I did read but by doing so
I too spilled a drop of thought
but picked up your expression
on each smooth running verse.

Hey John, where you been? I haven’t seen anything from you on Facebook since the start of lockdown. You all right? And yes you’re correct: it’s a good thing my customers don’t know what I actually do all day!

Very pictorial. Thomas.
I see that you posted several poems just now. You’ll notice that only this one appears. Whenever you post a poem it removes your previous one from the blog. It remains on your own blog but not the common one.

FOR ATTENTION GREENWICH OBSERVATORY

You create a device as follows. Referencing the seismic recording instruments, you have something similar that works in parallel with your atomic clocks.

But whereas the seismic instrument has a needle on rolling graph paper to record vibrations and moves with such vibrations, the following instrument works differently.

It looks very simiilar, but there is no need for the needle to move up and down.

The graph paper rolls slowly like the seismic instrument paper. But the needle is not designed to move. The needle stays rigid and I add that the needle itself must have a vertical of about 1 inch before the nozzle touches the paper. That means that the needle is one inch vertical. The ink is of a particular opacity, that can be drawn very easily from the nozzle of the ink needle.

The paper moves through the instrument, and every hour, a simple stamp indicates on the left side of the paper, each hour. 0001 to 0901 1601 through to 2301 and then 0001.

The paper used is to be of a particular grade that is porous enough to draw the ink from the nozzle even if the paper stops rolling.

You have two devices working side by side. One is fed by mains power, the other fed by battery 'trickle charged' by mains power.

It is basic but here's the skinny. We are being targeted by cosmic tech, alien tech. Who are in essence stopping time.

You check the paper periodically. If you suspect something, check the rolling paper. If you see a blot on the paper, most probably time has stopped, and we are frozen. We don't know it, but if you check the paper, you may see a blot. That means the instrument has been stopped, but the paper is still drawing the ink even if no longer moving. ya dig?

If one instrument shows the blot, perhaps the mains fed instrument, but the other does not show a blot, then it is a power outage. But if both instruments show a blot, then you will know.

These devices need also be in situ, around sensitive installation.

as crude as it is, it will work. If time stops, the inch long needle will still have ink in, that the paper will draw. No less that two people to check the instruments. Instruments must be 3 meters apart. Instruments are also placed around the globe for cross correlation. And a pair one mile underground as time stoppages has been noted in a localized fashion.

As research gathers, you will note how a blot looks, its depth and size that can give an approx indicator of how long the outage.

Please give it some thought. Please give it a lot of thought.

We are globally being targeted by an aggressive off world.

Best wishes

Mike Robinson

Thank you for your "like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind" type analysis of this blog.

Life is a supreme journey. Who knows what will happens here tomorrow? Life will come to an end one day. Death will visit one day. Why be afraid of such inevitable matters?

Thank you for striking the like.

You nearly tricked me for a fleeting moment!

I'm flattered that my work should remind you of RK's "If"

Hey Abdul i don't think our conversation had ever been dull so why put an end??
Your work reminded me of Rudyard's words in "if".
If you could dream, and not make dreams your master
If you could think but not make thoughts your aim....

I guess you got what i want to say.?

Loved the ex husband's ashes as a doorstop!!!! Toward off the evil eye of any intruders, or so she could fling the door against it every time she went out or in? I usually avoid going back to places i was happy in as a child because sometimes, but not always, luckily, they have been ruinously 'developed'.

Nice one, as usual Ray! It's heartbreaking sometimes when the developers get a foot in. I look on to fields and a wooded hill and they put that terrifying orange tape all along the road in front of this, but luckily it was only to build a bicycle track. Liked the birds condecsending to feed from captive owners.
