Pogue, I thought after managing to shoehorn in a quote from the Bernie Taupin/Elton John creation, Border Song, in my Monday Musings it would be unforgivable to end the week without sharing the whole thing with you. Another song that is significantly older than you. 1970! Their first single I believe and the herald of … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now.

Virginity
There are many virgins in the world,Inexperience disguised as plausible innocenceHolding back possible experience,Pushing back against progress,Against the enrichment of our lives.Life is put off and time is lost,Fear, that impostorBecomes entrenched and grows,It’s grip increasing the denialOf enriching lives.And you?You think of the giving of a body,Me?I’m thinking of the giving of a mind,The … Continue reading Virginity
Monday Musing
Morning Pogue, I love a conspiracy theory, not that I’m given to believing them. Well, not most of them. But every now and then along comes a supposed conspiracy that has just enough tangible content to make me stop and ponder. Like, that does sound plausible and, I’ve wondered that for quite a while. Not … Continue reading Monday Musing

Monday Musing
Hi Pogue, This Monday morning I’d like to commence the week with a single word, Grace. For many the mention of Grace will conjure up the images of movement of some kind. A dancer, a creature in motion, a moment of calm yet directed action that often seems to be without effort, more an out … Continue reading Monday Musing

Do We?
Pogue, Over time I’ve read a lot about how we can manifest the things in life that we desire. This has come at a variety of levels. The easiest to understand is the Dream Board which, for the uninitiated, is a place where we put images that remind us of and help us define our … Continue reading Do We?
I Forget
I forget more than I rememberSometimes genius is lost along the pathAs I wander with no particular directionThrough the woodsAnd through my thoughtsThere’s so much I want to knowTo untangle with my mindBut a creature on the path breaks my attentionAnd the thread is snatched away Like a kite freed on the windI no longer … Continue reading I Forget
Monday Musing
Morning Pogue, This week I’ve been answering the question “Do you trust me?” in my head as it would relate to other people. I think I’m a pretty trusting soul and perhaps have a tendency to overlook the faults and failings of others. I’m also willing to disregard my history with the person to enable … Continue reading Monday Musing
Three Miles Out
Three miles out and caught on the wind,Drifting,Drifting as serenely as a cloud,Harmless,Peaceful,Yet filled with potentialThe potential of a malevolent stormThe potential to surpass expectationThe potential to be transformedFrom serenity to chaos,Resting sure in this knowledge of subdued power,The prospect of things not yet seen in me,To rip through the complacency,Smiling in unrepentant joySo self … Continue reading Three Miles Out
