Do I feel unproductive on lazy days ? Yes. ! That’s an honest answer, but I have been taught, doing nothing/resting, is actually doing something, it’s resting ! That lesson was not well learnt though. We all need rest and recuperation, but this modern life makes us feel guilty if we are lax.

Lazy Days.

I’m sat on my bum, my wife shouting “Come, fix this thing for me”, and I’ve got to earn cash, so we can have a bash, and go visit the lovely sea.                                  I’m 70 years old, and don’t like the cold, my poor arms and legs are sore, but I need to rest, to be at my best, and keep the wolf from the door.

Be Myself.

Can I sit here under this tree? Can I sit here and just be me? Can I sit here while the world falls apart? If I don’t, I may fall at the start.

There’s thousands like me out in the wilderness, The sane ones who can get us out of this mess. I try to spread kindness, nearby and beyond, Just like the ripples from a pebble in a pond.

What good am I, if I’m like all the rest? What good am I if I can’t stand the test? Someone has to stand up and set an example, To the ones that don’t care, of those there are ample.

So I’ll sit here under this aged tree, protect myself first, then others I can set free. Let’s hope that it spreads, I think that it will, Then the whole world with goodness, we can then fill.

Please excuse the two Dylan lines “ What good am I etc” Other wise all words Meadowhead Bard.

Just a thought, Dylan’s song “What good am I “ was covered a year or so ago by Tom Jones, it is one of the best covers of a Dylan song I’ve heard.
