Thoughts
I really shouldn't think, but unfortunately I do and you poor souls have to suffer the consequences.
Its strange how easy it is to get scared about things. Scared of loosing things, scared of keeping things, scared of things changing and even more scared of things staying the same. People talk about comfort zone... but does such a thing exist? Is there ever a circumstance where we feel truly safe and at ease. And what do we do when we find that place?
Maybe there is.
"Some Day I'll go, where there 'aint no rain nor snow. Till then I travel alone. And I make my bed with the stars above my head. And dream of a place called home."
If this Earth is just a passing place, just temporary measures, just a journey we take before getting home then what do we have to loose. Nothing is forever. It's strange how easy it is to forget that.
Maybe, instead of weighing up situations and looking at pro's and cons' or sitting and calculating how much we have to loose we should look at what we have. Maybe we should just decide that whatever happens it is our own life and we are going to live it and whatsmore enjoy living it. Whoever is or isn't there. Whoever tries to hurt us or decides to leave us alone. Whatever happens that could make us stop and retreat into our own worlds.
People come and go. So do places and attitudes and friends and family. If nothing is constant then why do we care so much about loosing things.
Isn't it possible to go into each situation we find ourself confronted with having already decided that we are going to come out in a better state than when we went in. If we've decided that then we look for ways to get the most from something. And if we look at things that way then nothing will be able to take that from us.
I dont know why or how. There is no empirical evidense. I just know that you can walk into something horrific, but if you decide that it wont stop you living life "and living it abudantly" then you still walk out with your head high and your sanity intact.
Its just a choice.
And one that is surprisingly harder than it looks

(to the tune of californication)
Forget about good china, say goodbye to civilisation.
Don’t use a plate to catch your crumbs you’ll have to wash it later
And in a short time we’ll require tea towel incineration
It’s the edge of Norfolk I hope you all have vaccinations
Enjoy the holiday all thanks to Kestrels Corporation
It’s understood and jolly good there’ll be crew exploitation
Chorus:
Pay your skipper by the hour with cake to take you sailing
Last out first in it is no sin for tea is what you’re craving
Waking up at dawn, Get that brew on
Coffee in-heavy application
Coffee in-heavy application
Verse 2:
Hoist up the sail let your jib unfurl use some astronavigation
You reef so high that you just as might have a main sail amputation
The boom hit-so-hard that it gave-me-a-scar I need some medication
Obstruction of our yachts may cause boat bank amalgamation
Filling up the cruiser-with-dumps means it needs a pumping station
And please remember after 9pm we practice segregation
Scorn and hate for those who haste to get us all a-sailing
Breakfast lunch and dinner our priorities unfailing
Waking up at dawn…
xXx
