Many years ago my father used to sing to my baby sister. Sadly i she has no memory of him at all

I see the shape of Pendle Hill ahead.

To this eerie hillside I’ve been

led

Hear they burned the witches in their rage

How far is hell from this this forsaken place?

Yet its shape still stirs me, it’s my home.

I might be a witch on here to roam

The River Ribble is a mighty flood

Flowing down the Pennines as one would

But if there were no gravity we’d see

Rivers running up into the trees.

The oceans would dry up or flood the land

Science is so hard to understand

So let’s just play some music on this Hill

Let’s dance and sing for if you won’t hat I will

No-one ever told me grief was fear
Or did they speak but I refused to hear?
Like cancer, blindness,  suicide and hate
The words  describe the folk of foreign states.

Vigilant and wary as we weep
We feel the loss of God and then our sleep
The world  no longer has a solid  floor
The foot is hesitant, the head is more.

The rudeness of  old friends can hurt like knives
They rush to tell you, you are no-one’s wife.
Though we know we  must meet God alone
The status of our soul is overthrown.

And yet we  see new visions and new ways
Lying with the worms,as beetles gaze

Too happy too sad,we fall down

No more an actor or clown.

Be moderate in lust

The world is not just

If you climbed up too high then get down

I cannot live without your love so dear.

I stretch my arm but you are nowhere near

My hand finds only emptiness at night.

I am afraid till I switch on the light

Once I saw you lying by my side

I forgot just then that you’d already died.

The knives are sharpened they will cut my heart

I can live without it and my charts

I am going nowhere I am stuck

Is this fate or is it just bad luck?

United Kingdom means that England fought wars against Scotland and Ireland and Wales

Instead of making these countries independent they were linked together into one country. The United Kingdom that is why King Charles has visited the three other countries since he became king.

Given the history in food in the 20th century it’s not surprising that there is a lot of animosity towards. the English

The British isles consist of Tesco’s, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons. Westminster Cathedral and York Minster even though Yorkshire was once ruled by the Danes

Your social class consists of all the people that you call your friends and acquaintances.

And your social class needs work to keep it alive we call that working class. Upper class is a way of referring to to your friends that have died who are now in heaven waiting for you.

You don’t have to do anything you will become upper class when you die.

It is a sin to be born out of Wedlock. I think it’s in Shropshire because there is some music called

On Wenlock Edge.

Dear teacher Jonah was swallowed by a whale. during the night So he can’t come to school today the RSPCA are looking for the whale.

I live in the. United Kingdom if you can call this a life.

The Queen dies and nobody expresses surprise that we have a woman prime minister.

Noone labelled rishi sunak l as a Pakistani (that is a derogatory term used by racists who attack people from Asia not necessarily from Pakistan m)

So maybe we are all used to the idea it’s not only white people who can become members of parliament or prime minister.

And the general public have not talked about it so I think we are no getting used to the fact that we are are a multicultural society

And a multi-coloured society.

And a multi gendered society

We’ve always been a multi aged society but now it’s broader that it used to be as we live longer

And we are a multi sized society

I will let you look at my art even though it’s not very good

Because it might encourage you you to go to an art class

You appreciate much more what you see when you have tried to do it yourself.

A family doctor used to be a friend.

Now no doctor has an ear to bend

They don’t know how my artery contracts

Now their heads are empty of all facts

Soon we will have robots there instead

I wonder can I buy one for my bed?

I think that metal would not be so kind

A metal husband makes a woman blind

What about vibrators are they good?

I will only love one made of wood.

A plastic world would last for far too long

Worlds are so much better when we sing

At night we dream of of men whom we might kiss

Eyes are bad when old don’t let them miss.

In the end we must all this confess.

Only God can laugh at all this mess

The problem as you grow older is, how do you let somebody close who’s basically a total stranger?” he said. “Nature came up with a trick: It’s called attraction. Sexual attraction brings down all the barriers, lets you get close to a new person in a physical way that you don’t get close to your family.”Over time, of course, this physical connection wanes. While many bemoan this loss of titillation, Dr. Levine celebrates it. “It’s smart,” he said.

Now working on a new study of how estrangement affects grief, Dr. Pillemer sees among those studied “unfinished business” and “bereavement-related regrets.” “They have more complicated grief,” he said in an interview. His advice, when possible, is to consider reconciliation, especially if death is expected or imminent, asking the question: “Will I feel better if I do this?” He said “anticipated regret” is very common. “People talked about it a lot. Will I miss the chance to reconnect?”

For Harriet Brown,

According to the Oxford English dictionary, the word “hear” is defined as “perceive with the ear the sound made by (someone or something),” whereas the word “listen” is defined as “make an effort to hear something; be alert and ready to hear somethin

How can we accept the pain of loss

The love that filled the heart now emptiness.

