Charisma should not sway us too much.
But we are over-impressed by its touch.
We ignore the unassuming
Charm is confusing.
We must not consent to its clutch.
And people of this type have power.
As compliments cover us in a shower.
Be your own judge of self;
Thus keep your own mental health.
For each of us is like a sweet flower.

Is democracy as common as muck?
Is it vulgar to title books F*ck?
For again in the bookshop
I happened to look up
In spirituality that F book is back.
I complained about it four years ago.

Please forgive me if I don’t reply to comments in the next few days.My doctor phoned and I have still got a UTI after 7 weeks.At this rate I’ll have a free Xmas in hospital,maybe just by where His Majesty passed on.I do think he was very selfish dying like that and if I go I shall tell him so.However I am determined to live as I have just got a new washing machine. installed.
Alfred has been in the kitchen and knocked over the bin as there was a bit of chicken in it.Then he refused to go out via the cat flap.What a nerve!
When true love’s gone and doom hangs over head
When life flows like my blood unto the sea
Then shall I take new lovers to my bed?
And with their carnal touch consoled be?
When my love lies and breaks my woman’s heart.
When life seems grey and rocks bestrew my path.
Then, shall I my life of evil start?
And on this world shall I bestow my wrath?
When true love lies and wrecks all loyalty.
When puzzlement makes all my world seem mad.
Then I shall upend causality
And make myself do deeds which make all glad.
For I have love’s sweet child inside my soul
And I shall tend her till at last she’s whole.
Why can we not choose our personal god?
And worship them in private in our hearts.
Thus we would not be struck with their gold rod.
Authoritarian rules would play no part.
I think it is an error for gods link
A people and the earth and all the good.
And every newborn child would have to think
As if not part of tree nor its dear bud.
A common God might link us all in love.
Yet Inquisitions tortured reviled Jews.
Surely that was not from God above,
Who gave to Eve and Adam power to choose.
Why Christ himself was not a Christian.
And when God spoke he merely said,I am.

Ontology ‘s got no image for me
It’s a word that is linked to the verb “be”
but in science and statistics
and engine ballistics
We never discussed life’s latency.
I had seen the ” ontological proof”
That God must exist in all truth
But up on ‘t moors wild;
Nature undefiled.
God’s face was sad,bold yet couth.
Until we met Aquinas in class
I believed in both God and the Mass.
But when I saw they were trying
To prove he was spying
Out of that church I soon passed.
My reasons were never obscure
Of God I am still perfectly sure.
But the theologians proof
could never lead to truth.
For their axioms unproved were impure

A wonderful bird is the Vertigo
Its head goes where its toes should go.
So if it is swollen
We could take it bowling.
For it goes where no other birds go.
From dictionary.com
[ver-tij–uh-neez] (Show IPA).Pathology.
1.
With mountain warfare I get vertigo and parachuting I get vertigo.

