  • The Path of Simplicity.

    I used to aspire to be wealthy, in a modest way, I discovered, probably too late, it’s all just an illusion, propagated by the ones who can acquire more wealth than our wildest dreams. Three score years and ten and what legacy do they leave behind, just the lust for more power, more wealth. What… Read more

  • As I Woke Up One Morning.

    As I Awoke This Morning.      When I awoke this morning, I came down stairs to perform my usual ritual, wash the burn scars on my arm and hands, apply cream, replace the compression garments.

    One of the things I was most scared to do was yesterday’s post, some of the subject matter. was quite taboo. Tackling the matter of overpopulation is never easy.

  • Sing Me a Song.

    This is a subject that fascinates me. My theory is I was lucky, I was born in the mid 50s, so I grew up in the 60s and 70s. It is possible that I was protected from it but I don’t remember the all pervading aggression and violence that dominates the media now. It’s everywhere,… Read more

  • How Many Days?

    I like to please people, that’s what motivates me. If I make someone else happy, that makes me happy. Some will probably call it a flaw, attention seaker and all that, but what care I ! I remember when I was building my Bentley model, my wife was still working then, I couldn’t wait for… Read more
