Well, how about greed and lust ?
I have felt very angry with a man but I didn’t hurt him
Well,Father,I can’t think of anything else
How about adultery?
No I am not married
Telling lies?
No,I am unable to do that.
Well, how about greed and lust ?
OK I am ready
For your penance, go to bed with someone lonely.Like me
That’s a sin.
Yes, it will make your next Confession easier
I don’t think this is quite how it used to be,but I will give it a go
Another lapsed Catholic brought into the fold
Is that the one in your sheet
Get away, you harlot
Thank you so much.No-one has ever called me that before.
You’re never too old to be a harlot
That’s what they all say.
Do you believe it?
I don’t even know what it is

Pulchritudo
De hospitali est optimus locus pro te mori.
Nutrices, ita concinnum ac passeres, lignumque cucurrit huc atque illuc
In Himalayas cumque operiretur vestibus non calefiebat
Aliquamdiu secuti sunt vobis
Mundus et MUNDUS.
Nam tribus horis
Et sacri profanique Secetur
Auferat a te dictaque flumen musicorum
Et tu de nostro mundo missa amni
Princeps vocem meam audiunt parvulis.
As vestri sum cogitavi in lavare
Seu bibere facere vobis in culina;
Et matrem tuam, ut bene.
Et tenentur in bono et mater acerba suos puerum viventem
Quis bonus Salutis condum promum
Et coxit panes: et cum te ludere ludos patrem.
Nonne scitis quod factum est?
Puto et volo me ad auxilium tu mihi fecistis.
Auxilium te?
Quam paulo ante auditorium congregentur.
Nunc habemus, nihil attinet, serventur cappellanum nominare absentis detulisset
Abest etiam ab sacerdos.
Et cum ad eum .... autem ludus similis, non esset verum.
Voceque, et despiciens Deus tamquam diceret ei
Quia vigilabo ego tibi circa, sed non videbis me.
Quantum itaque amoris in oculis vestris ...
Quid ego autem et gaudere oportebat?
Et erit tristis et ... .sed fecimus.
Is sin a sin?

Art by Katherine 2018
Mary was looking for a belt as her newish heather coloured trousers were much too big.
Suppose they fall off in church, she wondered.Why,I must have lost weight!
Now, her mind said, you are not going to church.
Well, she replied,you never know what I might do on a whim.
You can’t change me,her mind answered.
Am I schizophrenic,Mary thought?
No, her mind said, you are in touch with our unconscious
Mary decided to wear the trousers anyway topped with a blue silk top and pair of navy blue suede Mary Janes. She poured a jug of cold water over her head as she felt too hot.Then she picked up Good Housekeeping from the chair where her friend ~Annie had left it.
“What to wear over 50” it said.
Over 50 what?Woollen vests,fifty jumpers or 50 denier underwear?
The clothes were astoundingly expensive.Shoes £250,skirt £381.Top £560.
Well,Mary thought,I’ll just have to wear my old clothes.Anyway, they looks better than these; they are trendy but too obvious.
She rang Annie.
Oh, cried Annie,I thought it was Stan!
I know Stan was your lover,Mary said, but he is dead
Sometimes I forget,Annie replied.
Me too,cried Mary.Are you coming with me to Church?
We never go to Church,said Annie
Well, may be it would be a good idea to see what its like nowadays Mary muttered
Will we need hats?
No, you can go in pyjamas and trainers now!
That’s not very nice.Though God won’t mind,I am sure.After all, we were born nude,Annie said in a thoughtful tone
Don’t tell me you want to go to Church nude,Mary whispered
No,I am too fat and ugly now,Annie murmured
You are not ugly, to me .Mary said
Don’t tell me you are bisexual ,said Annie.
Everyone seems to be heading that way.Mary informed her
It’s just a cult,Annie cried
Do you mean occult?
I don’t know what I mean.I open my mouth and sentences come out
Not death sentences,Mary teased her
BTW I didn’t like that magazine.You can take it away.
Well,I will take it to church to read during the sermon,Annie decided
Things are more liberal now but reading Good Housekeeping in church is not right unless it is on your phone,Mary said.
Why is it alright on your phone? Annie said mulishly
Because it might be a sin but you are not corrupting others.That is another sin
Why,I’ve not heard the word “sin” for many years,Annie pondered
No, but sin still exists.You only have to look at the Middle East to know that.Or the Yemen, the USA, the UK.,Mary said saucily
Original sin is what we are born into in our society, so you might have been born in white South Africa and if you are white you are immediately going to pick up attitudes of a racist nature.And if you were black you would be oppressed by empathy with your parent’s oppression and grow up feeling inferior and maybe angry
And in England? Annie asked
Let’s not even go there! Mary replied
But we are there! Annie told her
It’s just a saying, a cliche and a funny expression
Can”t we be more original ? Annie asked in desperation
We could if we decided to make the world just and fair,feed all the children and close the armaments factories and the companies who make instruments of torture.And get rid of the tabloid press
A hard job,Annie said sadly
Well, the longest journey begins with the first step!
What an original idea!
And so pray all of us.
A wider focus
The first poet was the one who found us new
Perceptions without wish to change what’s seen
With wider focus, showing different views
Mostly we see what we wish to do
A goal, a task, expectation not a dream
The first poet was the one who saw anew
And having started kept their minds unglued
So played around in sunlight’s broader beams
A wider focus shows us different views
Life can be a wider avenue
Like rivers are combined from little streams
The first poet was the one who saw anew
To narrow is to do what Satan knew
To follow just one path to an extreme
A wider focus shows us many views
The poet shall not judge nor ever blame
All the bored who cast off their deep shame
For poets are the ones who find the new,
With wider focus, welcoming such views

