Stop me if i'm wrong, stop me if i'm wrong....

The exception to the rule proves nothing

The exception to the rule proves everything 


An exception to the rule proves little, as it only applies to a minority of circumstances so teaches us little of use, but it also teaches us why circumstances are the way they are for the majority of the time. To hold 2 conflicting view points in our minds at once is regarded as a great feat, and a steep towards seeing all angles in life !

No. 85

" I distrust any thoughts uttered by any man whose health is not robust. All other thoughts are surely symptons of disease ? Yet these thoughts are often beautiful and may be true within the circle of the conditions of the speaker. And yet again, do we not find that the most robust of men express NO thoughts at all ? They eat and drink and copulate in silence... What better proof of the fact that all thought is dis-ease ?  "   A. Crowley

It is indeed true. Happy and healthy fulfilled people do spend hours on end spouting their views online or writing poetry or write blogs. Thought and creativity are a sign of mental dis-ease. I have known this for some time. Further more birds of a feather flock together...

The Unwritten Law !

There is an unwritten law in this Universe. It cannot be avoided, and always manifests itself at every opportunity. If a man is mixing a quantity of concrete, he will always be a little short of having enough to finish the job. Usually if small amounts are mixed he will be short by a shovel full. If a big job is attempted, he will probably be short by the same ratio as a small job runs short. There will be a figure or ratio that reflects this law as a constant. A learned man would do well to figure this out.

Until you realise this you are a fool !

Have All The Best Popes Been Atheists ?

Today 300 celibate Catholic Priests will debate their religions stance on the Family. Is this a bit ironic ? Or are really " all the best Popes Atheists " ? After all those who havent bought into a situation, or have a vested interest in one, may after all offer the most uncorrupted and useful view points on such a subject ! Maybe...after all if our heart is in something then how reliable can our judgement be ?? It is bound to be blurred.. no ?

Moon Magick

Midday Summer sun
In midnight Winter sky

Moonlight hangs heavy over these hills tonight
Ethereal silver mist dissolving all that's mundane
A fairy tale landscapes defining this dale
Unseen things flitter seen barely from eye
Their unknown trajectory
From some other side

Rich velvet shadows float darkly, no sound
Childhood exuberance echoes around
An ordinary room conducts taps and those cracks
Sparkling with something that's trying to get back
To what and to where ?
Its deviations abound
Like rain on my window
A familiar sound.

Having just experienced a super moon and a lunar eclipse, I found my mind cast back to this poem I wrote a while ago. Ive tried to capture the magic that a moonlight night fills me with and exactly what it is about one in the valley where I live, that's just so special !
