The brain is just another fleeting moment of Mind

Fleeting moment of the mind or not...

Without our brain we'd be in a right old mess.

Stretching is good for the spine.

If prostrations do nothing else they offer good stretching.

Ground rules for anarchy?  You gotta' be BSing me!

You'd be forbidden from posting that sort of comment MH - if these proposals are ever adopted.

There's enough rules and laws in the world as it is without someone coming up with new ones for posting on here.

This will be our first season in this new to us seaside garden.

The cottage is 200+ years old and we've some ancient fruit trees.

Lots of bulbs coming up already and huge drifts of snowdrops already opened but I haven't mowed yet.

Mrs GMP has grand ( and expensive) landscaping plans.

I'm on board with her plans just so long as it doesn't involve me in heavy lifting.

We're that age now when getting someone in to do the donkey work is a viable option.

"Challenging it in any manner for any purposes would be forbidden."

Sounds 'forbidding'.

If it aint broke...

A percentage of them - for sure.

No way...

 

...I really enjoyed that movie..

The opening shots in the movie are chapter and verse the first three paragraphs in my story.

Pragmatically though I would be unlikely to get anything as the magazine publisher who bought my story would claim rights.

I can't remember ( never knew) whether or not publication implied they owned 'world' rights or not.

Back in the day it was a real result to get anything accepted for publication and be paid for it.

The £80 I got for that yarn was serious money to me at the time.

Hey ho.

Who would be prosecuted and how for breaking this anti-reincarnation law?

I have visions of Chinese detectives staking out maternity wards and shouting ....

"Book him Danno-Chan!".....

as soon as a baby pops out.

They'd have to manufacture tiny handcuffs but, that said; the Chinese are good at making stuff.

Seems to me that problems are problems whoever has them and wherever they arise.

It's how we choose to deal with problems that counts.

Apparently the powers that be figurd you already had enough.

Yep. They got that right.

Is it just me or does anyone else find Tolle's spoken delivery soporific?

It's all very well ignoring this guy but if ever we do get a zombie apocalypse he could be a handy dude to know.

I for one would have no hesitation in sending him in first against the undead to 'take one for the team'.

Monsoon Wedding ( the India based movie by some dude who made a mint).

Monsoon Wedding ( the India based magazine short story by "GMP" using my pen name and published four years before the movie was released).

Did I get one red cent?

Take a wild guess.

Anything that reduces pollution is good.

This is a step in the right direction.

Hi Rara.

Being self employed you work for a very hard boss.

Thing is buddy what would you do if you stopped?

The lows are low but in your line of work the highs must be incredible.

Might you not miss those?

I was dreaming of retiring and stopping work.

More time for me and more time for cultivation.

Fact is, so far; I'm bored off my bits a lot of the time.

Don't miss work but do miss workmates, my students and the 'crack'.

Think before you jump my friend and all good wishes to you whatever you decide to do.

I got that on Sunday 1st March for a while.

Then it cleared up.

@Carbonbreath...

Run away fast!

The majority of graduates earn more than the majority of non graduates over a working lifetime.

Education is never wasted.

It doesn't happen here and would be highly unlikely too.

I like my branch.

Teachers sometimes heal and healers sometimes teach.

Both are virtuous paths when followed honourably and humbly.

Sorry to hear that you broke up with your partner 4bsolute.

Hahaha...I bet this is only skimming the surface of legendary stories. I want to hear more!

That's all I ever took drugs wise but some of the cabbies were drugged up to the eyeballs on uppers.

You had to work long hours to make serious money.

I only drove on evenings and weekends.

Our taxi base was on Streatham Hill in London just up the road from Brixton and friends said I was mad to be driving a cab round Brixton at night.

I read somewhere that..

"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

There's ambiguity for you.

If we take 'substance' and 'evidence of' that implies factual non illusory.

Whereas taking those other factors...

'Things hoped for' and 'things not seen'

That implies ( to me) the illusory- intangible.

Not sure that answers your OP question though.
