Soon it will be another full moon but what we see isn't the real moon but it's reflection in the mind's eye.<BR/><BR/>A great saying ! . <BR/><BR/>I must admit having just attended a philosophy conference it was a relief to become engrossed in a daily dose of varying interesting topics rather than being confronted with a daily soup of poor economic news. <BR/><BR/>But my refreshed brain is now under the pump, trying to remember all of the songs for a small celebration concert as part of our 50th as a parish. I’m finding it hard to remember them all. <BR/><BR/>I loved the painting again, was it another Indian tiger?<BR/><BR/>Once Jer has recovered make sure he does abdominal stenthening exercises to take the pressure off the back- just 10 mins day - wish him a speedy recovery. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Best wisheslindsaylobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774918551798647046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-53828822413568601352008-10-08T17:59:00.000-07:002008-10-08T17:59:00.000-07:00diva - Yes, it's one we've sent as a present to a ...diva - Yes, it's one we've sent as a present to a few people.. as in spreading the love and understanding.<BR/><BR/>I'm very happy you enjoyed both :-)susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-1580116580496770842008-10-08T10:10:00.000-07:002008-10-08T10:10:00.000-07:00Susan, I loved that book.

I have always wished we could stop fighting each other and concentrate our efforts on making enough food for everyone, giving them decent health care, etc. Just make this world a great place to live and at the same time start a real program of space exploration and spread out to new solar systems to see whats out there. Its really too bad our race is insane. We prefer to attempt to dominate everyone else instead of making an effort to co-exist. With the wealth and technology in the world this dream is very doable. It makes me very angry that we don't just do it. we are all one race for crying out loud its way past time to freakin grow up. <BR/><BR/>Ok, now that's out of my system, hehe, I like your painting. You should definitely show more of them. I do love a full moon. This is my favorite time of year. The change into fall is nice. A full moon during the change is even nicer.Avsharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092739772227790052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-90621537059338881052008-10-07T08:23:00.000-07:002008-10-07T08:23:00.000-07:00Yeah, and the first Murkan we run across will prob...Yeah, and the first Murkan we run across will probably shoot first and ask questions later. <BR/><BR/>Isn't there a way to give all the warmongers and lunatics their own place and the rest of us who DON'T want to be assholes can go about our business? <BR/><BR/>Keep posting more of your stuff, too. :)Randal Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728992897551848531noreply@blogger.com