Isosceles in German
Was ist der Binomialsatz?
Würde es Ihnen etwas ausmachen, Englisch zu sprechen, Sir?
Was ist ein gleichschenkliges Dreieck?
Ich werde nicht einmal dorthin gehen. Bist du verrückt?
Was ist Aleph null?
Meinst du wer ist aleph null? Töne wie ein Einwanderer aus Israel ohne Geld.
Aber Israel ist nicht einmal in der EU, warum sollten sie hierher kommen?
Sie wollen wissen, wie die anderen 99,5% leben
Klingt wie Gott für mich.
Klingt wie Gott, sieht aus wie Gott.
Ist das ein Beweis?
QED
Was ist Aleph?
Der Bruder von Aleph null!
Was ist Aleph?
Kennst du dich nicht, Herr?
Es ist Hebräisch.
Und Epsilon auch für dich

Aber welcher?

my poem in hand writing


Now we will learn about transcendental numbers
Today we are studying topology
It must be brief.
And rubber
Ooh, you are rude, aren’t you
Look, this is not a crossword puzzle
No, but you are.You get cross and we puzzle
What about the words?
Just hum today.
Now we will learn about transcendental numbers
You may speak but we may not learn
Why, is it forbidden
No,we are just thick
Well,my IQ is only 65 yet I got a maths degree
Where from?
You can’t buy them.
That’s what they all say
I am a moron, you are a moron, they are morons
What about us?
You are an imbecile.
I’m not even French
Why have got that letter in your hand?
It’s a refernce from my tutor.”This boy is so stupid he can’t even spell Feck off and he has never heard of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Well E is not U
Are they The twins on Coronation Street
For God’s sake,read the Bible.
Will he be pleased?
No, but it will stop you talking so much.
Are you one?

