?s view that art should open eyes to the spiritual essence behind this illusion of reality. An unblinkered ... More About: Illusions
ebbs and flows
2009-04-25 21:23:00 Sat 25: Long handled garden shears not only cut down weeds, they also keeps batwings at bay. So there is some merit in leaving plant immigrants to run riot. It takes a lot of arm power to cut them down and rake them into a pile (ie mountain) for further action, leading to toned arms. ...
spiritual stillness required
2009-04-24 18:44:00 Fri 24: A commission I am working on is giving me a good idea of how much time and effort is involved. Surprisingly more than I realised, but it should be well worth it. Meanwhile, with weekend weather supposedly gloomy, I took advantage of the sunshine to go into Worthing. What a sad looking place ... More About: Spiritual
memory playing tricks
2009-04-23 21:13:00 Thurs 23: Memory can play tricks, but I know I once wrote that species about to die out become same sex, but cannot find the scientific reference. And googling isn?t helping because of the endless non-scientific, lobbyist gumpf, to wade past first. The most obvious point would be that not being able to reproduce (through natural ...

when forgiveness fails
2009-04-22 21:43:00 Wed 22: A budget on a Master Number day…and Labour typically trying to reduce its effect by announcing changes to MPs? expenses. A daily rate for showing up! No, no, no. Why can?t they just claim for what they spend, not for their valueless time? The budget itself is Labour back to their squeeze the rich ... More About: Forgiveness
undercurrents
2009-04-21 21:12:00 Tues 21: Sharing anything over the blogiverse (or is it blogoverse?) is a mixed blessing. Raising one?s profile also gives other creatives ideas or motivation to take a particular path. The struggling aspect feels fear at the increased competition. Or there are inevitable comparisons which could deflate an unpumped self-esteem. Meanwhile, my physical health is taking ...
seeing but not seeing
2009-04-20 23:38:00 Mon 20: To see anything good in poverty is crass. Yet, I used to tell people long ago that I believed a major catastrophe would see the pendulum swing in favour of those without ? that, being used to living with little, they would be able to handle an earth-shaking cataclysm much better than the ...
conception day
2009-04-19 18:09:00 Sun 19: Are we like our Chinese animal signs? I am a Water Dragon. Other family members are Tiger, Rat, Pig, Goat, Horse, Snake, Monkey … This morning, it was deceptively sunny - inside; outside was like walking to the North Pole. (Use your imagination!) To avoid thinking of how wind battered I was, I ...
self-awareness and trust
2009-04-18 21:40:00 Sat 18: Trust is one of those funny paradoxes. Twice in the space of two hours, trust was mentioned. Yet we tend to project on to others our own issues of trust ? whether it might be a subconscious desire to do something contentious or perhaps even based on some questionable action done in the ...

cure for unhappiness
2009-04-17 20:22:00 Fri 17: Being busy does not stop aloneness from making its presence felt. Part of it is spiritual aloneness. Actually, probably most of it. That does not stop me wondering why it is always me who makes the effort. And I do because I care about people. It?s not just passing curiosity. Perhaps in the ... More About: Cure
online contact fluff
2009-04-16 20:21:00 Thurs 16: Yesterday, I cancelled the garden tidy; today, I got a netbook that works. (LG) Alleluia! Within 5 minutes of switching it on, it was connected to my network, and I was checking my gmail. Then I downloaded Skype, and decided to use WordPad instead of the tech hurdle of transferring Word across. Phew. Unfortunately, I ... More About: Contact , Online
communication impasse
2009-04-15 20:59:00 Wed 15: Yesterday?s speed-weeding at lunchtime is making its presence felt today. And on top of a weird dream (of Miss Dynamite leaping from one of the top tiers of a football stadium, several feet below onto the playing field as an act of protest at something racist ? and surviving unscathed); chasing NandDs to ...

art as a spiritual exercise
2009-04-14 23:08:00 Mon 14: Making art is a spiritual exercise, but it is also a business for some. That means the unappetising chore of marketing. Some, like one twitterer ? now removed ? constantly updated his far too frequent tweets with price and availability of his prints, like a market trader. Which of course we all are ...

