24/6/2023 0 Comments Paignton: Yannis Nicolaou - Immortalised in Stone - Or At Least Spray Paint! (24.6.2023)Yannis Nicolaou - and the young people of Torbay - have produced yet another work of art! If you want to see it - just drive on the road between Torquay and Paignton and look (carefully) toward what used to be the Gas-Works (opposite 'Hollicombe Park')! Even when I am not there (and after I am gone) my spirit can keep waving at the traffic as it passes by! What an excellent collective effort! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

28/5/2023 1 Comment Well, Today is My 80th Birthday!I was born on May 28th 1943 - as the UK was involved in WWII and the bombs were dropping! Today, I am visiting my family and quietly eating my dinner (lunch is for posh people).'My body is in accord with my mind, my mind with my energies, my energies with my spirit, my spirit with Nothing. Whenever the minutest existing thing or the faintest sound affects me, whether it is far away beyond the eight borderlands, or close at hand between my eyebrows and eyelashes, I am bound to know it. However, I do not know whether I perceived it with the seven holes in my head and my four limbs, or knew it through my heart and belly and internal organs. It is simply self-knowledge.' This is what the Daoists say at any rate. The secret of longevity is the continuation of the breathing mechanism. I am not sure it involves anything more than this. Words might become 'fewer' with age - but this because they are supposed to get 'wiser'! Let's leave it at that!
27/10/2022 0 Comments Always Do the Right Thing...Captain Edward Smith of the RMS Titanic - had a beard like me! A very brave man who went down with his ship - like many others that cold April night in 1912! We must be a support to one another - and through our actions - inspire others to be brave! Who knows - we might not be able to change our immediate circumstances - but perhaps we can transform the world for the better for those who come after us! Fear is natural in difficult times - but love for one another can always be stronger! Sometimes, we must stand where we are because fate demands it and there is no other opportunity! In this way - although our bodies are entrapped by the conditions our bodies find themselves within - our minds and spirits soar through the cosmos completely free and unhindered! Oneday, this transition from matter to spirit comes to us all - in one way or another! It is wise to be prepared! Captain Smith above is played by British Actor Bernard Hill - who I remember playing the part of 'Yosser Hughes' in the 'Boys From the Black Stuff' - on British TV during the 1980s!
Love - Moses Kai-Lin (left) and Mei-An (right) - my two beautiful grand-daughters from South London! Life is short and we must treat one another with love and respect. What else is there? Children carry-on our genetics and retain the memories of who we are - their ancestors! Our children and grand-children must build a better and more loving world! Wisdom and compassion are the keys that will build a better world! Many people are psychologically and physically damaged by various events that they have experienced in their lives! This observation is stronger than any government, any Court or any army! Anyone can do anything to our bodies - but we possess the ability to strengthen our minds and expand our hearts! Who can beat this? No one! A person can have any amount of worldly power - but it means absolutely NOTHING without a heart that emits a boundless and all enveloping love for all beings! All beings - that is every form of life past, present or future - are all equally valid! I love all of you without exception. You do not have to like me, support me, care about me or even think I am useful in anyway - I need NOTHING from you! I LOVE you without exception no matter who you are or what you have done (or not done). I do not care about your history because LOVE permeates everywhere and all the time. When I look and wave at you - you are immediately free! More than this - when we meet the value of your being FREES me!
23/6/2022 0 Comments Treading Carefully...As per usual, the seasons are slowly turning! I often sit at my window looking-out upon the garden and observe all the changes as they occur... This involves the presence of a number of rabbits as they move around - pretending to hide from this or that predator. These rabbits are pets and are very well looked after and the only issue they have is the odd sea gall or perhaps enquiring cat! In other words, these rabbits have no real concerns, other than when it is feeding time! Much like myself - particularly as I am older than I was - but am in better health than I should expect! Waving on occasion - sitting and contemplating reality - and inbetween moving around and visiting family and friends! The art, particularly as I move into old age is to pick out words carefully and use them sparingly so that the maximum good is achieved through the minimum effort! This is not as easy as it sounds - as everyone interprets 'words' differently and what is viewed as 'praise' here is equally viewed as 'criticism' there! This is why 'silence' is often used as a position of 'no position' - and although it is a bit cryptic - nevertheless does not pour fuel on the fire of agitation, or at least does not make matters worse! On the other hand, a well chosen and precisely placed word can move mountains and produce much positive effect! On the mundane level, as the seasons have moved on yet again, family and friends have traversed through my awareness - and birthdays, bank holidays and significant times of the year have come and gone! I trust you are all well, and if not, I hope that healing and help will come your way in an unlimited quantity!
