Men! I’m not saying that there aren’t bad women or other genders, but even so the words war and men seem to be synonymous. You want an empire to prove something that baffles the rest of the race? Start a war. Prove your strength and that you’re to be respected. Fear is not respect. YouContinueContinue reading “Clarence: On War and Big Weapons”

Depends
How do you celebrate holidays? I don’t celebrate any holidays. Christmas isn’t the same when your family are gone. It’s also not the same when you’ve done it 67 times. I think it’s also too commercial now. As a kid I knew how lucky I was to get a present because I’d had to doContinueContinue reading “Depends”
Banana Cake Doorstop
Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail. Nothing like this but I love flamingos I used to make a very nice banana cake. On one very odd occasion I made one, got it out of the oven, let it cool. My then brother-in-law had popped round, really nice guy, still think of himContinueContinue reading “Banana Cake Doorstop”
My Right to Feel
Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. What I feel. I always thought I was wrong when I was actually always right for me. All decisions must be internal. Take advice yes, but ultimately stand or fall by your own choices, and you will be far more likely to stand. It’sContinueContinue reading “My Right to Feel”
Simple Meditation

AlwaysContinueContinue reading “Simple Meditation”

The Story of Modern UK Society
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin… Society was nice. Now it’s not. Be nicer. Prisons are full because people commit crimes. Just stop it. Whatever your personal justification, it’s a lie. The British used to be a nation known for its decency. We need that back please. Casual killing has become a thing inContinueContinue reading “The Story of Modern UK Society”
Rarely
How often do you walk or run? I live in a perfectly beautiful part of the country, but sadly it’s very flat and the walks in my particular locality are boring. Flat paths, same trees, backs of houses. You have to drive about 30 minutes to find a decent hill, the kind that we hadContinueContinue reading “Rarely”
Yes
Do you see yourself as a leader? But I don’t care either way, I’m also a good team player. I often avoid team work though because many people are not. I prefer to take the lead because I’m very much a born helper, I want people around me to thrive and feel good. I knowContinueContinue reading “Yes”
Love
What’s your favorite word? Inclusive love for all living things. For people like me the rainbow is a reminder that this world is light, beautiful light. Love extends to everything including the entire planet. To everyone. Nothing bad can exist within love. Criminals who could truly love would never be able to commit a crimeContinueContinue reading “Love”
