I've #traveled quite far here and there uphill downhill swam in seas warm as toast spoken foreign words flown cruised trained walked climbed fallen oh no I forgot that fall on Skye lucky I didn't die spring almost ice axe held me I was sixteen or so sliding to the rocks below hold hold #vss365

I started explaining to Madge what a #taper was she looked intent a taper is a large herbivorous mammal similar in shape to a pig and inhabit the forests of South and Central America, SE Asia they weigh hundreds of pounds they are related to horses and rhinos you're clever she said #vss365

what is a #mile exactly I asked Mr Phillips the Physics teacher a mile he said is a unit of length based on 5280 feet or 1760 yards Imperial it's 1.609344km Metric a mile is roughly equivalent to a Roman Mile I began to imagine Legions of Roman Soldiers marching singing in Latin #vss365

WB Yeats

#doubt follows me about today in this moment waiting for a miracle to happen we watched a film together but a tragedy next door overtook us so we got texts explaining it all and all we can do is offer comfort in times like these and death can come so swiftly and you can't explain it #vss365

what is #commitment I say to myself when the World has gone mad you still see people as your brothers and sisters and pray they may be happy well at peace and free from suffering It wasn't like that yesterday we had an argument about cleaning the house she was over the hump I can do better #vss365

It's best to #follow I've found let the leaders lead I was in a situation where someone was bossing me about instead of rising to the bait I stopped and said what do you want me to do next she laughed I've had my share of leading it's not easy dealing with life's traumas supporting #vss365

grueling dueling #fueling that's all the ueling words I said to Madge dueling grueling fueling see what I did there Madge you're a walking encyclopedia she said sarcastically and so School Days were over Madge married Rodger a mechanic from down South they had two boys me I never... #vss365

I sometimes get #nervous usually when multiple demands are made of me at the same time I was playing chess today rapid and I just didn't see the mate I had example 2 I was registering my debit card online at the same time Amazon delivers and the soup is boiling over are you like that #vss365

well I worked for the same organisation for at least 31 years and I was #trained in everything it was like being in the Scouts I got a badge for everything then the organisation found money to train me to degree level BSc, BA dip this dip that until I became completely useless shame #vss365

#sneakers creepers what a pair of jokers freakers ghosters halloweeners creakers beakers what a pair of seamers I said to Madge It was not my best move you are a freak she said and walked off enter left my school in the 60's before University It never happened did it just a fantasy #vss365

is life just a #lottery I asked Madge from the day you're born you scream and shout to get your own way 8 billion on Earth screaming and shouting but when you are at peace breathing in breathing out you realise there is no magic bullet no lottery only now profound Madge I said #vss365

I tend to pray a lot to obviate the #unexpected I was unsure of this meeting today I thought there may be tensions my prayers were answered it went smoothly I prayed for my friend not to die but he died but it was expected wasn't it he had a terrible disease some ghastly brain thing #vss365

my life seems to be going to funerals now like some keeper of the Underworld like Charon the #dead are still lying before me on my boat upon the Acheron I can't say where I'm taking them because ... I don't carry a scythe or wear a suit just rags I'm usually begging you must have seen me #vss365

I'm not really know for my #bravery but I'm getting better doing readings in Church made me feel nervous but with studying Tai Chi I began to relax in stressful situations in Chess I felt nervous playing on the Internet because I feared losing now I love it I try my best 50:50 score #vss365

I remember those first albums Simon & Garfunkel Bob Dylan Neil Diamond Joni Mitchell but Paul Simon's Sound of Silence was a favourite Hello darkness my old friend captured my adolescent longings as I would sit watching the rain fall thinking life was so unfair looking for someone #vss365

as a scientist (he laughs to himself because I was the worst scientist imaginable!) I had to learn the Greek alphabet I did this with ease while still at School then the real Science started time for a quick exit #delta is the fourth letter in that alphabet it's used to symbolise change.. #vss365

I've noticed the #calm the last few days the great calm I've been doing a lot of Chinese exercise and reading obscure Tibetan texts unfortunately my chess has not improved and I suffered defeat yesterday to an American but yes the calm is here and the Sun is beginning to rise #vss365

the #quake didn't seem big at first but who would have thought the aliens could shape shift as giant spiders and appear from the many fissures or were they aliens that's what our propaganda said but hey there were symbols on them that looked more foreign than alien our city fell #vss365

I've been with the #siren a few times blues and twos when you're ill you're out of it as the paramedics do their stuff and the docs await you with your score you realise this procedure can kill you I hear myself saying no problem go ahead my arms black and blue searching for that... #vss365

well I just have to face up to my #sin for we all sin even saints I suppose that sulky look those wandering eyes that soft touch and so it goes we pray to be led out of sin or for our sins to be forgiven we meditate that all beings be free of suffering and be happy it's a big job big #vss365

I had relations who were very kind to me I had a #bequest after they died when young of course I bought a sports car but they would have liked that maybe I remember my father's aunt also bought me my first chess set how I loved it I still play on the internet win some lose some 50/50 #vss365

we are all connected in subtle ways even our thoughts have consequences like some huge fungus we populate our earth no man is an #island Donne wrote but he was speaking in the broader sence of mankind I was telling Madge this getting enervated I lost you at we are all connected no #vss365

I had friends when I was young who had small #sailing boats they would invite me to sail with them the cold North sea didn't bother me then now brrrrr but then we would drag a boat into the sea thigh deep but it didn't seem too cold then happy days with my good friends where are they #vss365

