in need of a little wisdom

laps again this morning
but a sore body meant yesterdays 12
was reducced to the more customary 10
still waiting for news as to when the new engagement will begin
the two parties quoting paper to each other
n promoting the merits of their point of view
but yours truly
doesnot feel caught
it is but another choice
another thing
which is out of my control
as the new life approaches
itunes would seem to hold all the answers
to my fears hopes issues difficulties
and general existential wanderings
first question
will i b happy in the new job?
begin, by ben lee
seems to be a good thing, beginning
letting things just happen after starting
this process is good -i like it!
second question
what will be my greatest challenge in the next 12 months?
don't stop now, crowded house
great answer
i can't see what is right in front of us sings neil
well neither can i mate
question three
will i find some friends at the new work place?
looking for co co by my missus
i sure am gonna miss her in the new job
its all a bit weird moving from family to a new thing
but they'll be around
i'm sure
question four
what does god think about all of this?
so you want to be a rock n roll star ? by the byrds
love a bit of glam in my work
but the satin flares may be a little inappropriate
last one
given the current state of world turmoil what spiritual advice should i give to help
maintain peace and inner tranquility?
youth worshipper by the church
ah kilbey returns
this is a song about growing up n not being stuck
seems like good advice
or maybe i need to try n not be too grown up
well freends
there it is
see ya round

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