My own photo
What is the binomial theorem?
Do you mind speaking English,Sir
What is an isosceles triangle?
I won’t even go there.Are you mad?
What is aleph null?
Do you mean who is aleph null.Sounds like an immigrant from Israel with no money.
But Israel is not even in the EU!Why would they come here?
They want to know how the other 99.5% live
Sounds like God to me.
Sounds like God,looks like God.
Is that a proof
QED
What is aleph one?
The brother of aleph null!
What is aleph?
Do you not know yourself,sir?
It’s Hebrew.
And epsilon to you too
That’s Greek.
That shows we are all one
But which One?
Aleph, of course,
Do you mean Ralph? Beowolf?
Gamma off it.
Ooh, what a posh accent.
No more personal remarks , thank you.
I don’t mind
Well you have no mind to mind with!
When the cost of love is hard to teach
Is love worth the savage pain of grief
As the caterpillar gnaws the patient leaf?
Is love worth deformed and broken hearts?
When will come acceptance,pain depart?
Is love worth the pain and woe we feel
When illness from the wife her husband steals?
Is love real and what is its intent
Do we read the messages we’re sent?
Should we live indifferent ,grey, unreached
Is the cost of love too hard to teach
Is love given or taken by a war?
Who are all those walls and bombs made for?
Should we remain invulnerable to touch
When love’s an attitude and not a crutch?
Who can be called a poet?
https://magmapoetry.com/title-of-poet/
“What Do You Think?
Should we restrict the title of ‘poet’ to a few, mainly dead, poets? Not so much as a mark of respect, but as a political act, a symbol of what we believe has value?”
I’m in deep and it’s over my head
I’m in deep now, never been this deep before
The world’s hollow like a shell and I’m out its door.
In so deep, the ocean has its own startled floor.
I’m down, down. down. never been so dark , so more
I can’t rightly tell how I got where I am
I think I had an accident, fell over, then I swam.
Sometimes it’s a loss, be times it’s my man.
I guess I have to stay till my time is done
I don’t know if the joy is worth the pain
Would I choose to relive it, if I was born again?
The dark joy is the amazing gain.
But the sorrow is damn sad, let’s admit it plain.
I’m in deep and it’s over my head
What was I thinking of, when I fell out of that bed?
I look up and the sea’s so turquoise like that mist is red
When we get good and mad and wish some loon was dead.
At first, it was all just black, black pain
But from the bottom of the well, I looked up with awed love again.
That’s when I recalled, feelings are plain and sane.
Joy is much greater when we’re in the danger zone.
I dunno if I’m ever comin’ out.
We can’t control it , ain’t that what life’s all about?
I’ll never love with innocence again ,nor not feel doubt.
But I’m no teapot and the devil ain’t got my spout.
I’m swimming and the ocean’s so mysteriously bright
Down here we don’t have no day nor no night
Fish nudge me with big grins and teeth white
Sea flowers fondle me and whisper, turn off that light
Rage
A force far deeper than our anger
Elemental as a storm
Annihilating all before it
Terror makes our rage deform
This force, thinking self is threatened,
Runs to rise and to protect,
Most murderous when we’re most alarmed
Rage an enemy detects.
Over-riding other feelings
Depriving of the power to think
Like a nuclear tsunami
Disconnecting human links.
Reddened vision ,focused ,narrow;
Eyes locked onto enemy’s
All the wider context losing,
Wipes out our good memories
Like a mother tiger fighting,
And the cornered eagle’s force;
We will destroy what we think other
Without bitter ,pained remorse.
Nature made such to protect us;
Yet our perception can be wrong.
Once the flood of feeling takes us
All reflections seems too long
Later, if we see our victims,
Will we know that we have erred?
For hate deceives ourselves and others
When our inmost terror’s bared.
How can we step back and ponder
See life from a wider view?
How can we become less blinded,
So we see our world anew?
Succumb not to final despond
Succumb not black despair.
Often there are those who see.
Often there are those that care.
Tempered by reflective wisdom
Rage can change when understood.
When we find another being
Who helps contain our frightful flood.
The energy that binds us into one
The energy that binds our parts to one
The creation of the world and then of man
The energy of all our nuclear bombs
The sacred space inside, the very womb
The space where we will die and fall to earth
The sins we hid inside , our dangerous worth
The heart which came too hard and cracked and bust
The little pieces left that turned to dust.
The hunter lusts to shoot and kill and eat
The bodies of gnawed wolves around his feet
The men who save no children shatter peace
The eyes of Jesus speak, the drum still beats
The end is the beginning as we move
In spirals that say nothing of our Love
My man
Il Trovatore
The lark ascending
This is the most popular piece of classical music in the UK
Psalm 104
Pie Jesu
Where’s your passport, where’s your alibi?
Where’s your passport, where’s your alibi
Murder has been done and there’s a War
I’m the Lamb of God and he’s my Pa.
All the angels gave a gulping sigh
Jesus ,don’t go back, you go too far
Where’s your passport, where’s your alibi
Even Satan seemed annoyed and jarred
Take away those leaders and their Whores
There’s the Lamb of God and his old Pa.
What’s my crime ,sweet Jesus, should I lie?
The Market’s bust and you are going to die.
Where’s your passport, where’s your alibi?
We had a powerful sacrifice bizarre
We killed God and then we wore his Stars.
Where’s the Lamb of God,oh,ahaha!
The world is reddened by the blood of man
