7 Keith Park Road, RAF Uxbridge. Funny how some addresses remain imprinted in the brain. Good for him - that the Battle of Britain pilot will now have six months on a plinth in Trafalgar Square. Sunny weather and sunny attitude suddenly, but fleetingly, become veiled in sadness quite often these days. And there are ...

If art speaks one’s inner mind, these are two finished pieces. The Avenging Deity came first. Followed by Spiritual Flowering. Now I have to figure out how to paint the drifting my soul seems to feel so often.

life between lives
2009-11-03 19:43:00
Having had far too many experiences of life continuing after death, I am an unshakeable believer. What I have less time for are the army of ?mediums with messages?. I used to see so many about all sorts of standard issue topics. God knows why I went back to see two or three of them ...

traditions
2009-11-02 23:10:00
This morning, a Twit labelled me ?ignorant? because I tweeted my dislike of burning an effigy of the Pope. To me, burning effigies of any soul is a rather repulsive tradition. Burning a symbol of a religion, any religion, is, in my opinion, incitement to hatred at worst and religious intolerance at best, although it?s ...

letting go of the dead
2009-11-01 18:33:00
The raw emotions of dealing with the estates of loved ones tend to burst through at unusual moments. Yesterday, after food shopping, I got some big plastic containers for my bedding and towels. They had been overflowing in the airing cupboard, so it was an overdue task. In Focus, one of the plastic containers fell off ...

just another day
2009-10-30 22:13:00
Fri 30: Out like a light at 9pm last night. Slept 10 hours. Must have needed the rest. Not that I did more today than normal. Mark you, my slumber was not totally uninterrupted. I was startled awake at 02:45hrs but don?t know why. Then I dreamed I was escaping from a research hospital with ...

alarm

Wed 28: The alarm clock function on mobiles is great ? except when you think you have disabled it and it still wakes you up at 05:45am. Two days in a row. Can barely keep my eyes open. For two days in a row. And I wanted to tell you about Southend being an unexpected delight ...

Tues 27: Just got chatted up by youngish bloke on my doorstep. Not a door to door salesman! Apparently he ran over a black cat and was knocking on all local doors to find the owner. Of course, when he said ?black cat?, I replied ?oh goody?, thinking it was Old Nicky, followed swiftly by a ...

progress of sorts
2009-10-26 20:03:00
Mon 26: Shifting boxes to the garage on return from the newsagent yesterday, followed immediately by some branch pruning, was perhaps not so wise pre-breakfast. A pinched nerve in my left pelvis plagued me all day, making me walk like a really old OAP. Ditto most of today. Not that it stopped me from doing a ...

great work

Sat 24: Speed cameras obviously deter no-one these days. I left the Ladder Club seminar (on greetings card publishing) slightly early and still didn?t get home till after 8pm. Meanwhile, cars were driving up to my bumper, barely missing me as they overtook, flashing and generally making me drive even slower as darkness fell. Still didn?t ...

tolerance
2009-10-21 20:47:00
Wed 21: An interesting theme, self-awareness, was spoiled by the excitability of presenter Marcus du Sautoy without sufficient explanation. Television presenting is not training, I realise that, so the normal rules for imparting information don?t apply. That said, he could have been more scientifically informative about how circuits are programmed to receive information and could ...

Tues 20: After Shriver?s article in the Guardian yesterday, I also spotted an interesting piece in the Daily Mail about Wills. Perhaps a touch of synchronicity given the current situation? On the plus side, communication is renewed and, with a fair wind, all should be done and dusted soon enough. Please God? I am paying lip ...

emotional complexities of inheritance
2009-10-19 17:57:00
Mon 19: The Jan Moir palaver made me dig out some reference material on same sex relationships that I had written about in an issue of Floreo NEWS. Except, annoyingly, all the links have gone. The gist of that scientific research (which I can?t remember much about now) was that species become same sex (as ...

reliving the past
2009-10-18 20:57:00
Sun 18: The long haul to the West Country on Friday got off to a lousy start with a four car pile up at the Tangmere roundabout. I then got absolutely awful cramps in first my left foot and then the right one, meaning I had to keep stopping so I didn’t crash the car. Putting the heater on, arrow down, did the trick but it meant driving with the window open so I didn’t fall asleep and also crash the car. Mark you, driving past Aylesbeare definitely woke up the olfactories! Silage is never going to please my nose but this bit smelt like a particularly vile nappy. Got to BC desperate for a cup of coffee but got some grumping which thankfully did not last that long but was not the start I would have liked. Lack of adequate communication meant I did not realise the skip was now on, as was a potential buyer. However, both were welcome though it meant any clearing had to wait till the potential buyers had gone. Sorting family items means keeping emotions on hold otherwise nothing woul...