slightly flawed
2009-04-13 20:58:00 Bank Hol Mon 13: A lot of gardening stuff can be achieved in two and a half hours. And it?s also just the worst amount of time for a leak in one of the weedkillers to cover the kitchen floor. Still, I surprised myself by sorting out the garage as well as the back ...
meandering through Easter
2009-04-12 20:50:00 Easter Sunday 12: When I was younger, Easter weather seemed to match the moment. Cloudy, rainstorms and general gloom, giving way to bright, optimistic sunshine. Then, one year, the weather remained gloomy and the pattern broke. My faith never did, but I realised early on, that God does not jump to the human tune. In ... More About: Easter

time for inner stillness
2009-04-10 17:55:00 Good Friday 10: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And so say I. And top of the pile is Tony Bliar (sic), he of the massive ego, where no doubt his next divine pronouncement will be that only he and he alone can cure the sick, the dying, the poor etc. Why ...

all quiet too quiet
2009-04-09 19:49:00 Thurs 9: Sometimes I wake up in a mild panic about work and sales, like this morning. The gloomy weather probably doesn?t help. I have also been remembering my dreams ? or rather that I have dreamt but with nothing to bring back to this awareness dimension. Except this morning. The overall sensation was also about ...

lunatics have taken over the asylum
2009-04-08 19:26:00 Wed 8: So now Tony Bliar (sic) is telling the Pope he?s wrong. What?s the betting he?s angling to take over the papacy, liar-style, invading countries and professing he?s guided by God. Stranger things have happened ? and we are living in most peculiar times. It?s like the holodeck programme has gone out of control ... More About: The Asylum , Asylum , Lunatics
art marketing dilemmas
2009-04-07 20:56:00 Tues 7: To sign or not to sign. To be honest, it never occurred to me to sign an artwork but I gather I must… although retrospective signing is frowned on in some quarters it seems. I never have and now feel I should ? which means a hefty task to add them to past work. ... More About: Marketing
individual in society
2009-04-06 22:00:00 Mon 6: Spiritually, this life is just an illusion. The problem is problems. They tend to substantiate, solidify and make real the unreal. Small wonder even those of us who subscribe to this belief have frequently detouring minds and souls. And, in Holy Week, the Dali Crucifixion, a framed print of which hangs in my bedroom, ...

another day another greedy MP
2009-04-05 21:25:00 Sun 5: Magnolia trees in full blossom are a sight to lift even a jaded soul. If I had a big garden, I?d create an orchard full of them. Meanwhile, I had an active hour or so in the garden pruning, trimming, raking and clearing a space for my small (very) vegetable patch. In fact, ...
surviving one thing or another
2009-04-04 21:30:00 Sat 4: Gardening duties start in mind. At least, for me. As we are not sorting BC till after the Easter break, I have some major gardening tasks to address: moving plants, raking gravel and digging. Lots of digging… in preparation for a small vegetable patch. As the weather is currently fine, I should ... More About: Thing

2009-04-03 21:37:00 Fri 3: For the last few days, it has felt like Ma never was. Daft, of course. But, since my adulthood, she was, for me, her own person, and not just my mother. In fact, more the former than the latter. Yet I have been missing the mother lately. However, the spiritual self has gone ... More About: Marketing , Opportunities

2009-04-02 21:44:00 Thurs 2: Argh! I am one of Icke’s reptilian invaders! Well if these small spine-shaped lumps on my forearm are anything to go by that is. Okay. Two hours on and having a serious de-clutter, I am still human. The little lumps have gone but I do have a small bruise. Probably from shelf-building or can ... More About: Room

2009-04-01 21:55:00 Wed 1: Bit too late for me, but it seems we will be able to rate GPs soon. Not sure if it is for individual doctors or the surgery as a whole. It would not be fair to tar an entire practice for the disinterest and lack of courtesy shown by one of their colleagues. ... More About: Cure

What? Messing me around with dates and times and then telling me he had ceased trading, was ill and then going on ...
