A bereavement group that feeds one cake and jam
And  has no limit  on the years  one can attend
Will never  teach us  of the great I am

The Hebrews may have offered God a lamb
Human sacrifice  was thought to have been banned
By a bereavement group that fed folk  hake and spam

Instead of saying “Fuck” they said ” Goddamn”
Indeed they thought that was what he  had planned
Who  might teach us  of the great I am?

The Hebrews did not eat a great smoked ham
There were no pigs in Sinai,understand?
Nor bereavement groups that fed folk in the sand

They smoked clay pipes and drank diluted jam
What the fruit was, I  shan’t say  unbanned
As they taught man  of the great I am

Soon the Lord  will hold up his right hand
Ask  our pardon for the world he runs
For  a bereavement group that feeds  all cake and jam
May  drop a hint about  the great I am

I realised something true  this very day
My defences were so strong I never thought
All of us , like Jesus,  end  our Play

If we are religious we might pray
Or offer consolation where it’s sought
I realised  death is real  this sunny day

We play the lead  and do not wish to pay
We may be frenzied in our appetites
Denying we shall   die  in our own Play

The vital  integrative force   must fly
We fall to  pieces in  love’s golden  light
I realised  death is   happening every day

Our heads turn round, the vision to deny
As if the true will be a nasty sight
But that won’t  stop our death in our own Play

Live by giving enemies no slight
Kant’s imperative seems wise and right
My mind discovered on  this  cloudy day
All of us  will fall  in our own Play

Mary was sweeping the floor with her new Shark cordless electric carpet sweeper just replaced by Lakeland Plastics, that store beloved of British women.Emile was watching her from the lid of the old gramophone where he sat surveying the sitting room.
Leave that spider alone,he called to Mary
Why? she asked kindly,are you planning a date with it?
No,it’s a good thing to keep them as they may catch flies and other nasty things.
Mary turned and gazed at Emile.She was wearing some blue Tencel jeans and a bright pink top with embroidery round the neck.Her thoughtful face w as covered in Radiant Glow foundation as her friend Annie was trying to make her look more attractive to men.Which men was a puzzle as Mary liked to spend time alone or going out with her female colleagues to search for books on Dirac’s owl,Schrodinger’s cat or Godel’s ants.
Her male colleagues were mainly very conceited or shyer than rabbits brought up in the cliffs at Lyme Regis.
However Annie wanted Mary to marry again, as she saw her own vocation in life as being a mistress to a bright and intelligent retired man whose wife worked full time or was in the Library studying the Babylonian number system or other esoteric topics
.So she could help Mary and herself at the same time.
Shall we have a party,she chuckled to Mary as she came in through the ever unlocked back door.
What sort of party,Mary asked nervously.
I want you to meet some men,Annie reminded her.
I believe that like bombs falling on London in WW2,that if a man has your number on him he will find you,Mary teased.
Maybe your phone number,Annie retorted.Why don’t you get a spare mobile and I can put some posters with that number on the trees down the side roads saying you are looking for a new partner.
I thought I had made it clear that as some Orthodox Jews believe that Zion will only come when God wants it to do,so a man will turn up when it is God’s will.
That’s a bit much.Do you think you are God’s chosen person? Is God interested in finding you a new husband? Annie shouted.
Well,it may seem strange to you ,but even seeming trivia like me being married to some new man can have deep consequences for the whole world… a bit like the butterfly’s wings If I am happy it spreads around me and makes others happier too.Or if God wishes me to write a book and I need a man to cook for me then one will turn up,Mary responded in her low and musical Tyneside accent.
On the other hand, God may wish me to lead a contemplative life,she carried on.
Annie was puzzled.Why do you think God has all these plans for you,she enquired.
It’s not just me,said Mary.It’s everybody but that does lead into difficulties as we look at the world around us.Does God want all. these refugees to drown or for Britain to stay in the EU or leave and please Florenc Tonson? It reminded the women of their convent school classes where they had studied a simplified version of the writings of Aquinas and his proofs of the existence of God.
It was this book which had given Mary her first doubts about religion and, being somewhat dim in the tact department. she had shared her misgivings with the headmistress, who was not happy to be questioned even in front of mere school girls.
Emile,she cried,I wish I were a cat.My schooldays were so terrible
It’s your own fault, said Annie.I just pretended to believe it and kept quiet by fantasising about my new lingerie and how my boyfriend would like it
How remarkable it is that girls and boys can be so different in their personalities and ways of coping with puberty.

