one of the other things starting with F is father, and I saw mine today: I try not to see him very often as he is extremely grumpy and difficult and demanding and controlling and manipulative but on the odd occasions that I do spend time with him I always realise how, if one can, whatever the circumstances, one needs to forgive and be forgiven. . .

if one can
.

perhaps I ought to stop there

the letter P!!! ARGH!!!!! look what I forgot:

it's all in the ether

what is ether anyhow?

despite searching the internet for an explanation, I don't think it's the Orion Nebula, is it. . .

"Ether is a class of organic compounds which contain an ether group — an oxygen atom connected to two (substituted) alkyl or aryl groups — of general formula R–O–R'. A typical example is the solvent and anesthetic diethyl ether, commonly referred to simply as 'ether' (ethoxyethane, CH3-CH2-O-CH2-CH3)."

and that wasn't quite was I was looking for either. . . (either, not ether)

this came up, which is interesting (altho because of the way my mind works, I'm actually focussing on the lichen on the stone wall in the foreground of the photo) but there are other things to be found in gardens which are more beautiful, IMHO. . .

a ribbon of silver water running down a hill. . .

a sun dial which floats in a hollowed-out sphere
from which water flows. . .

I can't work this one out
but it would make a wonderful etching. . .

a panel of flowing water. . .

another panel -
I bet it looks incredible lit up at night. . .

a curious place to place an obelisk
but look at the fascinating reflections. . .

.
anyhow, where were we? oh yes, ether - as you can probably tell, I'm hooked up again! not wirelessly, but thru an ethernet cable (I nicked it from the boys' xBox - but if you keep schtum, so will I) which I believe connects me directly to the internet (well, not me - my laptop) (which for the moment seems to be behaving itself)

and the other items on my list of despair? I was lying in bed last night thinking that at least I have a roof (leaky or not), shower (ditto), light fittings, a drill, etc etc

and it all might seem a little overwhelming, I might slightly overwhelmed, but at least I am able to write a list and prioritise and plan to get every single thing sorted, one by one (not two by two, we did Noah's Ark the other day)
.

and everything will happen in the fullness of time

I just have to be patient, and wait
.

and that's a little like life in general, isn't it. . . no matter how much goes wrong all at once, you can't necessarily fix it all or have it settle down instantly - things take time, don't they
.

so this morning I'm just glad that I have an ethernet cable and managed to get my laptop to accept its advances and be here for this moment of my day, and yours
.

and I'm glad that you are here
for this moment of your day

and mine. . .

love after love

The time will come when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror and each will smile at the other's welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life.

DEREK WALCOTT

feeling kinky?

Thank you for the days, those endless days, those sacred days you gave me. I’m thinking of the days - I won’t forget a single day, believe me. I bless the light, I bless the light that lights on you, believe me. And though you’re gone, you’re with me every single day, believe me. Days. I remember all my life. Days when you can’t see wrong from right. You took my life but then I knew that very soon you’d leave me. But it’s alright. Now I’m not frightened of this world believe me. I wish today could be tomorrow, the night is long it just brings sorrow, let it wait. And though you’re gone, you’re with me every single day - believe me.

Every single day. Believe me.

Henry W Longfellow

The rocky ledge runs far into the sea, and on its outer point, some miles away, the lighthouse lifts its massive masonry, A pillar of fire by night, of cloud by day. Even at this distance I can see the tides, Upheaving, break unheard along its base, A speechless wrath, that rises and subsides in the white tip and tremour of the face. And as the evening darkens, lo! how bright, through the deep purple of the twilight air, Beams forth the sudden radiance of its light, with strange, unearhly splendour in the glare! No one alone: from each projecting cape And perilous reef along the ocean's verge, Starts into life a dim, gigantic shape, Holding its lantern o'er the restless surge... The sea-bird wheeling round it, with the din of wings and winds and solitary cries, Blinded and maddened by the light within, Dashes himself against the glare, and dies. A new Prometheus, chained upon the rock, Still grasping in his hand the fire of love, it does not hear the cry, nor heed the shock, but hails the mariner with words of love. "Sail on!" it says: "Sail on, ye stately ships! And with your floating bridge the ocean span; Be mine to guard this light from all eclipse. Be yours to bring man neared unto man."

it's all right

Here comes the sun,
here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right.
Little darling, it's been
a long cold lonely winter.
Little darling, it feels like
years since it's been here.
Here comes the sun,
here comes the sun
and I say it's all right.
Little darling, the smiles
returning to the faces.
Little darling, it seems like
years since it's been here.
Here comes the sun,
here comes the sun
and I say it's all right.
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that
ice is slowly melting.
Little darling, it seems like
years since it's been clear.
Here comes the sun,
here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right.
It's all right.

THE BEATLES

true minds

Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments. Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds, or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken; it is the star to every wandering bark, whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks within his bending sickle's compass come: love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, but bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

what would YOU do?

What would do think
if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up
and walk out on me.
Lend me your ears
and I'll sing you a song,
And I'll try not to sing out of key.

I get by with a little help from my friends, I get high with a little help from my friends, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.

What do I do when my love is away? (Does it worry you to be alone?) How do I feel by the end of the day? (Are you sad because you're on your own?)

No, I get by with a little help from my friends, Mmm, I get high with a little help from my friends, Mmm, I'm gonna to try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love.
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love.

Would you believe in a love at first sight? Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time. What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you, but I know it's mine.

Oh... I get by
with a little help from my friends,
I'm gonna try
with a little help from my friends
I get high
with a little help from my friends
Yes, I get by
with a little help from my friends,
with a little help from my friends...
