Have commented before,that every person who has ever lived,and will live,has what I call an Inner Stephen Fry,or Genii....But...millions of people,for whatever reason,never get to access it..Some believe Genius is for others,not for them,still others have been mesmerized into believing that mediocrity is something to be greatly admired,and will be rewarded in some never,never land called heaven-yawn!I have enormous admiration for Stephen,whom I call The Old Fry- Up.

There's a shining spirit called Joan,
Who in life was accident- prone,
She was dealt a big blow,
When stubbed she her toe,
On a garden gnome made of stone.

my late father,Harry..

ALTHOUGH MY late Dad,Harry,could be a real pain in the butt - an understatement!- he most definitely had many redeeming qualities,and was far more talented than all his other siblings put together.

He was a highly- skilled Engineer,a very good Carpenter,a good Gardener,something of an Inventor,not bad at Painting and Decorating and could make a mean pancake- and he was pretty damn Intuitive,also.In my book,that makes him a mini Leonardo,which is now a byword for great genius.As an artist,however,he was total crap and could NOT pen a poem to save his life.He also had an open mind and pretty much believed in life after death during the last few years of his life.Oh,he was also pretty handy at both plumbing and electrics!So,I take my hat off to you,Dad,wherever you are...

HAVE SAID this before,and it is true.If J.M.W.Turner was alive today,and he had at his disposal literally thousands of paints and painting tools,the works that he would produce would be beyond awesome,in fact,they would appear as if they had been produced by Goddess herself,which of course would be absolutely true and accurate.Monet was nowhere near as brilliant as England's greatest- ever painter,neither was Augustus Renoir or John Constable,whose paintingsI have never liked.

THERE IS no spot where Spirit is not...There is no space where Goddess is not,for space is as Omnipresent as God/Goddess/Spirit/All That Is...There is a vast amount of space within an Atom...Space is within ALL things,and ALL things are within space,both outer and inner space...As every physicist knows,there are,within every ATOM, infinitely-tiny particles of energy- or planets- orbiting their respective infinitely- tiny starry spheres...The Microcosm and the mighty Macrocosm...A universe in miniature...

An Atom,is in fact,a solar system in miniature....Do you agree,Professor Stephen Hawking?!

Basher limerick II...

There once was an ET called Basher,
Who would breakfast on eggs and a rasher,
As direct as they come,
Was the masterful One
The brash bashful bash called Basher.

Death Comes Unexpectedly...

This is the title of a sermon in the wonderful,feel- good story Pollyanna,the film version of which I have seen several times over a period of many years.It was Karl Maldan, not Haley Mills,who was the real star of the 1960 big -screen version of Pollyanna.The famous Streets Of San Francisco actor played a punchy preacher,whose fiery sermons were about as popular as toothache!Actor,Karl Maldan,was a Serbian -American,who was born in March,1912,just weeks before the most iconic ship in history,R.M.S.Titanic hit an iceberg before slowly sinking beneath the freezing,turbulent waters of the North Atlantic Ocean...

The fact is, that death almost always comes unexpectedly- even for those whose demise is expected.My mother,Joan,died suddenly and unexpectedly whilst sitting on the loo;my father,Harry's death was unexpected,as was my twin sister,who was still -born almost 65 years ago.The death of Joan's much-loved father,Arthur was totally unexpected - he was killed in a tragic road accident on 20th July,1936...The same could be said for some of the most famous individuals who have ever lived;Princess Diana,JFK,Martin Luther King,Mahatma Gandhi,Mario Lanza,James Dean,the list could go on and on.

Leonardo da Monetbags once read, with enormous mirth and amusement,of a certain infamous Guru called PowzeovNowze,also known as Trolle,as in off his trolley,who,unfortunately,had one of his super- expensive Rollers half-inched by a notorious automobile tea-leaf.....It was the eminent Guru's own fault as he neglected to lock his luxury motor...But all was well as the said esteemed spiritual teacher,because of his vast soul evolution,was easily able to remain in the present moment....for only a moment....Several nanoseconds later, the peacefully- meditating Guru's inner Incredible Hulk came surging to the surface,causing the masterful Master to totally lose the allotment,or plot,with the result that he ranted and raged to the point where he went puce in the face.

The upshot of this totally true story, is that his gold-plated Rolls Royce was found a wee while later with both its Wheels and Engine missing..Alas,his Insurance was invalid,so the poor, calm, tranquilized One was NOT an amused bunny...Shame,pity....Its only a pile of super-expensive junk..Now,Now Mr E.Trolle.

Joan

At 11.0PM,on the 9th of March,2014,our sweet and loving Mum,Joan,suddenly collapsed and died whilst sitting on the loo....The horrific sight of her dead,Soul-vacated body is one which both Peter and myself will never,ever forget- it was horrible,the stuff of nightmares.My belief in an after life is of no comfort whatsoever!!No-one,not even psychic mediums escape the agonizing,god- awful pain of grief and bereavement - especially the loss of a sweet and loving Mum like Joan the Moan,as I sometimes affectionately called her.Am sure that most people who have lost a mother will concur with me.Hopefully,Mum will soon be reunited with her beloved father,Arthur,who was killed in a tragic road accident when she was just 14 years of age.The fact is,that Joan was more Christ- like than are many Christians -she done a very good Imitation of the Christ,to echo the title of Thomas A' Kempis' famous book,which I read some 22 years ago.Possibly,Mum is presently convalescing in one of the many temples of healing which are said to exist on the Other Side of our closed eyes,as Jesus Christ once eloquently put it...

Almost 57 years ago to the day,a very old- fashioned but wise doctor by the name of Doctor Chilton,told my parents of his experiences of being a Japanese prisoner -of -war..It is well- known that some of the Japanese were more sadistic even than the Nazis,and that's saying something!!!I clearly remember Doctor Chilton commenting that he would not have missed that god-awful experience for the world!!He appeared to harbor no bitterness or hatred towards his former captors..

It was on the night of 2nd of March,1957..........
