It is good to remember that while every generation believes that it invented sex, every preceding generation forgets that it once believed the same thing.

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick on Wednesday shed very little light into the NFL's investigation of the organization for videotaping the Cincinnati Bengals' sideline this past weekend. Belichick was rather curt with reporters, marking the third straight day in which he was asked about a team videographer who was caught filming the Bengals' sideline during Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns.
When asked whether the scout involved was aware of the rules that he can't film from the press box, Belichick said the following: "He was doing his job. That's what he was doing, he was doing his job. Like we all tried to do. That's what the football team, the football staff and the coaching staff did last week was try to do their job for Kansas City, and then Cincinnati, and then Buffalo next week and that's it. A reporter asked a follow-up question, to which Belichick offered a quick response. "I just answered the question. That's it. We have no involvement in it. Zero," Belichick said.When asked if he had heard from the league, Belichick tried to put an end to the line of questioning. Sound familar? If this isn't taking a page out of Trump's playbook I don't know what is! |
Greta Thunberg - 11 December 2019, in Spain
Quote:
Actually, at a recent UN meeting, quite a few of the delegates representing other countries didn't even stay for her speech... There are a lot of evil people just like Trump - who btw isn't an idiot [he is a very clever so-and-so.... (cough!) ] - who don't like what she is saying and doing, because of their materialistic choices and vested interests, because of their greed, their selfishness, their ambition, and their general lack of moral/ethical character, etc. Trump - like many people who are or could easily be classified as sexist/misogynist narcissist/sociopath/psychopath - will trash anyone, especially any woman (young or old) speaking with passion. I don't think his malicious lies (which are nothing more than fake news) are worth repeating. On the other hand, part of Greta's speech is worth repeating: "Greta, who inspired the school strikes for the climate movement, said: 'The biggest danger is not inaction; the real danger is when politicians and CEOs are making it look like real action is happening, when in fact almost nothing is being done apart from clever accounting and creative PR.' She said the science showed that, at the current rate of emissions, the world is set to use up the whole 'carbon budget' - the amount of pollution that can be put into the atmosphere and still keep global warming to 1.5C - in eight years." She said: 'Finding holistic solutions is what the COP should be all about, but instead it seems to have turned some kind of opportunity for countries to negotiate loopholes and to avoid raising their ambition.' 'Countries are finding clever ways around having to take real action, like double-counting emissions reductions, and moving emissions overseas, and walking back on their promises to increase ambitions, or refusing to pay for solutions or loss and damage. This has to stop.' |

"Music is the cup of wine that fills the silence," ~ Robert Fripp (King Crimson, Frippertronics)
Quoted on Rosemary & Thyme S3 E1: The Cup of Silence |
"The happiest people I've ever met, regardless of their profession, their social standing, or their economic status, are the people who are fully engaged in the world around them. The most fulfilled people are the ones who get up every morning and stand for something larger than themselves. They are the people who care about others, who extend a helping hand to someone in need or will speak up about injustice when they see it."
~ Wilma Pearl Mankiller. |

Desiderata
This poem has guided me for many years.
Desiderata GO PLACIDLY amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. By Max Ehrmann © 1927 |
The Night Has a Thousand Eyes
The Night Has a Thousand Eyes
Francis William Bourdillon (b. 1852) THE NIGHT has a thousand eyes, And the day but one; Yet the light of the bright world dies With the dying sun. The mind has a thousand eyes, 5 And the heart but one; Yet the light of a whole life dies When love is done. |

Invictus
Invictus
BY WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. |
A Favourite
Pablo Neruda
“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.” ― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets |
