Re: Blues & Good News - New Year's Word Jam

This post is sent from Tasmania, Australia with 13 hours left in 2013. I came across a delightful phrase in a poem, and so send it along to all those "who have trouble with belief" in whatever, whatever someone else would like them to believe in. The phrase is: "the will that will not will belief." ...

In Memoriam

In Memoriam A.H.H. is a famous poem by the English poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson, completed in 1849. It is a requiem for the poet's Cambridge friend Arthur Henry Hallam, who died suddenly of a cerebral haemorrage in Vienna in 1833. Because it was written over a period of 17 years, its meditation on the...

Re: RIP - Norman Mallory aka Zlatko Waterman

I did not know Norman Mallory or his poetry and artwork online, Doreen. Thank you for your email today with its information about Norman and his many years at Studio8. I will be 70 in 14 months time and the older I get the more often people pass from my world. It will soon be two months since Norman...

Re: Commenting on the work of others

Thanks, Doreen, for your response. I get some 200 emails every day, but the ones from this site I am happy not to delete. The photography of your site is something I have grown to appreciate, as well as some of the discussion over the years. So, for now, I'm happy to have threads from this site "to ...

Re: Commenting on the work of others

This thread has come into my inbox several times now. I think I'll comment on the subject matter of "commenting on the work of others" from a different perspective. I'll post a link to an essay I wrote on: "feedback I've received in relation to my writing from 1953 to 2013." Go to this link if you h...

RUSSIA AND ME: A Retrospective

Part 1: On the first day of April 2012, just after April Fools’ Day ended as it does at noon, after I had been retired from the world of jobs for a dozen years, I was able to develop my study of Russia. I had taken an interest in Russia from the 1960s while at university and had even applied for a j...

Re: RIP Lightning Rod - In Memoriam

I did not know this person who died, neither did I know his writing. I have been at this site for several years and posted many times. This is the first note of In Memoriam I recall at this site, during my time here. I will, though, post a prayer for the departed. I have been saying prayers for depa...

Re: "Chat Spot"

The mind and spirit of man advance when he is tried by suffering, chatspot. The more the ground is ploughed the better the seed will grow, the better the harvest will be. Just as the plough furrows the earth deeply, purifying it of weeds and thistles, so suffering and tribulation free man from the p...

What a delightful reply, stilltrucking. Your words inspire an honest response that reveals some of my 60 years experience of the Baha'i Faith. I am a committed Baha'i and believe in its Prophet- Founder who claims to be Christ returned; I believe in the Baha'i System. But, like all systems, individu...

Indeed, we are all in it together. I thought that was a clear messsage in Obama's inaugural address: 1. No single person can train all the math and science teachers we’ll need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs and busines...
