et cetera

i'm sort o tired of all the music reviews
only ozzie band the whitlams n van the man morrison
really left anyway
hope ya enjoyed a walk through my itunes
loads more in the cd cabinet anyway
might pick a few out for ya
later

---------------------------------

last few days bit o job
bit o self
bit o this n that
growth n pain
visit to the dr for the inevitable blood test results et cetera
seems i'm alive
little over weight
over stressed
over it!
so i need to chill
eat better
walk more
riding even betta
nothing new
i'm hoping the new job
is a new life
and its up to me to make it so

stress abounds at the salt mine this week
i let the cat outta d bag a little early
telling my class and their parents
i was leaving
without going through the right stuff but...
oh well
i'm letting it go
today
whole family out for brekkie at the fave cafe
long macs n babycinos n eggs all round
then education super store to purchase
reading help for the young prince
(who is at age 5 is
having major dislikes of school n
the whole system
but more of that another day)
then the worldwide swedish design store for cashless furniture
shopping with rest of perth it seemed
past da library
n home
to you freends

the whirlwind of life just pushes us on
i feel it today
so many things i feel pressure to do n be
but
to stop doesn't seem an option
getting off the roller coaster
hard
if not impossible
so
the thin line returns
you must be sick of this theme
live in the mystery the moment mayhem
walk between culture n counterculture
love it all
embrace not divide
see with new eyes

and take my bp tablets!

see ya!

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...
