Just a random picture of me in a bell tower when the bell rang just as I climbed up to it. This is for Don in thinking of the Big LMS bell he strikes?

Hi Jon, thanks for your comment on Crooked Café. Great to hear from you. I completely agree, friendly customer service in a one of a kind place is a rare thing in the big cities these days and it's to be treasured. I feel like we've got to support those local businesses and keep them going...

If only so we can sit there with our notepads stealing lines ?

Thanks again, T.

A breakdown is natures way of forcing us to deal with the emotions that we have been suppressing. It can feel as though we are back tracking in our road to recovery, but we are given the opportunity to clean are wounds and let go of those poisons that keep us from healing and being free. Only hold the walls up as you need to while working on dismantly it. Be strong, do your best, and work for a positive future. you are closer than you think

Peace

An awakening!! If only paid heed to. Must say a sober write with so much carefully observed concern but a hindrance of lack of verbal and physical means to provide any help or support.

Comment is about Greed Rules the World – I Guess (blog)

Original item by Don Matthews

Greed rules people in unexpected ways
Friendships all about monetary gains
If you are profitable in any way
Then your company they seek in every way
If you are no benefit to those around
Good riddance the word they pronounced
Greed is the new lust followed by all
Hey Don, I stand to agree what you told

Feeding me now for my wife became a chore,
Every day my meal was in a dog bowl on the floor.
But one plus was I was getting very thin,
'Cos I frequently discarded the dog food from a tin.

Original item by Lily Petkova

Tagore received the Nobel prize for literature and is read all across the world by many millions in many languages. Same for Eliot, Yeats, Baudelaire, Goethe, Plath, Healey et al. None of them wrote simple straightforward poetry but they did write poetry. Modern dumbed down culture demands instant gratification, immediate understanding of what? The blindingly obvious. TS Eliot, that marvellously complex Anglo-Anerican defender of difficulty wrote that: "Poetry may make us from time to time a little more aware of the deeper, unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being, to which we rarely penetrate; for our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves." That, for me, is a goal worth striving for.

Search a never ending way, exploring n discovering only to find there are many things yet unexplored and undiscovered. So true....thanks for the analysis....much appreciated Po!!

Comment is about What am i? (blog)

I lived in England for a few years and it was the 'crookedness' of everything that I got to love. In my hometown in Australia everything is 'straight' and clinical. However I came across Hillbillys, a 'crooked' cafe like yours, Bohemian sort of feel. A good place for inspiration....

Indeed, Po. Perhaps horror is the thing we fear most and keep on repeating it. That seems bizarre I know but we kill what we fear don't we? At the present time people are afraid of being overwhelmed by the unknown and social instability. The politicians will sort it out no doubt.

Hi Tom
I loved this. I think it's amazing when you can find a place that there's not loads of in every high street too.

Plus the kind of friendly customer service reflected in this Poem always makes me want to revisit a place like this and spend time there

Rare places nowadays, but they're still in existence. Just.

Great Poem
Jon

I wonder if you run the risk of being a self-deceiver?
Remember, there's no eager thief without an eager receiver.
So, let your mind keep active - taking what it needs
To keep us receivers busy - so our mutual profit succeeds! ?

Original item by Cynthia Buell Thomas

I think you exemplify the spirit of discovery both external and internal John. Of course I am in agreement but I would say that wouldn't I, considering my vocal involvement on earlier occasions. Brian has a point , but sadly a wider audience is already well served. while some attempt at least could be made to empathize with the deeper layers of meaning in the lives we live.
I like your phrase weaponize mediocrity, like a suit of armour perhaps.
