prospecting - a tedious human experience 2007-10-09 13:02:50 Tuesday 9 Unlike many Eastern mystics and gurus, I feel that being human is an important part of spiritual evolution, just not that important. Svami Purna, for example, writes that we should all easily live for 150 years, intimating that it is a failure of some kind to die any younger. To me, living that long [...] ...

so money is spiritual substance… 2007-10-08 13:35:29 Monday 8 Went to bed within a 24 hour period for a change last night and, unsurprisingly, woke up within my usual, early, timeframe. Sleeping soundly is one of those blessings I tend to take for granted. Even when I had truly horrendous financial problems, or yet another redundancy, I never had any trouble falling fast [...] ...

the harsh reality of a photograph 2007-10-07 11:42:24 Sunday 7 Actually, it was midnight before I even got in the bath, let alone washed my hair. That meant my usual Sunday morning ritual was completely kyboshed. It then took more time summoning up the will power to get up and do it than actually digging the hole for the broken glass. Am now planning [...] ...

digging a hole 2007-10-06 17:31:59 Saturday 6 Plans to upload art to M’s site, following her note, have gone to pot. I have just about finished cropping and colouring 27 panels and haven’t even started on the words. And the fingers on my right hand are really sore. I can understand why the more proficient artists use their tablets to draw [...] ...

(bad) memories of Poland 2007-10-05 07:23:23 Friday 5 - and a long post for a change Yesterday, grabbing a spot of lunch, and catching up with the news, I scribbled this on the back of my lunch receipt: “When a fly is about to die, it launches into manic activity, buzzing left and right, up and down. I don’t need to dig [...] ...

body dysmorphia - again 2007-10-04 11:03:20 Thursday 4 Sleep hours eventually catch up with you if you continue working way beyond your normal bedtime. Add a nostril or two of Vick and a long and deep night’s sleep is guaranteed. I didn’t even open my eyes till 08:30hrs this morning! Said nose was put out of joint in Worthing, this morning. I had [...] ...

did todd goldman worry about trade marks? 2007-10-03 10:51:03 Wednesday 3 Quite a while back, someone (who had not read them) queried the RRP of my Little Books. Since I had done my market research, and asked marketing people for advice, I wasn’t too concerned at his comment. When J told me she was surprised how much information was crammed into them, and that [...] ...

transplanted - cells and souls 2007-10-02 09:20:27 Tuesday 2 There were several reasons for setting up the Facebook HFC group. As well as a potential support mechanism and gossip shop (okay genteel chat room!), the idea was and is to hear of the wonderful work that others may be doing. Like Sister IK who is waiting for the authority to open an convent [...] ...

who got the common sense gene? 2007-10-01 11:43:32 Monday 1st There must be a requirement for the common sense gene to be removed in order to seek a position of power, and to thus change the lives of millions. Mostly for the worse. (Examples: roads, hospitals, education, housing and so forth) Public transport in Britain is a farce, yet the general idea is to get [...] ...

lightness of christening; darkness of surveillance 2007-09-30 14:47:56 Sunday 30 Despite an unexpected double-christening - J at three months had to share her moment with a little lad of around 18 months – there were a lot of familiar faces. The NandD may not be too pleased with me for saying this, but her several celebrations, as well as the sad time with Katie, [...] ...

bittersweet school reunions 2007-09-29 15:44:28 Saturday 29 With a few last minute cancellations, and not really know who was going to show up, I was prepared to be in a school reunion of one or three at most. In the event, it was an excellent turnout and, as agreed with all, the first of regular annual lunches at or around the [...] ...

stressed by Photoshop and reunions 2007-09-28 08:56:07 Friday 28 Being in love has always been so complicated.. not that I am, by the way. One of the brothers-in-law mentioned that I ought to get out more and meet people. Years ago, I made a decision to live in Hicksville so that I would not fall into problematic love affairs. Of course with an [...] ...

body hell 2007-09-27 10:37:43 Thursday 27 When family gets together en masse, it is impossible to have more than a five minute chat, briefly touching on things that matter on either side. Writing this blog, for example, matters to family if there is any criticism. However, as I explained, it is in effect a journey of the mind (mine), so [...] ...

when even baby cuddles are not enough 2007-09-26 15:33:00 Wednesday 26 The more intelligent the munchkin the more enjoyably exhausting they are, and that’s before you add a bunch of voluble adults. Exploring my home, toddler munchkin definitely kept me fit - and starving. We all wondered how some mothers manage with hordes of the little creatures. Even if you don’t mind them tipping things [...] ...

on a roll - up that hill 2007-09-25 08:11:20 Tuesday 25 “The creative urge and the final expiration are opposite aspects of the same process. The sex act has been called the ‘little death’ and so-called death itself has often been described as the ultimate pleasure.” So says Svami Purna. No, I don’t know why I felt the need to include that today. I dread E’s [...] ...
