The doctor says I am suffering from  allusions to poetry.So he put me on major tantrum tigers.
I’m an agnostic too.I  believe God is here sometimes.He’s a wave and a particle and very light.He comes and goes and he waves!
Meanwhile in the garden there is  a mass wisteria.It will be ok in a few weeks when we get cold blasts of air from somewhere forbidden.Not hell!
There is a big depression where we bury the vegetable peelings amongst other things like the dead.And   what the cat catches,
So we are  inflating the law.
The priest says my sins are mortal but not deadly.
I have been text-communicated by the Immigrant in the Vatican
I didn’t realise it was a sin to have sex when your husband has died.
No,I mean with someone else!
Is a vibrator sinful? Or is it  the folk who might use them?
Is it a sin to make them in a factory?If so the economy will slump…
It’s funny that Boots sell something that could  send us to hell for all eternity.I am not referring to their famous face cream though it does remove the top layer of the skin.It is however not enough for those who have cancer  especially if it is on your bum.
If Boots sell vibrators surely the Church must see it’s now the  norm and does not   use birth control which they still ban, so  t could be a gracious way of having sex without need to take the PILL.Still it does seems  odd  to imagine that you get married and you both have sex  using vibrators.Not quite a honeymoon especially if you take two vibrators.What, though, if the battery  goes flat?What if you forget your adapter for the plug? I suppose you could take it in turns!
It’s like food.We used to do that ourselves once.Now it’s sex.No worry about wasting the weekend in bed  whispering in each others ears though ,do rememeber not to use one  while driving up the M1.I know it’s boring but do you want to be on a video on Twitter? You do! Are you mad?
Remember  though that you might have an accident involving others.If you are suicidal, please jump off Beachy Head.Do not cause a traffic jam as you will most likely  be murdered.And murder is not suicide,is it?
You will have injured someone else and that is more unethical than using men ,women or vibrators for recreational purposes.I rest my taste.Or my vase.Or my  handbag… BTW is there a vibrator bag? If not, why not become self employed and start a new business… different  colours and so on.I have no idea about size  so an expandable fabrix might be good.
When it comes down to it why not enter a monastery? It’s less trouble

Part of the article:

“Of course, this is nothing new. What is Trumpism or Brexit now was the “Dreyfus Affair” for the French public in the late 1890s. Dreyfus was an artillery officer who was given a life sentence for treason in 1894. Half of French society defended him, pointing at the very weak evidence that supported this verdict, the other half attacked him and insisted he was guilty. While the Dreyfus Affair lasted, pro-Dreyfus and anti-Dreyfus people ended up at bitter loggerheads. Close friendships and even marriages broke up and some of the most prestigious salons split in two over it.

Sound familiar? The political divisions these days may be more obvious (you could not read someone’s political views on their Twitter feed at the end of the 19th century) but the poisonous atmosphere is the same. And this is where the author Marcel Proust, a supporter of Dreyfus, comes in.”

There was a question on Quora for ages asking if you can psychoanalyse yourself.Well, it seems unlikely to me.I think relaxing and speaking freely is hard to combine with the  attention needed  from another person who has no emotional stake in your life or actions or feelings

However you can by  careful observation notice qualities in yourself you were unaware of.{I don’t mean beginning to write poetry when 65 years old]
When someone hurts me I often seem to feel I have hurt them and I feel distressed.Yet if I write about something similar I realise I have done nothing to cause this and it is not I who need to apologise
Maybe I confuse myself with others..? Is this common?

I suppose I have found it worth thinking about. I can’t eliminate it but I can ask myself , who has done what here.Maybe I try to take the blame rather than think about whether this person is worth being friends with. That would be if it happened a lot.For we all do hurt each other now and then inevitably.But we can reduce it
And friends are friends
Is there a deeper meaning ? Have I failed to develop an ego?  If so. it is a bit late now!

 

 

 

You should not worry as much about what you do but rather about what you are.

People should not worry as much about what they do but rather about what they are. If they and their ways are good, then their deeds are radiant. If you are righteous, then what you do will also be righteous. We should not think that holiness is based on what we do but rather on what we are, for it is not our works which sanctify us but we who sanctify our works. Meister Eckhart

good will, 
εὐνοίας (eunoias)
Noun – Genitive Feminine Singular
Strong’s Greek 2133: Good-will, kindliness; enthusiasm. From the same as eunoeo; kindness; euphemistically, conjugal duty
as 

The face that was familiar is no more
Lost like butterflies  that wind destroys
And I sit alone by this closed door

From this anguish take me,I  implore
Hoping that my prayer will not annoy.
The face that was familiar is no more

All the years have vanished from  my store
With the empty future ,love destroyed
As I sit alone by this closed door

As days pass by, truth  and pain conjoin
Love is never evil but conveys
The face that was familiar is no more

With nature’s rhythm, we   touch on the benign
Loss and even sin are cast away
As I  decide to open this closed door

So I travel down the path  of each new day
Good will and acceptance come, I pray
The face that was familiar is no more.
Kindness, love and courage can restore.

I’d like to hide inside a cardboard box
To be protected from the world of  hurts
Where messages  come  both live and via text

I hear the clock and notice how it ticks
My life is going and my friends are curt
I’d like to hide inside a cardboard box

We travel on a ship which may be wrecked
We end up on the sea bed ,still alert
To messages   that come via  a text

Why do human hearts feel so attacked
When lovers leave  yet memories stll flirt
I’d like to crouch inside a cardboard box

Yet boxes are more vulnerable in fact
Unless they are our coffins  in the earth
No messages  could reach us via texts

 

To some ancient faith I may convert
After travelling through the sad desert
I’d like to hide   behind an iron fence
Yet love may come and end this great silence

Extract:

Developing in the 18th and 19th centuries among writers such as Jonathan Swift, John Ruskin and, especially, Matthew Arnold, cultural criticism as it is practiced today has significantly complicated older notions of culture, tradition and value. While Arnold believed in culture as a force of harmony and social change, cultural critics of the 20th century sought to extend and problematize such definitions. Theorists like Raymond Williams, Antonio Gramsci, and those connected with the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies in Birmingham, England—as well as French intellectuals such Louis Althusser and Michel Foucault—described culture not as a finished product but as a process that joined knowledge to interest and power.
