Be off or I’ll follow your blog everywhere

 

 

coloured woodsDoctor,I have got this awful feeling

What is it?

I feel someone is following me all day

I told you not to start blogging.How many followers have you got?

About 120.And I am following myself too.

Why did you follow yourself?

To see where I was going to.

And where was it?

I  went to the bathroom.

Did you follow yourself in?

I waited outside.

That was very wise.

So why do I feel odd?

I can’t say.I’ll have to follow you too to see what I can discover.What’s the name of your blog?

How my heart speaks

That is an error.Hearts don’t speak.

It’s a metaphor.

Your trouble is you are too brilliant.You need to become dumb like the rest us

Now,that “dumb” is a metaphor.

Well,l’ll be blowed.I never knew I spoke in metaphors.I am thrilled

See… how do you feel?

Be off or I’ll follow your blog! I want to remain ignorant to all higher thinking

Call yourself a doctor?

No,I’m the technician.The doctor is sick

Well,whadda you know!The doctor is sick

He’s only human

Only human?

He’s not superman.

I don’t want superman following me.

But anybody can follow you.

What a mess.I’ll unfollow myself now and get some peace

Criticising dogs

Dogs! Who wants them?They can’t talk,they can’t cook,they can’t wash up.They can’t wash themselves properly so have to be groomed by somebody else.Aw.dogs!Who wants a dog?They can’t even make the bed though happy to sleep on it.There’s saying.Let sleeping dogs lie .So they can’t even tell the truth. but why let them lie?Is the truth too disturbing?But at least they don’t smoke…. or do they?I have my suspicions but no proof as yet.Maybe they smoke in the bath?

Honesty from Doris Lessing

Doris Lessing

“Sometimes I dislike women, I dislike us all, because of our capacity for not-thinking when it suits us; we choose not to think when we are reaching our for happiness.”
― Doris Lessing, The Golden Note

Levinas’ Ethics

“Levinas derives the primacy of his ethics from the experience of the encounter with the Other. For Levinas, the irreducible relation, the epiphany, of the face-to-face, the encounter with another, is a privileged phenomenon in which the other person’s proximity and distance are both strongly felt. “The Other precisely reveals himself in his alterity not in a shock negating the I, but as the primordial phenomenon of gentleness.”[3]. At the same time, the revelation of the face makes a demand, this demand is before one can express, or know one’s freedom, to affirm or deny.[4] One instantly recognizes the transcendence and heteronomy of the Other”

This is from the article in the previous post for those who are unable to read the whole piece/

I feel this is the heart of what he expresses

I looked up Levinas’s life

I found quite a good  short  account of the main outlines of Levinas’ life and work here.How very ironic he studied with Heidegger.His ideas seem very different from the philosophy I have studied before.I am well read but have only just heard of him when reading about Peter Lomas.I feel he may be very important in this world we now dwell in.I am unsure if I can understand his writing but have ordered a book by colin Davis

When you teased me so

Maybe you didn’t know

When you teased me so.

Maybe you never knew

What your words would do.

I float across that space

Where lovers once embraced.

And thus you  bring torment

To me whom love  you sent.

When we close our eyes

Our daytime face then dies.

We look across dark seas

To sacramental trees.

My dreams are full of loss.

Is night or day the worse?

When I return next here

Will love outstrip your fear?

I gaze upon your face,

Forbidden to embrace.

My arms ache deep inside,

As if in agony tied.

Torn apart by grief.

Love is now a thief.

Where has God’s face gone

As brightly shines the sun?

The pains of life are sharp,

Cutting through the heart.

But still we turn towards love,

With all the strength we have.

Trusting in the dark,

Trusting my own heart.

I step into the void.

Love can’t be denied

Go,Francine,go!