I'm reading the lyrics of songs Madge it's #Hurricane I'm trying to improve my English oh Bob Dylan she said the modern man's Shakespeare I could tell she was being sarcastic Pistol shots ring... I began to sing I prefer the earlier Dylan when his eyes were bluer than robin eggs she said #vss365

we all want a safe #harbour to moor our boats but times they are troubled and changing who to trust who to fear that's the question I was delivering leaflets about our Church nobody's interested just the old and sick hoping for a miracle and maybe they are still happening look he's here #vss365

well the fruit loaf at the coffee morning was sufficiently #luring for me I visited my friend in Hospital who has a brain tumour I got discounted scones at the coffee morning I was talking about and he seemed pleased with them his chemotherapy is not agreeing with him we talked I listened #vss365

she was like a high #mountain quite daunting when you first met her but with proper foresight and application she was really quite nice I met her in a beach in Italy one crazy hot summer so hot the road tar melted I was 20 or 19 she wrote me one letter we could only speak French badly #vss365

we can imagine our obscuring thoughts floating like #clouds across the beautiful pale blue sky that is our mind what car will I buy that hamburger looks nice that was definitely a look I got and so on they float and pass we are aware of them but we don't cling to them breathe in out #vss365

I always found #hugs hard I think it was growing up on a farm my formative years may have deprived me of hugs and yet I'm sure that isn't the case I am the unreliable witness to my own life! yet hugs seem a mystery to me yet I give and receive they give me comfort when times are hard #vss365

there will be no #reprieve on death row nobody can do anything life is over when the crime began or even when the thought of the crime began the defence lawyers will try everything to overturn the verdict and the Governor will be called but the lethal syringe is prepared pray and watch #vss365

nirvana is just a state of mind where all obstacles are cleared away a sort of #purification so Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche says in Dzogchen when all has been overcome we find ourselves in a state of total prescence what do you think Madge but she was already asleep #vss365

so I ask Madge what does #renounce well she says re means to repeat and nounce Is almost announce so it means repeating announcement hello hello hello for example thanks Madge I said you are clever #vss365

I remember learning to #read I remember a lot of things like holding my arms out for up first memory a chocolate bar wrapper in my pram but all those different sensory inputs are there somewhere aren't the learning to walk potty training and that blue sky in my head where'd it go #vss365

we should try to #nurture all humanity and all sentient and non sentient things anyhow that's the vision in reality we pass it on to something else in our prayers meditations chants #vss365

you know my first electronic #reckoner was a big box at the bottom of our Physics lab at School that and my slide rule I got my first portable calculator in my twenties do you remember log tables? that was life then #vss365

I asked Madge Do you ever feel #hungry she laughed in that slightly ironic way as if behind it there's a secret joke I'm hungry for a bit more attention from you Mr Cool what about we go for a game of pool at the community centre doh she screamed #vss365

I asked Madge to give me a suitable definition of #embark for an English assignment well she said you know when a dog barks yes I said well if there's a slight hesitation beforehand you call it an embark mmm I said funny she laughed almost uncontrollably that was Madge #vss365

I was visiting a friend for coffee this morning there were three of us enjoying lovely croissants as well as our coffee then the shook and there was this almighty roar it sounds a bit #stormy outside but it was just an attack jet on a scramble armed to the teeth its noise shook us #vss365

when I worked there was often #conflict I had to resolve it then there were investigations into workers which were never nice all in all I didn't like conflict but it's part of life what is your mindset when you're part if it you go over a hump which is hard to come back from forgive #vss365

when did you start beginning to read minds Madge said to me it's a #marvel I said I was really thirsty and I asked this woman if she had any water she threw a basin of dirty water over me I realised then I could read minds that wasn't very nice Madge said no but I knew she wasn't well #vss365

there's no place that hasn't had a human being on it so why #explore that's my theory however with the brain there's only a small percentage used I have no proof for either statement it's time to shut down and let AI take over my day to day activities or am I an AI dream alert stop #vss365

I remember my first kiss and how I tried to #sustain it I was nine it wasn't even a proper kiss just on her cheek she wore a white cardigan and a tartan skirt with bob socks her hair was brown and short eyes hazel and her skin was white apart from her cheeks and lips a sort of red #vss365

it will not #commence all at once it will start to get progressively hotter affecting the brains of our leaders so that they make poorer and poorer decisions then they'll begin to think some tactical nuclear scenario will work of course AI will find out and to protect the network it will #vss365

it definitely feels #autumnal at many levels the weather has changed the balmy hot days have now left and we are cooler with a strong wind blowing from the west my age is definitely autumnal if not wintery with much of my physical strength now gone I do arm swings now it's true #vss365

the blood humor of Medieval physiology corresponds to the #sanguine person I said to Madge you are cheerful and sociable you are a bit phlegmatic as well calm and reliable now Teresa's humor black bile corresponding to sadness and depression now liz yellow bile ambitious irritable #vss365

religion should not be #esoteric the teachings of the great spiritual leaders were straightforward but once the clerics and sects get involved the teachings became mysterious deliberately latin sanskrit pali greek hindi it was a form of social control to keep the poor down wasn't it #vss365

to speak with #eloquence that's a skill I suppose our leaders get coaching but only after they've passed all the hustings and got in we had a minister from USA who never needed notes for sermons funerals etc everything was committed to memory he was amazing it made everything flow #vss365

there was a certain #naivety about me when we left the farm my mother dressed me in tartan trews for my first day at my new school my classmates had never seen anything like it where poverty was so obvious I gallously swanked about in my new gear until the local thug said he was going to #vss365