It was like a prison,Mary said.Still it made later life seem happier.
How did you afford new underwear so often,she asked Annie
I wore my mother’s! this dear friend informed her.
My mother didn’t have that sort of underwear,Mary told her.And see how something seemingly so trivial can affect one’s personal development so much.Still I was fed and allowed to study and play the piano and do my homework to the sound of Horace Wagner and Richard Straussbumt.
Did it help you to concentrate,Annie asked in a puzzled way.
No, it allowed my brother to dominate me and otherwise he might have hit me or knocked over the folding table where I kept my exercise books ,and pen ready to write essays on Twelfth Night and the periodic table.
Annie burst out laughing.Sorry,Mary,I am not laughing because you were bullied but it just sounded as if tables had periods,the way you said it.
Imagine how hard it was dealing with all that in a tiny house with the loo in the back yard.It was taboo so had to be concealed.When we went to Dublin for 2 weeks my three sisters and I all had our periods and we brought back all the blood stained cloths in our suitcases.Luckily the customs man did not look inside.
Was there nobody who could have burned them for you?
The landlady never mentioned it so neither did we.
No wonder I am so peculiar.
Well,I like you,said Annie.You are so kind and sympathetic and good to talk to.And you are always coming up with new ideas and interesting books.
I suppose we complement each other.Mary said shyly.Maybe we should get married and forget about men.
Annie’s eyes opened wide.
I think I’d better ring 999.she screamed.
And so say all of u

The Walberswick Ferry by my husband about 1999

Death and menace
Death at tennis
Wrath  and Denis
Rest in Venice
Oliver tossed
Oliver’s pissed
Tulliver’s cost
Rhyme and punishment
Time is punishment
Time for more nourishment
The four tarts let
The four  hearts  set
The chaste land
The  paste and copy land
The chaste hand
The chaste wand
The last stand
The blasted  band
Anna Darelina
Leaf Encounter
The thief encountered
Brighton sucks
Brighton sticks
Light  now fixed
Light my wicks
Pause here. [ in French]
The candle ends
The Canterbury Whales
The sixty lies of Henry 8th
The Deformation  of Europe
The world war  has now finished but the trauma’s ne’er done
The  good wife was loved
The good life  and love

From the sea, we see the land anew
We see  both  cities and the mountain tops
Far away, we note a different view

We stick to our routine as if by glue
What surprise, we find we’ve writers ‘block!
Sail far  from shore, to see this land  anew

Sea air  aids our minds  when   dead  thoughts stew
From the ocean we can see no clocks
Far away, we have a   timeless view

Then comes intuition with its clue
“Do not put your soul into the dock”
Glide far  from shore,  perceive the world anew

Then creative thoughts  in longing  queue
Or like the starling they will whirl  in flocks
From far away, we have a gentler view

New ideas are rarely found in books
All we have to do is  sense and look
From  the distance we see  wide and  real
From  far away, we see  new  worlds unveiled

“The most important quality among creative people, says Csikszentmilhalyi, is the ability to enjoy the process of creation for its own sake.

Ask yourself how you can create classrooms, workplaces, families, and healing environments that value and support the gifts that the creative people you know have to offer.”

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.

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.

Klingt wie Gott, sieht aus wie Gott.
Ist das ein Beweis?
QED

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!

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?
