Something to say? Then say it
The last couple of weeks I have been lucky enough to escape some of the banality of my working life with refreshing and intellectual qualities. It’s been excellent, I always tire of hearing phrases like ‘oh that’s a bit heavy for a (INSERT DAY) morning/lunchtime/afternoon/night (delete as appropriate).’ Who sets the agenda of what should be discussed and when? As intelligent (well mostly) adul…
Martin Luther King and Love
I have been thinking about love. It’s been inspired by watching a documentary on Martin Luther King. It was focusing on the idea of him as a prophet and the importance of his religion to him and in his speeches. A few things struck me;
1) was how eerily recent his life and struggle was

And now the evening, where I can make my dreams come true and I’m too jaded, too tired to do much …
Inspired art inspired by art
I only signed up yesterday and after wrestling the computer back from my wife since she has been infatuated by the site too, I’ve spent the last hour just looking at peoples work. I’m guilty in so much as I haven’t been looking at the writing which seems a little off as that is my main reason for being here in the first place. I can’t help myself though.
