Hello everyone and as always let me begin by expressing gratitude to Anna, Shilpa, Amanda and Melanie for reading, commenting, loving/liking my latest blog post. Do feel free to share the content if it connects with you and my heartfelt thanks to you all.
Yesterday evening it was the time of the writers' group and though it is a tiny one we did get some good content done. For me, it's a great way for us to catch up and also exercise that grey matter and to allow the words to flow. Especially now, where a bit of escapism and creative wandering in most welcome.
I'm also pondering a couple of writery things, yes I know writery isn't a word as such but I guess it is now! I'm looking to arrange a little facebook live where myself and others will contribute on screen to you all. Now, I know that many will hop on thinking they will receive a reading, which they will, but not quite what they may be looking for. I mean, imagine, there you are all waiting for a card and some twit goes waffling on with some silly short story or a poem...Hmm, there's a plot line right there methinks.
In all seriousness though, I think it'd be kind of nice even if my audience will probably be in the low single figures. However, there is a part of me that says so what. Us humans are always looking to please others, it makes us feel good and yet surely there is an aspect that proclaims us to do what we feel is right, even if the majority may well shun you. I have found myself in a state of dissonance many times, recently and before and the best thing we can do is accept who we are. Who are others to preach to you about what you should or should not do? Unless you are actively going out there to harm others then do as you please, otherwise we will all exist in a monochrome world with heads bowed to the dark Gods of repression and robotic thought.
It's intriguing how we are quick to accept labels for ourselves. Let us court controversy by looking at astrology. I'm a Gemini and yes I will freely accept that many of the facets of a Gemini do apply to me but part of me rebels and says what if I want to be like Sagittarius or Virgo, why not? Let's be an astrological agnostic for a second or two! No doubt, some would say but it goes against your true nature which again I accept but there's always that rebel in me that says yes, but eh no, actually I disagree, whether I'm considered right or wrong.
It makes you think doesn't it and I'm just using astrology as an example. It could well apply to your job, you could be a successful manager but really deep inside all you ever wanted to do was be a milkman. Your ego is probably saying yes but a manager is a far more worthy title than that of a mere milkman and should be recompensed accordingly.
I don't subscribe to that mode of thinking. For me, there is no superiority, that's all come through from history and the old lord and master thinking. Let's imagine some Lord of the manor with his grand income and he looks to the man tilling the field and his ego looks down at this vassal as a mere utensil for working the land whilst he thinks of his daring do on the battlefield. And yet, if that peasant doesn't plough the field along with his equals, there will be no food. Yet, we perceive the lord on his steed to be the one of importance.
I will admit that I have socialist tendencies. I believe in true communism, not this rubbish that's been corrupted by the old USSR and China which is all about repression. All should be equal but alas the ego of man will ensure that never comes to pass. What a shame.
Well look, once again I've completely deviated to what I thought I'd write about today and don't you just love it when that happens. I don't expect everyone to agree with what I've said and that's fine. This is just my take on the world and if you've made it this far then thank you very much oh and I finished wordle in four goes today!
March to the front
Find your gory glory
Submit to base nature
Tear down those devils
A bullet, knife or bomb
Doesn't matter at all
Do as you've been bade
Be the blood beast
Carnage is your wife
Embrace her raw lust
In her scullery halls
She will see you fed
And I call the shots
Tell you who to slay
Go seize a medal
Maybe a grand burial
See your weak humanity
Gorge on hellish night
Oh so notorious
Beneath cold boots
I've heard you've fallen
One shot to the head
Toy, you've served me well
Now...you are replaced.
