Who are you?

"As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the robe and crown?
Good Lord show me the way"  
                               - Alison Krauss




Yes. Exactly who are you? That's my question to you. Yes you. No not him, her or them. I am talking to you and only you.

So its election time here in the UK. We have all manner of politicians and their elitist cronies now competing for my time. I will often attend all manner of conferences of the non political variety. Speak with all manner of people. Civil servants, advisors, and  wanabes.  Before me they sell, sell their bullet points, appeal to my inner soul. 


But where is the authenticity, the integrity, and self appointed authority  by which they speak, from their soapbox made of sand? Are they wanting me to trust them?  Sell my worthless soul to them?

"Thankyou for your talk. You speak so passionately. But please tell me, for I would like to hear from you -  why should we Trust you?"  I will  ask.

"Tell us about the ethics of the  Right to Anonymity, our Personal Protection, our Right to Privacy and our absurd Right to be Forgotten - Tell us the advice given to the state, the policy makers which  apply to all of us, all citizens  - yes tell us all"


“If I turn mine eyes upon myself, I find myself a traitor with the rest;” 
― William Shakespeare, Richard II

Part III - Please Give me Second Grace

In this blog is my memory. Part ecstasy, part torture. To explore, and to arrive at the start — and know the place for the first time. Here begins a new enlightenment " You are the music while the music lasts " T. S. Eliot

The Arctic ....ashes to ashes

Travel log - Last month i went on an Arctic Expedition. An Expedition around the Archipeligo island of Svalbard. (Spitsbergen to me and you) http://www.ocnwide.com/ocn.htm Why go there ? i was asked many times over. Many thought i was a lunatic and very very few thought it was fantastic. In fact those few (strangers) thought i had made their day by mentioning this fact. Were they wanting shot of me?? they had only just met me... hmmm i wonder now.... The truth of it was i wanted to find inner peace, a calmness, a happiness from within. I wanted to go there and feel one with the landscape. I would go alone. so did i find it ? did i find my Utopia ? The answer - NO! and i have only myself to blame for this - for I did far too much talking, far too much laughing, far too much merry making.... But its gotta be said .. it was one of the most enjoyable times of mylife. The landscape was absolutely jaw dropping. The majestic glaciers were unbelievable. So unashamedly and unbelievably BEAUTIF...
