The key to remembering

AsideAugust 19, 2022August 16, 2022 Athousandbitsofpaper13 Comments

Disassociation We run away from ourselves, the situation, the thinking of things that provoke us The more resilient and strong we seem The further away from the true problems we have drifted I had no idea this was where I existed Away from myself had become home and I hung pictures on the wall Lived […]

Herding Instincts – why we fear sticking out (or up) and how to get over ourselves (and why we really should)

AsideMarch 29, 2022March 28, 2022 Athousandbitsofpaper15 Comments

If I paint by numbers I am assured of a certain picture The outline is the same as the image on the box and all I have to do is simply choose colours one by one Mechanically completing a version that someone else created And I can say I painted Well done! Faithfully following the […]

The Gift of Life (and how to open it)

AsideJanuary 25, 2022January 25, 2022 Athousandbitsofpaper19 Comments

Life sits like an unopened present An invisible box that I daily circumnavigate Never opening Never revealing I give it a little shake sometimes Wonder what’s inside Yet like the celebratory treat a loved one has hidden, kept in store for me I’m never quite sure what to make of it – or some days […]

Don’t waste your miracle on your pain

AsideJanuary 9, 2022January 9, 2022 Athousandbitsofpaper20 Comments

This morning it is raining again The sea is whipped into frenzied foaming white capped horses that beat at the shore and trample everything in their path To enter the ocean is like walking into a stampede, and who would do that?

I was listening to a podcast today from The Life Coach School. I haven’t listened to Brooke for a long time. There was a time when I listened to her everyday for six months or so. She still makes a lot of sense. This morning Brooke was talking about how important it is to be […]

Weary Tunes

AsideDecember 16, 2021December 14, 2021 Athousandbitsofpaper8 Comments

Explaining yourself

AsideDecember 15, 2021December 14, 2021 AthousandbitsofpaperLeave a comment

Simple is as simple does Such a simple thought and yet we love to convolute Expanding situations into troublesome affairs And wondering why no one understands that we just want simple Causing chaos and stirring up drama the interior turmoil spills over and burns someone who goes on to think we are an overly dramatic […]

Everywhere you look there you are – again

Ego Is me In front of me Blocking me Preventing me From seeing Anything else When I look at you I see me When I look around A thousand meeeeeees Spring up A forest Of trees Falling For the sake of me And I’ve had enough Buddha said if you see your beloved on the […]
