Today’s been tough. Emotions all over the show. I found myself envying the Queen her letting go of all of life’s struggles recently…
Yes, a tougher day today than of late.
But one thought runs like a lifeline through it.
“Come to the infinite dimension.”
From a dismal beginnings it’s become like spending a day with The Ancient One! (Ninja mystic monk-sorceress in Marvel’s Dr Strange.) Beaten up regularly but always restored. Life being ruthless, yet kind…
What if there were no past, no future? What if there were only now?
What difference would that make to you?
A few days ago, in journaled conversation with my Self* I asked for insight to lift my spirits. As ever, I received a thought that helped, swiftly. It has been a mainstay for the past week. It was, like always, a quiet, understated thought, slipping softly into my mind like the gentlest of sea breezes, blowing in from somewhere other than the shores of my own mind. From where exactly? Impossible to say. I know what I choose to believe…

If you were ever a fan of ‘The Fast Show’, you’ll remember a great character, Jesse, who appeared every week. His one-liner, delivered to perfection, became part of our daily dialogue at home.
The camera would pan in on a dilapidated shed, with a subtitle along the lines of ‘This week’s nutritional advice’ on the screen. Jesse — played by the wonderful Mark Williams — looking like a hairy sack of turnips, would emerge from the shed, shuffle a bit, like an awkward infant on a nativity stage and then say to the camera with great seriousness, something along the lines of:
“This week, I ar’ be mostly eatin’ carrots.”
