By a lonely stone,I wept,for I knew
My hoping tool had gone
My soul was a widow
Whichj groaned
My whole being was on fire for
My whole had made him stare,yet
My soul reached doubt in the night
My soul looks for new insight,yet
My stomach was tied up with bots from the computer and I felt very queer
My tears fell like pain
My blundering sole fell out of the ftying pan….
No one undervalues tea
No one true love is perfect
She wore pearls strung on twine
To be or not to be a hand
38 Dishonest Tricks of Argument Thouless
I have got this book somewhere :Straight and Crooked Thinking by Robert Thouless and it’s very good….Logic is important but all sorts of tricks can be used to persuade us of viewpoint which may be untrue
This is a fascinating website too.. if you’d like to know more about the Hebrew alphabet and how crucial it is for it Christians to see the importance of the Hebrew Bible and to understand it…
And look out for my new book
Nerds of the Bible [smile]
with apologies to Solomon
No sight is like the rising of sun
When promises of dreams seem clear and still
My heart ,though pained,can fancy love has come
Without hard times and exercise of will.
No morning is without new dawn of hope
When all our conflicts shall be put aside.
Imagination is far flung in scope,
Never noting dreams may fraughtly lie.
No love is like my long lost love for you
Once known,once felt,it settles in the heart.
Yet I do believe love can be found anew
But only when the lost true love departs.
So bother me no more with reveried bliss.
Go leave me with my life,though all’s amiss
Stunning
Yesterday we were blessed with another beautiful, albeit cold, day. Time for a visit to the Ashridge Estate – a favourite area of protected woodland, close to Ivinghoe Beacon and Bluebell woods that have been familiar sites for posts on this blog in the past.
Beech Trees produce a beautiful palette of colours in Autumn, they are one of the most eye-catching of British trees. Yesterday I took images in my usual style – getting up-close to the individual leaves – as seen in the previous post. But today I’m going to show you something quite different.
I was struck by the way light was filtering through trees on the edge of the wood – vertical slices of bright coloured light interspersed between the dark trunks of the trees. I wanted to capture that panoramic sweep of the woodland.
But also at the taking stage I had something else in…

Too chaste?
That’s a bit personal..I know
Is there an ideal level of chastity?
Can one be 40 per cent chaste?
Are there grades of chastity?
Is there a test for chastity?
If not,why is that?
If there is,hide it!
Is chastity a good idea?
Or just an idea…
Too chaste for whom?
Such fab cartoons
In a capitalist society, I think it’s very easy for human emotions to get all out of whack because everyone’s your competitor.
This starts right from when you’re babies. Before their offspring can even shit without crying, parents are already trying to give their little pink pudgeballs a “competitive edge.” Even fetuses aren’t safe from the melodramatic ramblings of Germans in powdered wigs who arn’t fooling anybody (suck it, Mozart!)
What ends up being sculpted into the head of these new life creatures is not so much the overrated compositions of overgrown child piano prodigies (suck it, Mozart!), but rather these children are encumbered by a terrible competitive streak. This demon of Darwinism hangs on the shoulder of capitalists citizens like a very knowledgeable scientist who likes to start fights. I know this because I have one of my own. His provocations are unprovoked, loud, and never appropriate.

“When making a decision of minor importance, I have always found it advantageous to consider all the pros and cons. In vital matters, however, such as the choice of a mate or a profession, the decision should come from the unconscious, from somewhere within ourselves. In the important decisions of personal life, we should be governed, I think, by the deep inner needs of our nature.” | |

Looking over my life in books I see my instincts drew me with certainty to certain author/thinkers
The Psalms…King David
Bible stories.
T.S.Elliot
I see I’ve not found many women on this journey… they were too busy childbearing I suppose.
And I think of myself as neither male nor female.I am just me… a unique being.

When I was fifteen or so, my mother waded through the sea of clothes, books, school work and teenage flotsam and jetsam that covered my floor, and sat on the edge of my bed with tears in her eyes. I had to clean up, she said. It was really important that I get the room sorted. I made some excuse, but she cast her eyes downwards, subtly wiping a tear from the corner.
“I had a friend who never cleaned up. Every time you went into her house, the house was a complete bomb site. She had junk all over every surface. And she ended up in Ward 12B.”
Ward 12B, for those who never had the chance to go there, was the mental health ward at the old Canberra Hospital. So apparently, Mum believed that mess drove you mad and that cleaning was protective. It’s a particularly amusing little…

