"You don't spend time with me like you used to."

How hard are you?

SCENE 1. INT. NIGHT

JIM ( A COCKNEY) IS GETTING READY FOR THE LIVERPOOL V AC MILAN CHAMPOINS LEAGUE FINAL

JIM: (To himself) Now come on lads. This is just another day at the office, nothing to worry about. We need to work as a unit and we'll be fi-

It isn't how it seems.

To spend a year drawing the same picture - is that perfection or obsession. It gets to the point when you know it has to end, but the reluctance to stop the connection between my hand, the pencil and the paper is so strong that it wouldn't hurt to add a bit more detail. Its typical that the last little addition ruins the whole thing, isn't that also typical to life.

Light-hearted fiction.

The murky waters become still
As it moves its gills
The fishes and eels flee
The fishermen switch their motors with fear
Which responds with no wear or tear
The serpent is coming

The ever blowing wind stops

The cushion, it turns out, was taken by a friend's friend. It was in tip top condition and she'd felt guilty so she gave it back.

Were any of the words that slid from your mouth like nurse home spaghetti ever anything but tricks to open our hearts (which are pure) so you could swallow them and eat them and grow almost as much as we shrank (but lasting shorter, the growing, because you're already shrinking back (I can tell from the things you said when you last said things in my direction) while we're just smaller now (little, little, small) to size).

colours end in black
surround the dark of my soul
implode and escape

throw me to the sky
watch me fly through countless stars
i vanish within

emerge fractured light
illuminate the night sky

Paraphrasing Charlie Pye Smith, the most popular expatriate of the British establishment in Nepal during the 80´s, there are timeless places in the developing countries where travellers are astounded by a combination of magic and epicureanism not to be found elsewhere. Pokhara, in central Nepal, is one of these places.

A bit of light-heartedness.

I: We are not saying leave the work when the momentum is high, but consider where in the seasons you are when the momentum is low. Making life hard is not just about changing actions but changing your attitude of mind to encompass the time of year. If you are getting lots of people feeling burdened at the moment, be aware that this is partly the time of year when the feeling of being burden is highest. When there is a sense of no light at the end of the tunnel, because darkness is increasing and light is decreasing. Not everything can be changed by the individual alone ' the force of nature, change and renewal are too strong, as they should be.

This is what you should say to your circumstances when they
don't line up with God's Word:

Temporary!

2 CORINTHIANS 4:18 NIV
18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is
unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is

ROMANS 12:12 NRSV
12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in
prayer.

Prayer is a habit that, like every other good habit, must be
developed.

You know you need to pray. You need God's help, His wisdom and

PSALM 107:20 NKJ
20 He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from
their destructions.

Many Christians have been taught that healing and miracles have
ceased. They think such things only happened long ago. (Funny,

The only thing necessary to change heaven into hell -- if God
were to allow it -- is selfishness.

Selfishness is mankind's fundamental defect. Selfish means:
self-centered, self-serving, self-important.

As you look closer you realise that there is not one pattern, but patterns within patterns, and twists and turns like infinity sweeping back across the sections, making new connections across old markings. Sometimes treading the same path time and time again, and sometimes adding new colours, new twists, new directions.

It is beautiful, exquisite. It is orchestrated by a hand and a mine far greater than yours, and it is indeed your life.
