Mindfulness values.

 Today there was an incident where car crashed into our holiday home then sped off. The trail of damage including parts of the vehicle that hit our Caravan tell a story. But little investigation and narrative is now one of Alcohol misuse £80000 worth of damage plus further criminal prosecution.

Little mild bump. Unfortunate and uncomfortable where explanation of wet circumstances damp condition . No longer the narrative. LIFE can turn. Linda my friend was at home Wednesday when loud noises and earth shaking in Cyprus. She surviving terrifying earthquake sesmetic force of 5:3.

John another friend in another country slips needs medical help and health is threatened. LIFE .

Riding the sand dunes in 1935 was a DH Lawrence.

Hits a tree on his Moter bike. LIFE ends you don't know what going to blind side you at 3 o clock in the afternoon. Nor what could happen at 10;in the morning on any given Tuesday . Be prepared. Be your own watch guide. If it's a struggle adopt value of your own resilience.

He is....the I am ....

Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night’s Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.”

Mindlessnests...no it's not spelling mistake.

So block of flats where l live, plus the 2 blocks next door there are is nobody except myself in employment. I am retired there are 6 younger. Some of the older residents not worked in whole time they have lived there . Men l know in their 60's got through life never working substantial. Drink misuse, Alcohol misuse. Know five different young people not working due'mental health issues'.

All got Netflix's, very decent income streams thanks to personal independent payouts. Equates to extra £330 to £800 plus a month.

The mind occupied by less. 
Less on self development
Less on community
Less on involvement with others.

Minds not engaging  with anything that represents discussion..conversations or dialogue. That's leading them to crippling emotional literacy. Yet answer to better LIFE is clear to them as it is to myself. Less time on self. More time on self discovery of world vision. TV set is only focus, social media informs so the minds are doing less.

With teared stained face.....

 With sadness that made me just stare and walk. Remember you my son. In one of our places we sojourned too...oh so very often the lake, where moor-hens, swans, black eyed grebe, mallard ducks gathered also.

I think of you. But don't think about tomorrow. Made efforts to be a different father then one never experienced. Reflected again to our journey there two years ago the walks that sunny Sunday afternoon of most glorious warm Autumn week on the coast. Cuppa we shared, the cig you smoked looking across rippled lake. Talking smile heading back for lovely meal followed by pint as we watched poor group karaoke through a boring show. Past the time simply. 

Never thought stand here with you gone. Old man looking to still process events deeply....too deeply.

The crows nest sits high among the branches, like it found one time a place to hide. Now exposed to passing of a moment. Exposed in force 3 wind that's attracting attention as it grows faster.

Don't know much but know Loves the best way

As autumn arrived wet been the case for while now. Winter perhaps fold into present chilly old ...but noticed more. Is it age. Noticed much more we gather less. Fewer people in shops. Guided response to finical crisis. Efforts put into each purchase. Unsure what will be a solution.

Consigned l am not offering hope maybe falling into gossiping the bad news. So try and seek hope for us share it more frequently and louder.

Don't know much but know Loves the best way.

We glorify the past when the futures Dead ahead. Remembrance day 2025.

Here a sample of greed fueling Food inflation.

Here a sample of greed fueling Food inflation in Yorkshire trust me having confessed to my Lovely Lady friend l recently Boiled the Beetroot. Your better of getting them from Tesco for £1 a jar.

Point out that not too be confused with 'Beating the Bishop', which my Lovely lady friend suggested has Sexual connections. Me being Church gent...
"Got no idea either ".

What witnessed is high price.
Poor quality produce.
Exploitation by shop keepers.

At 80p for individual vegetable like common potatoes. We are seeing return to level of poverty that more difficult further down the food chain you are. Sort of pun there actually not intended.
Lower on food chain one finds themselves much harder to eat healthy and sensible.

sorry this may be upsetting.

We don't need the next tweet.
Nor should we bother with our likes on Facebook .

'What's apps' snaps are OK for staying in touch those far away. But no one …sorry this may be upsetting...no one needs to know your current status. The love of the present moment....fashion or political views

Look at an image in an Art gallery. Let the stillness of the images stay as you observe in silence. Breathe carefully enjoy the nothingness. Life waits. Later you can join the speed of everydayness.

Set down all the plans. Ignore durations of time. Preserve something of ordinary time. Join people society and community in little while. Do this often.
