Eternity Calling

The Ring Tone on my phone
is John Cage's 4 mins and 33 seconds,
I rarely hear it when it rings.
What I hear instead is the quiet 
of an eternity beckoning.

The Power Of Sharing

Can excellence exist without relativity?
If it does then it lives in commensality,
where sharing without counting
everything out equalises everything.

A Calming Landscape

One day I would like to paint scenes like this one.
Here are some my attempts so far....

A God Is For Life, Not For Christmas

Because dogs are all year round creatures
and when we are so highly seasonal
we are so far from being reasonable. 

When Cleanliness Is Next To Personal Honesty

Excuses are like arse holes-we would be lacking without them.

The best we can hope for is that they are clean and fine,
and clear of the smell of self pity; an odour that others 
will recognise and distance themselves from before
the carrier realises why they are kept at the distance they are.

Between Lust And Tenderness

Philip Larking wrote
'To be honest in sex is to be tender,
to be tender is not to be lustful,
then clearly, between tenderness
and lust, a large gap remains
to be bridged. I won't say
'It Doesn't Matter', but it is
all a question of luck, isn't it?'

from his posthumously published
correspondence 'Letters to Monica'

Over-Competitiveness Explained

Suicide, even when it is attempted and failed,
is the subject of conversation we dare not have.

It is 'too uncompetitive' a subject to discuss,
particularly when we deny how much the planet
should fight back harder to reduce human numbers

to give the co-dependence of the non-human species 

that remain on the planet even half a chance of survival.