One night when I went to bed I was feeling very sad.I had got my kindle and looked here at my blog.After a few moments I burst out laughing.But it seems odd to me because if I wrote it then I would not get a surprise.I wonder if it comes from a part of the mind we ar not in touch with when doing chores or watching TV because it makes me laugh till I cry sometimes.
I also wonder if some of the things I write are quite childish like games I once played with my brother and sister collecting the names of shops and their owners.I remember a sweet shop owned by the Towels.We thought it was hilarious.And so maybe my writing is like that some of the time or I am breaking some rule or crossing a boundary.They say laughter is good for the immune system so I shall Carry On.But if you hate it leave it.I don’t mind at all
This reminded me of when I was very thin.I was on some drugs for arthritis.It did warn that one ingredient could cause miscarriages but it never crossed my mind they could cause diarrhea.Because it was not every day,it was about every week or two.When I changed to another drug it went better but I got fatter.
.After various experiences I do think that many of our feelings and thoughts are caused by biological factors.In 2002 I felt I was losing my mind.I kept phoning the water company we get our water from to ask whether the drains were blocked.They were really nice.I was completely and instantly cured after being diagnosed with an under-active thyroid gland. The low thyroid seemed to magnify my reactions,so my slightly damaging a new window frame made me sob with agonising grief.That makes me wonder how many people with so called mental disorders have got a physical disease.And in our NHS now ,they check less and waste money on wrong treatments.So if you go for day surgery ask them to listen to your heart.They won’t unless you ask.[As with my husband: he was seriously ill but the GP had not noticed or checked]
When you are far, so far away,
The longest night,
The shortest day,
will be places where I might die.
The heart’s interior, no-one else can view.
When you are lost, I cannot find your face…
Its outline on the pillows,
My fingers shaped to trace.
The new design, the stellar rhyme,
Where have you gone?
You slipped out of my arms.
You slipped away
Was night or day
Ever cut by such a narrow line?
In your embrace I lay.
You seemed so strong.
Yet,sighing, took the path away.
I can’t see to where
Is it night? Or is it day..?
I tried to write to bring more light,.
It’s dark, and still.
I long for your return
Oh,will we ever quite
Find out the way?
Or is that an illusion?
As we stagger through
the wandering furrows in the fields
They shoot us down.
What is this confusion?
The war goes on
The world goes round
The mirror gapes at each new clown
In cracked earth, a seed may grow.
But you are gone and will not know.
Will not to know
1.When you think of what to wear to bed,remember Cherie Blair’s nightie… on her first day in number 10?
So,always wear nightclothes in which you can open the door without revealing all.How about cutting two holes in a sleeping bag for your feet? Then you would need less bedding and would be ready for any early bird delivering your Amazon order of Sylvia Plath’s Letters or enough shampoo to last for a year.The only drawback is your partner might object.So how about a long fleece nightgown over a silk petticoat?Get a dressing gown with a tie belt not a zip.Or keep a big towel by the door.
2.You only live once so live longer by wearing safe clothing…. make sure it is possible to move in it as on the whole we move especially in the day time.Don’t wear lycra underwear as it’s bad for the skin… of the lycra which is a lovely animal that lives in Malaysia in the jungle.
Frozen Lycra
3. For economy you might wear the new clothes your late partner left behind.I find woollen vests over a nightdress look strange but are really warm and some cotton singlets are long enough to be mini dresses..if dyed they look stunning.So I believe and I can’t see into the long mirror so I will carry on regardless.For men it’s more difficult unless you wear a dress in bed and inform the postman you are transgender.It hs nothing to do with him anyway but you might be lucky.
4 If you wear too many layers you will look fatter.
5 If you wear leggings wear a tunic or your boyfriend’s pyjama jacket.If you are a man wear trousers!
6.Wear long boots so if you have no socks you will still be warm.Wear some clothes as well.
7 If your tights fall down don’t fall over.It’s Fall
8 Get used to pockets.. wear a man’s jacket.But remember if caught you may go to jail.
9 Wear a wig and cut down hairdresser’s bills.You may need to convert to Judaism but there may be advantages.Like men do all the praying and also a little preying too.God made men that way.And don’t they love it!
10 Hats are very warm but spoil one’s hairstyle.Try cutting off all your hair at the socket and that will solve it and cure depression too.Free shocks!
11 That’s all I can think of apart from emigrating
Be well conducted
A wife can pass so soon.We may never forget.
A lifetime doesn’t seem like it when you are living from day to day.
Think of all the water you have passed in your life!
When I lived by by the moors near Darwen we passed a reservoir every day and now the whole place is flooded.
We never went out with out a mac and I’m talking real plastic here.Not cards..
Never pass a lavatory by.
Never go to bed with someone who’s not got a name you can’t pronounce wrongly in a dire emergency.
Logic is useful in such an emergency… what sort I have not yet discovered.
Life is like a bed of nettles… it takes your mind off your pain but gives you a false sense of intensity and can scratch.
Does our belief make the Lord God exist?
Do killings make our minds resist?
The evidence is nebulous
The Bishop is incredulous.
Yet in his job he will , without doubt, persist.
Six million dead gypsies and Jews
Did not cause him to question his views.
But he once lived in Paris
And so he is harassed
By the recent and ominous news.
In a similar fashion might I say,
God doesn’t exist ,though I prayed.
My husband has died
And my sister beside.
So my thoughts about God are well,grave.
If God does exist ,he is there
Regardless of how we each fare.
As far as the nebulae are
Further is he by far.
But to say he is dead,I don’t care.
“A dazzling image of Messier 17, a reddish nebula 5,500 light-years from Earth, provides a detailed view of its newborn stars, gas clouds and dust.” — Sindya N. Bhanoo, The New York Times, 28 Sept. 2015
The trees stretch silver branches In the late November sun , The robin perched there watches As we offer him our crumbs. The elegance of shapes laid bare Forgives the winter cold. And slantwise sunrays clearly Light the embers of my soul. Soon the pale white moon will come To drive the sun away. So let us open wide our eyes To see this winter day. Peacefully the world rotates, Unknowing of our fate.
How my heart sings