On the nursery slopes, this War began
Where’s your passport, where’s your alibi
I was the Lamb of God but where’s my Pa?
No still, small voice, no Burning Bush, no God
No still, small voice, no Burning Bush, no God
No symbols of transcendence,no shared rites
How to die without a psalm or prayer
How to smile the last time in your life
No Joseph with his many coloured coat
No Moses in his basket in the reeds
No Sodom,No Gomorra, that’s a joke
As that is where our path now seems to lead
No journey through the deserts of the heart
No Faith, no aims,no others by our side
Where did you think the images would part?
No holy meal,no connections and no guide
No images of angels decorate
No steeples will point up to Heavenly dreams
God has left us to our sorry state
Oh, Europe, you’ve destroyed with wars and schemes
No sacred symbols but a heart of stone
For we are nothing more than flesh and bone
The spaces once held sacred are destroyed
The spaces once held sacred are destroyed
Like Salisbury plain where sheep could safely graze
Now for soldiers use and practice Wars
The Bedouin who inhabit deserts cry
The Negev is no longer a free space
The places for creation are destroyed
Before the birth of Christ, they wandered by
Their little tents and camels no disgrace
Deserts are for democratic ‘Wars
To shepherds and their flocks we say,Good bye.
The land is used for shooting, so debased
The places for creation are destroyed
The Lamb of God is fined and unemployed
Search for peace, be treated with distaste
Deserts are for practising new ‘Wars
Of the Spirit, is there any trace
As the Lord God turns away his Face?
The spaces once held sacred are destroyed
Now for soldiers use and final Wars
Guilt and guilt and shame
http://www.skylightto.com/interviews/dr-donald-carveth-guilt/
Beginning:
David Hare’s critically-acclaimed 1999 play Skylight tells the story of Tom and Kyra, reunited several years after the painful end of their secret love affair. Both struggle against guilt, and their parallel torments are manifested in ways that reflect their diametrically-opposed political worldviews. A 2015 Broadway production starring Bill Nighy and Carey Mulligan was nominated for seven Tony awards, suggesting that audiences are still connecting with this narrative about the destructive consequences of guilt.
In fact, guilt and shame are hot topics all over these days: researcher and author Dr. Brené Brown gave a brilliant TED Talk on vulnerability, in which she describes her own experiences with shame. With over 25 million views, Brown’s is one of the top-5 TED Talks of all time. Brown’s view is that, “there is a profound difference between shame and guilt. I believe that guilt is adaptive and helpful – it’s holding something we’ve done, or failed to do, up against our values and feeling psychological discomfort. I define shame as the intensely painful belief that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love and belonging. I don’t believe shame is helpful or productive. In fact, I think shame is much more likely to be the source of destructive, hurtful behavior.”
It’s arguable that Toronto’s resident expert on guilt is Dr. Donald L. Carveth, Emeritus Professor of Sociology and Social and Political Thought at York University, registered psychotherapist, and author of “The Still Small Voice; Psychoanalytic Reflections on Guilt and Conscience.” Don views Skylight as a skilled study of the effects of guilt.
I sat down with Don to discuss the play, literally on his comfortable therapy couch. He occupied his own seat of analysis, a sturdy armchair tucked, appropriately, below a large portrait of Freud.
Nicole Stamp: Don, how do guilt and shame figure into your practice?
Donald L. Carveth: Majorly! I wrote the book because the themes of guilt and shame just became so central to the work that I do with patients. With symptoms like anxiety, panic attacks, and depression, often people are directing aggression at themselves because they feel guilty about something that they may not even consciously know they’re guilty about.
Do you identify a difference between guilt and shame?
Yes I do. There are two main types of guilt: The first is punitive guilt, in which “I’m whipping myself”, and that’s almost indistinguishable from shame, which is a narcissistic emotion. In shame, my mind is entirely on myself. We often think of selfishness or narcissism as focusing on “how great I am” but it’s equally narcissistic to be going on all the time about how terrible you are. Shame is self-persecution. It’s a horrible feeling. You beat yourself up, and once in a while, in order to stop beating yourself up, you beat somebody else up- that’s the scapegoat mechanism. When I’m depressed, my superego has me in its crosshairs, but if I can shift someone else into its crosshairs: “That guy over there is the sinner, let’s attack him instead of attacking me.” People can get relief from depression by targeting somebody else. All of this is destructive guilt.
But there’s another kind of guilt altogether, which is reparative guilt: your mind is not on yourself, it’s on the person you’ve injured. The move into reparative guilt is a move out of narcissism. We get our minds off ourselves long enough to actually see the harm we’ve done to others, and to be concerned about them, and to want to do something to make it right.
The example I use is, “I’ve injured someone, and he’s bleeding in the corner. With persecutory guilt or shame, I’m flagellating, I’m such a terrible person.” But that’s useless to the guy who’s bleeding. If I put down the cat-o-nine tails, go get the first aid kit, and start bandaging- that’s reparative guilt.
