The mind inhabits every body cell
When we’re tense the mind is tense as well
Thoughts are strangled choked the mind is crazed
All our body cells this crush obey.
Suspicion narrows eyes. And purses lips.
As we tense, the mind itself will shrink
Turning violent, hearts attacked by pain
No good thoughts are nurtured by this strain
How can we relax and trust once more?
The war dead moan, the Jews scream, Ariel roars.
Feel the pain precisely, let it go
Warmer heart remember there’s no foe
Escalation
One of the most common characteristics of confrontational and hostile individuals is that they project their aggression to push your buttons and keep you off balance. By doing so, they create an advantage from which they can exploit your weaknesses.
If you are required to deal with a difficult individual, one of the most important rules of thumb to keep your cool. The less reactive you are to provocations, the more you can use your better judgment to handle the situation.
When you feel upset with or challenged by someone, before you say or do something you might later regret, take a deep breath and count slowly to ten. In many instances, by the time you reach ten, you would have regained composure, and figured out a better response to the issue, so that you can reduce, instead of exacerbate the problem. If you’re still upset after counting to ten, take a time out if possible, and revisit the issue after you calm down. If necessary, use phrases such as “this is not a good time for me to talk…,” or “let’s deal with this after we cool off…” to buy yourself time. By maintaining self-control, you leverage more power to manage the situation.
By the flowerbed Dad and I would talk
In 1952 he still could walk
We spent the afternoon in Willows Park
At least there were some sparrows if not larks.
He wore a jacket made of thinning tweed
He felt cold in summer hence the need
He smoked cheap cigarettes I love their smell
Though they killed you Daddy I know well.
I did not understand that God was frail
I prayed for you but all to no avail.
The Jews in Auschwitz must have prayed at first
Then singing Kaddish stumbled to their deaths
God cannot be judged though humans can
Each Jew was a real person like I am
Every living person is another world
In its Imagination Europe failed
But could Daddy have been saved for ten more years?
Does even the best neighbour really care?
Few will help us mourn the ones we lost
Their feeble hearts just cannot bear the cost
Am I a saint myself for I am frail
Hiding from the lightning and the hail
I’m going to give you medication now
To keep the sugar in your blood quite low
He fell, the War Memorial was, his doom
Broke his nose, not coming home
His eye bled and his brain
His cheekbone did complain
Oh, he’s never,never, coming home àgain.
In the ambulance they screamed
Whilst his blood congealed
He’s never never coming home àgain
They asked him could he count
Dying,I lament
God don’t mind dementia in the Saints
The sun appeared but now has left us here
With dull grey sky and trees as cruel as spears
We control our homes as best we can
But. Nature is a Force more strong than Man
Even in our bodies we feel pain
Thus evil is around us like a stain
Why does God all powerful not step in?
When children die,when wars begin again?
When every state has weapons for mass kills
Jesus dies with victims of our Will
We allowed the government our tax
So our evil to the worst is matched
The sun appeared but now has left us here
With dull grey sky and trees as cruel as spears
We control our homes as best we can

Be polite and do not kill your friend
Share your food with others every day
Do not gossip,spite is not profound
Share your sorrows and let comfort stay
Treat the poor respectfully and well
Do not steal a woman with a gun
The poor live close to God so there be still
Do not cause ill feelings hating men
It’s all about good manners I perceive
Do not spoil our sojourn with your greed
For three weeks I had a virus so could not exercise.I was concerned because my muscles are not in the ideal condition
I mentioned it to someone who said
But it’s not your fault
That is true but our muscles will get weaker if we don’t use them for ANY reason.Whether it is our fault or not
The body does not know why we don’t move It just reacts to how we use it
Oh for the happy days when we could fall over and get up again
With no injuries
When my love lies and break my woman’s heart
. When life seems grey and rocks bestrew my path
. Then, shall I my life of evil start
And on the world shall I bestow my wrath?
For I have love’s own child inside my soul
And I shall tend her till at last she’s whole
The fallacy of misplaced concreteness
A N Whitehead quote
God is not a statue we possess
Envy is invisible yet death