Thurs 15: Dreaming of excrement (not mine!) is a mixed blessing. It symbolises money but there is an element of ?filthy lucre? too. As indeed was the case in the dream. Not only did I step in it ? on a carpet, in a hospital (visiting someone else), but it kept appearing in different areas… ...

Wed 14: Still aching from the drawing portraits? course yesterday. There was one point when the pain of tensed muscles was so great I nearly threw up. Needless to say, driving back was a bit of a concern as I was struggling to stay awake. But, thank God, I got back safely. Some possible good news ...

Mon 12: Much bonnier today although tensions from so many things vying for mind space: BC offer (who? is 17th still on? what about HIP? etc); meetings, courses and other externals to prepare for; faltering confidence in skills. While having great admiration for those who can draw and paint in photo-realistic style, even if I could, ...

Sun 11: The BNP doesn?t seem to understand its own agenda. They don?t want non-whites here because it would homogenise the indigenous, and they do not want minorities dictating to the ?white? majority. Yet it is currently ?white? Eastern Europeans who are doing the dictating and changing the character of the country. So why just ...

Freud?s view of tunnels, for example, is entirely predictable, while Dee is more in tune with my perspective. That it relates to the subconscious. Also on the esoteric: One of my more unusual skills is being ...

reality
2009-10-06 21:18:00
and illusion Tues 6: Night-time reality crossing over into day-time reality is a mixed pleasure. On the one hand, there is a warmth and freedom, despite the nature of some dreams. On the other, recall sits in the back of one’s mind, demanding more attention. So it shall have it. For ten minutes. I don’t really recall my dreams much these days. However, last night’s dream quite clearly carried forward from two previous ones, the first of which was a few weeks ago. In that earlier dream, I had attended a course and parked my car some (walking) distance away, down a side street of a pleasant market town. A tall, rather grubby, but friendly workman came out and told me where to park so that my car (my current Honda Civic) was not damaged as they worked. I can’t be accurate but a subsequent dream related to the course or at least going to the college where it was held. Walking there was the key element. Last night’s episode started in the college car park, late in the evening, ...

spiritual paradox
2009-10-05 20:50:00
Coaching paradox Mon 5: The paradox of coaching is that, all too often, courses tend to be aimed at turning the coachee into a coach. So, generalising, someone who has taken a course because of personal issues, then sets up in business to advise and guide others. Leaving aside issues of transference, learning from someone who ...

diverting attention

Pain avoidance tactics Sun 4: Head throbbing all day but diverted by Margaret Rutherford film. In fact, so diverted I did a Wikipedia and found she and her husband had adopted a man in his twenties, who then went on to have a gender change. Nothing to grab me with that. Then I read he/she ...

survival of the weakest
2009-10-03 22:37:00
Irish backing down Sat 3: Fascination with survival of the fittest, in spiritual terms, continues because science has yet to give credence to the compassion gene, which is now wildly out of control. A quick glimpse of some headlines is proof enough. Those who care and make an effort to create harmony are regularly penalised while ...

tooth pause

Mon 21: Great intentions and work flow interrupted by veneer falling off tooth. It took nearly an hour of calls before I could find a dentist who would see me soon. Actually, one I saw three years ago. Very good too, local as well ? but very expensive. Still, needs must. All this physicality ? ...

illogic ageing

Sun 20: If cells are constantly seeking expression, and life forms to subsist on, why do unwanted cells thrive on ageing human sentients? I?m specifically thinking of naevi and cancer cells ? although both do grow on younger bodies too. It just seems as if older bodies attract more growths and some superfluous-to-need yuk stuff ...

nose and illusory nose

Thurs 17: Strange feeling re nose, following the blister/clot the other week, meant registering with a doctor suddenly became important. There are some times when it is best to be safe than sorry. Plus the continuing dryness was also drying out my spirit. The first one I rang (yesterday), in Rustington, said I was outside their ...

Tues 15: What is truth?

Without wanting to ...
