The Quietness Of Movements!

This is a video, bereft of audible sound, of birds, moving along and painting on a canvas of space integrated with time and defined by their physical manifestation as they appear to be when looked up at this moment in time. If you have been blessed to have, probably by chance, become aware of this video, and for probably no apparent reason, been tempted to click on it.  Then, please take the time, and the space, to view it, as it and you and all of us, continue to travel through time and space, from the unconscious to the conscious and back and forth.

BRITAIN'S BREXIT - IS IT A LESS BRUTAL VERSION OF 'ISLAMIC CALIPHATE'? PART 3.

Image
Is there a similarity between Britain seemingly wanting to 'protect its mainly white citizens and nation' from continuing to be part of an increasingly multicultural western Europe?  Of it wanting to re-establish a sense of a now rather nebulous and much overrated 'British exceptionalism?'  By removing itself from the collectivism of the European Union, and pursuing 'an individualistic approach'?  A policy which seems to have inverted the concept of 'we are stronger together', to that of 'I am stronger alone'? Just or similarly to how ISIL wanted to convert all the world into its demented version of Islam.   Or murder and make slaves of all those who oppose it; given the chance to do so.  Of course the British Brexeteers do not intend or want to destroy those who do not share their vision of their nation and the world through their prism.  But, considering the terrible crisis and uncertainties which their attempt to achiev

'There is less credit in being compassionate towards those you consider to be your friends, since that is what is expected of friends, than being compassionate and forgiving towards those perceived as your 'enemies', since that is not what might have been expected of you.' That of having her story being told to the world. And he did not find his way to the young woman who sitting in front of him.   Apparently honestly recounting her feelings, even to the extent of her honesty being used against her, by following a Star in the Heavens.  No, with two millenniums having elapsed between the reputed birth of Christ child, and the little unseen baby all wrapped up and held by his mother.  The means of finding ones way from place to place has changed greatly, and we now rely on digital technology, such as GPS, to find our way around the world. There might have been some similarity between the place where the reporter was interviewing the mother of

It can be fun observing and enjoying the little things in life, even as much as the big ones. So, do take a look at this video of a couple of Robins and at least one Blackbird having fun as they have a meal.

'Good and bad are separate sides of the same coin and do co-exist. However well or badly.  Good can influence bad positively or reinforces its tendency to be 'bad.'  But 'bad', already being 'bad', is only at risk of becoming 'good' or less 'bad.' As 'a clinical victory' of the forces which have destroyed the Islamic Caliphate as a territorial entity. Although war cannot be clinical, since it is a state of insanity. And this leads to to ponder the ever escalating cost, price of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union.  And the strange similarity between how both it, and the Islamists have and are trying to achieve goals which, if not abomination, are of a highly questionable nature. Is the United Kingdom's plan to leave the EU, an attempt to establish a British version of the 'Islamic Caliphate'?  One which will not cause the great loss of lives which the Islamists and those who have foug

'When the people all seem to turn against one of their own, with their minds steep in hatred and the demand for revenge, it takes a prudence and courage to counsel caution and patience.' Looking at young woman, dressed in a standardised black hijab, but with her amiably looking and almost childish chubby face fully uncovered.  Holding her week old baby, dressed in swaddling clothes and with none of his body to be seen, in her hands.  Those of us who are familiar with the Christian or Biblical story of the birth of Jesus Christ,  with the aid of a little imagination,might well be forgiven for doing a double take.  Yes, there was no cows, goats, donkeys or camels to be seen anywhere.  Definitely no Three Wise men. No Joseph and no Mary. And it is February 2019, and AD 1.  So, from this we can deduce that this is not the Christ child, Jesus, and his mother, Mary Magdalene.  The man interviewing the young woman was not one of the Three Wise Men, but a m

And probably even her husband, and vice versa. That was not the norm in that period of the social and psychological development of the society we lived in.  My dear mother, of course, needed to be strong, both physically and psychologically.   Given that, not unlike many other women of that period, she was subjected to physical and emotional violence of her husband, which has left an indelible and still active blight on her life.  She had been strong enough to cope with the unhappy relationship with her now deceased husband.  And, for whatever reasons, never had or taken the opportunity to engage in another relationship.   Notwithstanding the fact that, in her former years, she was a strikingly beautiful and elegantly looking woman.  Who has now been physically freed of her abusive husband since she was about 47 years old.  To be continued!
