I have absolutely nothing in my diary for the rest of this week at least until Saturday. I love it. Who knows what will turn up. Sure enough something did.Â
I noticed by chance that when standing in my back garden I appeared twice in reflections so I thought I might as well make a work of art out of it and reproduced myself a third time by opening the right hand window. It reminds me of Andy Warhol. I love the fact that we are all unique. There is no one on the planet that is identical- I wish we would all act like it and not apologize for ourselves. I enjoy being me, saying and doing what I like. Take it or leave it.
Looking at the animal kingdom in general, it seems a sign of health that animals play, even if it’s inventing games or shadow boxing. I think is a part of mental health in humans without which we stand a danger, myself included, of becoming too serious for our own good.
I spend most days in front of my computer seven days a week but know that this is not healthy, not because computers are bad but because if we’re going to make a cake we need to have the right ingredients in the right proportion. Children remain healthy through play. We should emulate.Â
How to maintain sanity
From nowhere it came into my head that in order to maintain sanity we need to keep two models side by side; one is the model of things that should be in an ideal world which should sit in her head as a holographic image. This should be contrasted with what is really going on in the world with all his disorder and chaos.
I propose that we look from our ideal inner world view with gentleness and with compassion to view a damaged and ignorant planet where the truth has been systematically rejected in favor of self-interest.
On another topic completely it is wonderful to hear a politician speaking from his heart. The fact that such people exist at all give me a much desired boost. It is clear that Starmer hates the Brits, a bit like a fox being put in charge of a chicken run. And as a bonus – what a good ‘in touch’ interviewer! 🙂Â