This is a very good article about Doris Lessing from the Washington Post in 1994
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/10455589/Doris-Lessing-Obituary.html
One of the best writers ever died today.Doris Lessing had a long and intriguing life as a child in Iran and Rhodesia and an adult on England
If like me you get hooked on philosophy the NYT has many intriguing articles such has this one.
Is it the case that atheism will damage our morals or those of our children?Can you have morals without religion?Ethics may or may not need a religious base.Now Bible reading is diminishing is that leading to trouble?
Since I came upon the work of Levinas I have found his writing interesting even though tough for me to understand,,
I just found this useful list of references to him and in case you are interested you can take a look
And it came to pass that they ate their dinner
and that she did washeth up.
And she did leave the dishes to drain
Whilst she put on the washing machine.
and the man was very pleased.
And it further came to pass
that she gave the man some pudding
and he was more pleased.
And then it came to pass the he fell asleep
By the fire.
And the Lord God,said
who is this man that sleepeth by his fire?
And He said,I shall waken him up
And the man awoke,
And God spake unto him
How is it that the woman laboureth in ye kitchen.
And that thou sleepeth here in an armchair.
And the man said,
But Thou didst order women to labour.
And the Lord God said unto the man
Why dost thou remember so selectively what I have said?
And the man said,
I knoweth not and therefore I will help this woman.
And the Lord God said,
Why dost thou not think of it thyself?
And the man said in reply,
It was Thou that made me,O God.
And the Lord God was displeased with the man.
so he called down a plague of butterflies
To prevent him from sleeping.
And when the woman came in
she was much pleased to see these butterflies
and so she fell onto the man
And he did make love unto her.
And the cat was very pleased.
For it thrilled a cat to watch humans loving
and gave him hope
That the Lord God would take his rib and make a mate for him.
And indeed it doth seem to have happened
Judging by all the cats staring in ye old window here;
And by their ecstatic yelps
That the Lord God was very generous with them
and made them many mates.
For truly there is no jealousy among them
And they mate freely and happily
and never have rows about the washing up..
as they eat straight from the can.Amen
Here endeth today’s lesson.
Be thou kind to thy mate always
Elena,a baby wrapped in her woollen clothes,
On the last train,Warsaw to Moscow,
[ change Niegoreloje.]
1939.Father,mother,brother
You passed through the Arctic Wastes of life.
Still as if travellng on a train
To an impossibly far destination.
As you left the German Army crashed into Poland
Lost,your aunts
Your cousins.
Your culture.
How does God select the damned?
Later,you had your own baby,here in England,
Not lost like all those others.
Your father died by his own hand,
The hand of history;
The fingers twitching,
Not sure where to point.
Then settling into frozen grief
A sculpture only your mother saw.
You saw too,Elena.
You always saw,though you can’t remember;
The long journey,your mother’s breast,
Your father’s silence.
Only the dead know that silence.
Only the dead weep
With the rocks and stones .
And the ice in each eye
Fell like snow down your cheeks
As you held your own infant.
Warsaw to Moscow,
Moscow to Jerusalem.
Always journeying
Looking for what they can never find:
The home they left behind
The presence of the dead
Lying in gaunt heaps
Like rubbish
Your aunts, Elena.
Your cousins.
You never knew them.
But there’s a hole in your mind
Through which the Polish wind blows for ever.
If God felt like getting absolution
that’s one drawback to his position
that the priest would not know how to cope
with the very notion
Hello,I’m God,Father.
Oh,you’re with the Mafia,then
I am with everyone
That’s noble.Any sins
I made a grave error.
You don’t have to worry.We all do it.
But I’m God!
If you say so.
I made a man from earth.Then I made a woman.
That’s very wise under the Equal Opportunites Legislation
Then they bred.
Well,surely no one blames you?
I do.
Are you unwell?Shall I call an ambulance?
What for?
To take you to the Asylum.
So you think I’m an asylum seeker?
Well,you don’t look British!
It’s enough to drive me mad.
You are mad.
How come?
You think you are God
I am God.
Do you have any identity card?
That’s rich!who’d give me one?The Pope?
Well,they say,see Rome and die.
I never die.I’m immortal
Well,I absolve you and your penance is to forget yourself
Wham,shudder,bang,bump
Everything is on fire
Lord have mercy.
I’m thinking about it.
Be English!
English… what a joke!I am black.
So am I!
Black And British.. or Black and Foreign
Is God a Foreigner?
Definitely!

Being careful one
loses one’s balance,
Not to please.
Being
Carefully loses.
Not one’s balance?
Please!
Not being careful loses one’s balance.
Please?
Please not!
Being balanced
One loses care.
Pleasing care,
Loses one’s balance.
No?
No pleasing care!
Balance losing full up tonight.
Full of balance
One loses cares.
Thank you.
Please.
Balance please!
Care is not losing.
I don’t want to lose you.
Please balance your cares.
By the lake a huge flock of pigeons rose from the trees and circled in precise and moving geometry whilst simultaneously many sea gulls which had been floating on the windblown water arose and formed concentric whirling music in the sky.We stood still on the grass in the deep silence, absorbing the colors,shapes and murmurings.Just a normal day in the country park but I am sure of one thing:
Birds can see God
Keep off the lass
Keep off the spawn.
Do not wash the cat whilst wearing.
Please talk in single style
Catholic must remain waste until ferried and done for.
Do not iron yourself whilst swearing.
Please wean yourself off the grass.
Do not bleat and talk simultaneously.
Flocks in pastures keep back sliding
Pests in the Lord.
Do not gnash your wreaths whilst smoking.
Please cut out the spire if needful,
Please bait graciously.
No balking on the Sabbath
No needles are told here
Non feet eaters please tell the most
