Irregular Blogger Found...

On 4 May 2010, an irregular blogger was found

He was thinking about life, love and everything else,

And he felt bad for not blogging for quite a while.

And then he realised that whilst he hasn't been blogging,

He has been keeping a journal and enjoying the practice of writing

rather than typing...

Upon further reflection, this irregular blogger also admitted to himself

that he should spend more time reflecting

and less time reflecting on reflecting

because the latter was more distracting and imbued with guilt

whilst the former usually induced a sense of peace

And so, now, for purely selfish reasons

And looking for more peace

The irregular blogger will make no promises to the world

And he will be kind of his self

And look forward to future reflections

And revelations...

Please pray for the irregular blogger...

The hunger

 If the thirst for knowledge is not quenched

understanding is replaced by ignorance

and empathy replaced by apathy

The resulting infertile mind allows

the parasitical ego to grow

on top of, and in spite of, your self.

So quench your thirst

and pay heed to the bibles you pick

for they will be the maps

that will help guide

your life and spiritual journey

But, for goodness sake...

Drink something!

Stop... in the name of love!

My first blog in 2010.
Isn't it rather ominous that my year begins with a [painful] reminder to slow down and pace myself?

As I spent the first couple of days of 2010 in bed, moaning about the back pain,
I did my best to listen to the world (and myself) and actually slow down
before I figuratively and literally rendered myself completely immobile.

I ended up reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown and pretty much
saw past the story line and the complex plot based on real symbols etc.
and decided rather to soak in the spiritual teachings that he attempts to deliver in the book.

Although initially vexed, I'm now looking after myself, my back, my self.
Looking forward to pilates...
Looking forward to a better back...
Looking forward to a glorious 2010
with my beautiful wife
and my battery chargers - my lovely children!

2009 has taught me much and
2010 promises to teach even more...

My motto for 2010?
Pace,
Pace my self,
and listen closely
so the need to shout
is drained by the cacophony of silence
and the desire to be present.
