Maybe it's because we are

Posted on Wed, 14 Mar 2018

Maybe it's because we are tool makers that we look for purpose in everything we come across, even life. But "pure experience of being" as you say, unsullied with being chipped into a more useful shape, that's what animals have, presumeably that's...

Enjoyed this richly packed account, haiku like fitting a wardrobe of clothes into a brief case. Particularly liked the botanic garden in the storm, and patatas bravas in Burger King

I like this appreciation of the uncomplicated but intense feelings of dogs.

Also sympathise with not being able to upload pictures. My partner is doing an OU computing degree but I dread asking for help because of the sighs :0)

It is like you are suffering

Posted on Fri, 02 Mar 2018

It is like you are suffering from lack of oxygen, isn't it? Being stuck in the house, the frustration, somehow the best thing seems to be to shut down. Post meno pause I feel like Humpty Dumpty just thinking about climbing over a wall :0)

I'm glad this is on the Home

Posted on Sat, 17 Feb 2018

I'm glad this is on the Home page as I'd missed it, and it's very good. I wondered why the me too thing is so big suddently, but can't be Brexit as America is all righteous about it too. My theory is mega companies trying to distract from not...
