The Job

From protecting the vulnerable to travelling in space.
Each person has their own path. ...
Collectively we should care for the planet, to ensure our survival, and that of the planet itself.
For some it is climbing mountains, for others it is climbing out of bed each day. 

 What ever challenge you meet, meet it head on. Do your bit. Follow your path.

The big battles for the earth, the flora and fauna, for freedom and security, the displaced and vulnerable, are fought in high places.
The people in those high places shape The World.

The battles the rest of us take on do not shape The World. They shape Our World.

Our job is to exist in our world, caring for and supporting others where we can, loving wherever we can, to cause no harm, until we are no longer here.

sunday solitude - poem



Rhododendron - Holdsworth Avenue Oct 2013

Alone again
Endless hours stretching the day
Filled with nothingness and quiet...
Motivation seeps round the corners
Bursting into action briefly
Achieving small tasks
That don’t matter at all
Touching no-one’s lives
Wandering along with precious dogs
Going nowhere, just stretching legs
Parks and pavements pounded
Restless need to be out of the house
Where there are people,
Noise, and lives lived
By those that are not
Alone.

Catherine Ryan Hyde

I have found a new author to read. Catherine wrote Pay it Forward and since I am a big fan of the concept I was delighted to find she has written plenty of other books. I'm reading one on my Kindle at the moment about Inspiration.

It is based on metaphors taken from hiking.

She hikes.. and man does she hike.. Like the Grand Canyon type of hiking ... it sounds like it is her main pass time.. and it makes sense that you can draw inspiration from the achievements of Hiking up hills.

There is no way I would like to do that , but I can understand that pushing herself past being uncomfortable has given her joy and taken her to many places you cant get to except on foot.

 the chapter I am on at the moment is about doing what you say you will do and then again when the need arises being realistic enough to not do it when it is not in your interests.

I don't like making plans for things that will never happen, and I hate hearing about what people are GUNNA do.. Its so much better hearing what they Have Done. So I can understand that it is better to do what you say you will do, so that you can be seen as a doer not a dreamer. and to be able to know in yourself that you will achieve what you set out to.
