Have commented before,that every person who has ever lived,and will live,has what I call an Inner Stephen Fry,or Genii....But...millions of people,for whatever reason,never get to access it..Some believe Genius is for others,not for them,still others have been mesmerized into believing that mediocrity is something to be greatly admired,and will be rewarded in some never,never land called heaven-yawn!I have enormous admiration for Stephen,whom I call The Old Fry- Up.

There's a shining spirit called Joan,
Who in life was accident- prone,
She was dealt a big blow,
When stubbed she her toe,
On a garden gnome made of stone.

my late father,Harry..

ALTHOUGH MY late Dad,Harry,could be a real pain in the butt - an understatement!- he most definitely had many redeeming qualities,and was far more talented than all his other siblings put together.

He was a highly- skilled Engineer,a very good Carpenter,a good Gardener,something of an Inventor,not bad at Painting and Decorating and could make a mean pancake- and he was pretty damn Intuitive,also.In my book,that makes him a mini Leonardo,which is now a byword for great genius.As an artist,however,he was total crap and could NOT pen a poem to save his life.He also had an open mind and pretty much believed in life after death during the last few years of his life.Oh,he was also pretty handy at both plumbing and electrics!So,I take my hat off to you,Dad,wherever you are...

HAVE SAID this before,and it is true.If J.M.W.Turner was alive today,and he had at his disposal literally thousands of paints and painting tools,the works that he would produce would be beyond awesome,in fact,they would appear as if they had been produced by Goddess herself,which of course would be absolutely true and accurate.Monet was nowhere near as brilliant as England's greatest- ever painter,neither was Augustus Renoir or John Constable,whose paintingsI have never liked.

THERE IS no spot where Spirit is not...There is no space where Goddess is not,for space is as Omnipresent as God/Goddess/Spirit/All That Is...There is a vast amount of space within an Atom...Space is within ALL things,and ALL things are within space,both outer and inner space...As every physicist knows,there are,within every ATOM, infinitely-tiny particles of energy- or planets- orbiting their respective infinitely- tiny starry spheres...The Microcosm and the mighty Macrocosm...A universe in miniature...

An Atom,is in fact,a solar system in miniature....Do you agree,Professor Stephen Hawking?!

Basher limerick II...

There once was an ET called Basher,
Who would breakfast on eggs and a rasher,
As direct as they come,
Was the masterful One
The brash bashful bash called Basher.

Death Comes Unexpectedly...

This is the title of a sermon in the wonderful,feel- good story Pollyanna,the film version of which I have seen several times over a period of many years.It was Karl Maldan, not Haley Mills,who was the real star of the 1960 big -screen version of Pollyanna.The famous Streets Of San Francisco actor played a punchy preacher,whose fiery sermons were about as popular as toothache!Actor,Karl Maldan,was a Serbian -American,who was born in March,1912,just weeks before the most iconic ship in history,R.M.S.Titanic hit an iceberg before slowly sinking beneath the freezing,turbulent waters of the North Atlantic Ocean...

The fact is, that death almost always comes unexpectedly- even for those whose demise is expected.My mother,Joan,died suddenly and unexpectedly whilst sitting on the loo;my father,Harry's death was unexpected,as was my twin sister,who was still -born almost 65 years ago.The death of Joan's much-loved father,Arthur was totally unexpected - he was killed in a tragic road accident on 20th July,1936...The same could be said for some of the most famous individuals who have ever lived;Princess Diana,JFK,Martin Luther King,Mahatma Gandhi,Mario Lanza,James Dean,the list could go on and on.