The future is destroyed before it’s here

I did not know how grief brought with it fear.

Indifferent to our suffering life goes on

The Heart will split it is no longer one.

Half will go with you you and half will stay.

How can I find God, how can I pray?

I can’t see you in this little world

Only coral and the deep drowned pearls

Trauma is real, and can result in real disorders, though its meaning is ever-evolving. The DSM-5, the standard in American psychiatric diagnosis, currently defines it as “actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence,” either as a victim or a witness. Growing attention to the term has pushed forth a larger acknowledgment of the indirect and long-lasting consequences of violence, certainly overdue in American culture.

Some who study trauma, however, say current cultural references to the word have become a mess of tongue-in-cheek and casual mentions, mixed with serious confessions and interrogations of the past — of definitional misunderstandings and the absurd and the trivial and the profound

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/31/opinion/caravan-hate-speech-bowers-sayoc.html

Exposure to hate speech can increase prejudice, as a series of Polish studies confirmed last year. It can also desensitize individuals to verbal aggression, in part because it normalizes what is usually socially condemned behavior.

You are going to do something creative. So how do you get ready? You are hoping for some new ideas some connections.

Well suppose you are going to bake a cake the first thing that you do is what?

You have to clear a space on your work surface or table to put you your baking bowl and you have to make sure the oven is empty

The very first thing you must do is to wash up in case the cake tin all the bowls you need all there being soaked and there’s no room for anything else so you wash up up.and put these things away and now you have a space in which you can set about creating the cake of your dreams

Supposing do you want to paint a picture or write a poem.

Our mind is full of ideas,of people we’ve just seen or a unfulfilled desires thoughts about food clothing who knows jealousy envy love

Well you can’t create when your mind is full like that.

That is what Marion Milner discovered that if she said

I am nothing I have nothing I want nothing

This freed her from the buzzing cloud of flies inside my head. And then thoughts and ideas from the deeper parts of the mind can come into the consciousness.

She calls this the gesture of

Inner Poverty.

By giving up for a time all the things that occupy our thoughts we create some space for new ideas.

I can’t guarantee that they will be any good but there’s a good chance of it if we follow up a little ideas with some hard work.

I think it might be rather like the desireless that is part of Buddhism.

Saying I am nothing is not self derogatory. Nobody is nothing o and if you believe in God you will believe that everybody has a soul equal two other people’s in the eyes and God regardless of your wealth or status. It’s it’s moving away from constant occupation with egocentric concerns which can impede perception.

Because these concerns are a barrier to our vision.

This is just one way of looking at perception and creativity

Don’t get ill on the 19th of September because your doctor has apparently been given permission to close when he’s already been closed for 2 days over the weekend. Remember that a lot of people will be drinking heavily and therefore there will be crowds of people at accident and emergency. Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to 0 come to London for the Queen’s funeral I am sure there will be accidents in London and other places

Most, like Nouriel Roubini of New York University, issued warnings in informal notes. But Mr. Godley “was the most scientific in the sense of having a formal model,” Dr. Bezemer said.

It was far from a first for Mr. Godley. In January 2000, the Council of Economic Advisers for President Bill Clinton hailed a still “youthful-looking and vigorous” expansion. That March, Mr. Godley and L. Randall Wray of the University of Missouri-Kansas City derided it, declaring, “Goldilocks is doomed.” Within days, the Nasdaq stock market peaked, heralding the end of the dot-com bubble.

Why does a model matter? It explicitly details an economist’s thinking, Dr. Bezemer says. Other economists can use it. They cannot so easily clone intuition.

Mr. Godley was relatively obscure in the United States. He was better known in his native Britain — The Times of London called him “the most insightful macroeconomic forecaster of his generation” — though often as a renegade.

The book from which I took the previous passage or should I say the passages on the previous post it’s cold

An experiment in leisure

By Marion milner

Marion milner also published a very important book for artists and others

On not being able to paint

The first book She wrote was

A life of one’s own

I found this book very very important to me throughout my life

But some friends of mine don’t like it so I would say it’s well worth looking at these books.

From the book, an experiment in leisure by Marion Milner

I will post the details later.

hardly knew where to begin in trying to explore them. My first thought was, is it possible that by embracing inner poverty one could escape from the fear of actual poverty, of loss of friends or reputation or livelihood? Echoes of this theme, even from my childhood, began to crowd in on me. In Kipling’s Jungle Book I had especially loved the story of the Miracle of Purun Bhagat, a king who set aside his riches and embraced poverty, wandering with a
