There once was a scotsman named Drew
Who put too much wine in his stew
He felt a bit drunk
And fell off his bunk
And landed smack into his shoe ~(C) Ms Niamh Anne King

Optimistic approach is not always the best thing to do: it can make you feel hurt more than the pessimistic one.....

Portrait of an artist.....again*sigh*![]()
I just want this time to be a little slow, so that I can see and feel things around me, it may catch its pace tomorrow, but not today.
whats on?
I went to an art gallery today. Is anyone familiar with Epstein's sculptures? Rock Drill and the...I think it's called Risen Christ. Rock Drill is fab, its nearly a hundred years old and it predicted a very robotic future...and...well, look at us now. But I do love my internet and my mobile phone. And my microwave.
Risen Christ is two hands, one has a thorn in it and a cut but the cut is actually a women's vagina. I apologise if this upsets anyone but it must be noted Epstein wasn't mocking the figure of Christ or anything like that, he was exploring fertility and sexuality, a huge concept after the Victorians repressive attitude towards it and who better to use than the son of Virgin Mary?

Interesting, though I am sure that there are those out there who will vehemently protest this sculpture (sadly). We had a hum-dinger out this way a couple of years ago, which the rabble really went out on a tangent about....
Anyhow, I am feeling nostalgic today...![]()

Should I also bang my head against the wall to take out my anger? But, I am not a teenager...![]()
Fear sorrow, it floats.

One that is simple and yet I've been grappling with for awhile
why if their is a god who loves us all is their so much suffering ? and if it is to test of faith then surely he loves us conditionally not unconditionally as hos followers seem to declare ?
Why am I the cook in this place .... ** sputter * sputter * expletive * sigh**
