    Under The Umbrella

    August 24, 2021 /

    A poem: Why?I mean, why the need to know?Some say it’s usThe complicated exploitative speciesApart from regal elephantsWhere memories are deepProtected by the yellow golden vastnessOf adult reed formsThat ask the questionWhy? The million other living speciesOf earth that break the dayThat never ask the question The loss Of this simple wordCan free the burdensThe expanse of which is infinite The search of beautyDissolving bellsWhere the sounds of questionsEcho in the mirrored distance Welcome helpTo the egoic companionThe somewhat hidden alphaFixingWantingHopingSolutioneering all before me A protectorPurpose to fulfilA natural dispositionHave I succeeded?If in the midst of notesWaiting in line hesitatingFor the answer The shouldI couldI wouldIs it a hill before…

    We are not “culturally” ready for Covid

    October 11, 2020 /

    Definition: Culture: the characteristics and knowledge of a particular group of people, encompassing language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music and arts Let’s be honest It hit us like a truck and we were looking in the other direction. The direction of selfishness.  On a global scale 35m infected and 1m deaths. Yes, from the new Covid-19 disease which has no cure. But it’s not the complete story. In some regions in the world it is being “managed” better than others. My focus where things are “just not right” is in Europe and I will focus on the UK, simply because it’s where I live and can see it firsthand. I write…

    Lockdown or no lockdown. We still have the virus.

    September 23, 2020 /

    A plaster will cover the cut but the scar will remain forever, and it will probably bleed again. I made up the “saying” above. I’m sure it can be found in some analogy or quote somewhere but I think you can kind of understand what I mean. I ventured out on a few errands last week. Not out of the ordinary but for some still a luxury. Firstly, I went to my official workplace for a change of scenery. Over the last few weeks I had become more restless and got the itchy nature of wanting to go out and work in different locations. I live nowhere even close to…

    Part 12: Why are we planning to go back to “normal” anyway? WE NEVER WILL

    July 13, 2020 /

    Why bother? This is the last in 12 parts where I’ve written under the title “Why are we planning to go back to “normal” anyway?” I will continue to write for sure. But what of the last 80 days since my first post? Firstly, even if it “feels” like it, we will never go back to “normal”. Don’t be fooled by the horrendous traffic, pollution and guzzling folk who have been in the pub for the last five days. You may have even hugged a stranger…but normal will never return….even when it does return. Think about it? When I started out I had no expectations. It was a release of…
