Losing your head or your wits

This lady has lost her head

Did she also cut off her nose to spite her face?

No she can’t bare the site of blood.

Why ,is it private? .

She doesn’t know how to interpret mens eyes.

Oh those scandal eyes

What caused the scandal?

Why do you think there was a cause for it?

In any case I don’t understand how you can interpret someone’s eyes.

Well I’m speaking metaphorically

They can be dark looks, or they can seem to issue an invitation .

At times I have felt men’s eyes rolling all over my body.

Lucian Freud painting there

What about John the Baptist?

He had an air of je ne sais qua. Then he lost his head completely :unfortunate man.

I wonder how it was how people I could watch beheadings

Well they had no televisions and got bored frequently.

Have they never heard of sex?

What’s that?

Another theory Setiya challenges is the idea that happiness should be life’s primary pursuit. Instead, he argues that we should try to live well within our limits, even if this sometimes means acknowledging difficult truths. Happiness is a matter of definition; Setiya cites Tal Ben-Shahar, the Harvard professor and psychologist who writes about not only happiness but also the importance of accepting reality.

Rhythms of life

My old blue fountain pen allows
The ink across the page to flow

Like wet paint from the artist’s brush,

And words come in a rush.


Enchanted through the hand which writes,

Bewitched  by art, beauty alights.

The script is like a music score

Through which we pass as through a door.

Imagination’s home.






As,mysteriously.to you, to me,

The spirits of our hearts are tamed,

By rhythms of pen,of brush,of mind.

They enter vision quite unplanned,

Like moths to flutter softly round

Fire joined heart and hand.




The pen slows down,the hand goes still

And just as dreams at daybreak will,

They shrink,they disappear,they’re gone.

I almost caught that one
