And here we are.

Standing at the edge of the precipice. Someone has to go off the edge. The politicians think it will be the people yet it rarely is the people as history shows.

Life Is Never Lost December 25th, 2009 I woke up in the tiniest room of the tiniest house I had ever lived in. The house built from handcrafted red clay brick was around 200 plus years old. Many a person had travelled through each room before I had arrived. Before me, I imagined the previous…

Deliberate Recreation 1. Is there a 4th dimension in action in our daily lives? I think there is. I know there is yet for most that is uncomfortable thinking that there can be more than what we can see and hear. Yet With the wind in your face you know the wind is there but…

A Family Reshaped A happy life after divorce recovery. Yesterday I was reminded of something I now feel I might have been forgetting. Let me explain. Family can be your greatest friends. They can also become your worst enemies. Divorce forces a detachment from what was and creates a new blank screen that has to…

The Zoomanic Trance Continues It took me 53 years to cast my very first vote. It has taken me 54 years to realise and understand why not voting or remaining neutral to voting served me as a human so well. First Humanity is in a state of internal flux yet the purpose of humankind is…

Altrincham – From Dead To Deliberate Recreation In 1984 I started working in a hairdressing salon called Cliche in a town named Altrincham. I hated it. The owner named Dean was from Paris and he was nuts. Not only did he walk with a limp, have a large bolt that was always visible through tight…

Donald Trump Loves Coal – Dirty Bastard! A true story! One thing that always stood out for me as a young child of around seven was this. We had just moved from Scotland to England. Dad was there before us as he had started a new job in the Prison services. We drive south, headed…

Observations Monday It’s Monday and it’s sunny thank God. After coffee, we walked over to the post office to send over a couple of parcels we sold on eBay. I admit we do sell a lot of stuff on eBay and why not. I have sold things minutes after posting on eBay. After coffee, we…

Notes from Italy & Beyond I mentioned some time ago I was doing an experiment. The experiment is called my deliberate recreation. The idea is to evaluate life and all things in life. Identify what doesn’t work in life and then make the changes that are needed. That doesn’t mean fixing things that can also…

The Republic Of Trump (formerly known as America) I don’t ever remember a time when one man was spoken of so negatively on a global scale. Some of it I understand. Look after America before we look after others – ‘healer heal thyself’ And it’s easy to judge the judged without them actually delivering anything.…

Is Old Age Dead? At 104 years old he works 7-days a week and loves it. Gives over 150 lectures and stands for the full 90-minutes to keep him self-strong. He believes that his daily well-being comes from feeling good and nothing more. He also stays those that live long and never overweight. He finished…

What is life? What is happiness? What is life? For some, it is collecting a vast amount of wealth. For others, it can be something as simple as finding true love. For others, it can mean taking every risk they can with their life jumping from planes, mountains and into deep rivers. Others just want…

Gadget Addiction – The Life Inside My Screen By Alan Forrest Smith: May 30th 2016 I’m sitting in a cafe. The sun shines, there’s no wind and I am surrounded by strangers. My darling wife is sitting to my left. She is holding my arm like she always holds my arm. She looks at me…

What Is Truth? Today I was sitting in one of my favourite breakfast places with my darling wife Tamuna. We had coffee as usual. We had a breakfast croissant as always. Then we sat to read. Around ten minutes later a couple we know arrived. When I say we know them we just know them…

I am a man ripped and torn in many directions. My thoughts are not the greater thoughts. My thoughts are thought through yet I have no answer. Liberty and freedom has a price. Liberty creates and environment a structure a culture. The adhering glue of that being the state that runs under sometimes defined and…

Who am I? I am happy Am I a life to be tossed around in the waves of life’s sea until death? I am born I am used I die a death with no life behind me. I am forgotten. Who am I? I want to be the person I was born to be yet…
