Nothing
I arrived in Brno, Czech Republic in late summer 2006 with a small suitcase. Everything else was left in Houston – car included. It was then I learned something truly important…… I DID NOT MISS ANY OF THOSE THINGS! I did miss people. My sons, my friends. But the stuff? The car I had dreamed of. The big house. Swimming pool. Nope. All I needed was the a change of clothes, my tooth brush, a few photos and my phone. A place to stay and some food. Amazed. I was.

I was walking down Gorton Rd, Willerby, on my way to school one morning when the most amazing car I had ever seen went by. It was 1974 and I had just seen a 2-seater Mercedes Benz pass by. I would never forget. Several years later, living in The Woodlands, Texas in my big 4 bed home with $50k swimming poll, gazebo, Mercedes SUV and everything one could ever really want, I realized my car lease was almost up. I called the leasing company and enquired after the dream…. a 2-seater Mercedes convertible. To my amazement, I found that I could indeed afford one. A month later, it arrived. It was beautiful. Metallic silver with an automatic retractable roof that folded into the trunk. Patent leather black interior and that

Today, I took some time and went to Opava. It is only a couple of hours from Brno, but I have delayed the trip too many times. I went in search of Franz Bardon.. Frantisek Bardon in Czech… and I found him. His grave is located in Opava Kylesovice. Standing by his grave, I found the atmosphere calm, peaceful, but electric… The grave is very well kept as well. There was, for me, a definite presence… Having paid my respects, I looked for his house located close by the cemetery and I believe this is it… based on Martin Faulks video... I then went into town and hunted down his flat, place of birth and lab… This photo is of the street in which he had

‘All is as it should be’ – Is it? Actually, it probably is. We tend to think of ourselves moving through time consciously making decisions that impact our future selves and the world around us. The more likely truth is that we are creatures of habit and subconscious desires and habits. We are unbalanced and our physical, emotional and mental bodies are unaligned or we are simply not in control. Free will? I have come to the conclusion that for the normal person, we probably have little or no free will. If time is a construct of the mind – and increasingly the evidence from all sides suggests that it is – then how can we have free will? More likely our entire life is already mapped and plotted and rather

Tracks across the sky Scars of modern travel Highways in the air A line to follow you there A silver bird migrating To summer’s golden shores Arrows flying straight and true Arriving to take off yet anew Looking down from up on high The globe’s curves miraculous Jagged peaks and darkened seas Warmer climes or a winter freeze Passing by at the speed of sound Until we slow to return to ground Leaving, on a jet plane Leaving, never to come back again Away I go So Bye bye

I really think I should be saying something but the words wont come Guess I am shocked or surprised Or a little of both besides So much I want to say but the words won’t come I find I am in a calm silence Perhaps the one before the storm? Who knows? but I know the words will not come Perhaps something inside me is simply broken? Perhaps I have just understood And am resigned to what will be Since I cannot make you see and the words will not come Perhaps its just that things are so clear That I will always hold you dear Perhaps just that its so obvious That you now seem oblivious that my words would be wasted anyway And there is little that I

I think what Donald Trump needs is a good haircut. I know that his current ‘do’ is iconic and sort of his trademark, but seriously, a new style would really help him out. To me, he emulates Yorkshire’s own Arthur Scargill and he was an utter failure too who never understood that his hair was the real issue standing in his way to power. You see, hair is important. Donald obviously has understood this and perhaps believes that it represents his strength and manliness: a bit like that guy in the old testament. Perhaps he thinks that if he has it cut shorter, it will somehow stunt his manhood? I reckon, Donald would look good in a mohican or perhaps a Kojak styling? He could even go so far as
