in flip in reverse and opposites

Christ messe is hitting hard here
Celebrating the birth of the saviour with
Rushing
Over commitment
La la la la la
You’ve heard me say it all before freends!
Sorry to bore you
Its just that this year
It feels a little more important for me to
Notice it
Speek it out to ya and meself
Teach me littilies the truth
Try and see beyond
You know anyway.
Don’t ya?

Today we celebrated a fellow littlies birthday
Myne ran ragged
Ate well and then bid farewell
On to the next big event
The carols by natural organic light
(as in wax procurements)
songs to be sung
dances to be rehearsed
frustrations to be carried out
guitar strings to be strummed
self images to be maintained then
the afternoon
was as different from the morning
as
santa from jesus
lingering lunch
cricket on the tube
(now for you readers from around the world
that’s a rather lovely game
where men wear white
and chase a red ball around a green field
or throw round arm as fast as they can
at the poor fella whose supposed to hit it
with a nicely shaped piece of tree trunk
its really rather beautiful)
littlies asleep on the sofa
cards written
blooges dwelt over
books read
bills paid
mail answered
prayers spoken and unspoken
coffee drunk

just a usual day
in Ck world

Mad Men 101

Thanks to a conservative blog for peace I have become quite intrigued by with US series “Mad men”. For most Australians this is quite an unknown program, the second series being premiered this Sunday night on specialized broadcaster SBS, leaving us well behind the US which is currently airing the fourth series. For those who don’t know, Mad Men takes place in the early 1960’s, varying its setting between the main characters Advertising office workspace, their homes and social lives. As the series progresses we discover that the characters are not at all what they seem, both outwardly and inwardly, as we journey with them through the historical events and changing social patterns which have influenced so much of our modern culture. It is this historical element which captured me. The ways husbands, wives and children inter-related. The constant smoking and drinking. The more relaxed pace of life. Infidelity and the subsequent risks and consequences. Psycho-analysis just beginning ...

december heart

my soul is tired but my hands want to keep being busy my mind restless but full of plans the days of christmas and summer stretch before me like fresh paper a beach in winter a monks cell these days of opportunity a paradox to not do: is to heal is to just be: frustrating leaving the year behind and moving forward a challenge. Sleep. Wine. Silence. Prayer. Zen. Friends. Walks. Love. My solution.

Spiritual Friends - Henri Nouwen

Image
I thought I might write a short series of posts about Spiritual Friends - those writers and people who have influenced my spiritual growth and contributed to my search for God. Henri Nouwen, the Dutch Catholic  priest,  was the first writer who really captured my imagination about what it meant to be a spiritual being and take the search for God seriously.  I can see my life in both before and after discovering Nouwen stages! My dad suggested I read "Genesee Diary: Report from a Trappist Monastery" with the words. "I think you'll like this. If you do you won't be able to put it down and then you'll want to read all his books!". He was right. I counsumed the book in about two days and then began buying/borrowing/scrounging for more! Loads has been written about Nouwen, and you can get lots of information from the society website. His personal influence in my life really falls into three  - disciplines, community, and freedom.  Disciplines : Henri was big...
