Relationships like books
Categories The Arts
Commentary “The Closing”:
I had the idea that relationships could be represented like a book, where the pages can be turned.
So I wrote this poem about a relationship.
It is a bit dark.

Being ignored
Categories The Arts
Being in a relationship is not always chocolates and roses.
I wrote a poem about when the partner doesn’t want to speak with you and ignores you.
How do you feel today
Categories The Arts
I often get asked “How do you feel” as part of our daily chat with friends. I normally say “Okay” or “Good”, without having to delve into my emotional household.
If somebody really wants to know, like a partner, I find it difficult to answer the question on the spur of the moment. I am more of a thinker and I don’t have fast access to my feelings like some people - they seem to be at a different level of consciousness. I need some kind of special key to get there, and when I’m there I need ages to unravel them, take them apart and describe them. Funny thing is, I’m faster at decoding other people than myself.
Commentary to Run To Keep Running
Categories The Arts
Every now and again, a story pops up in the newspaper about kids being sexually mistreated.
What the newspapers do not talk about is that a fragile person’s personality has been destroyed. That person cannot live a normal life like the majority of us any more, for the rest of their life.

This site: Building structure
Categories Work
Spent a couple of hours building the structure of this site.
Of course by definition, this site will also be a “product” with a life cycle, costs, customers, etc.
I don’t think most people who have sites think this way - they just plunge ahead - kind of “…gotta have something online because its expected of me”.
Whispery thoughts of time
Categories The Arts
Sometimes the ideas just flow when I am working on product development or working on the architecture of a new technical system. Over the last year I sometimes wonder if “I” am being creative or I am just being a channel for the ideas which are “just hanging around” in the universe ready to be picked up.
