Excellent meditation, thank you.

You’re welcome Mark. I’m glad you found it worthwhile

It's about time folks pulled their heads out of their... navels!

I have been telling folks I have decided to "define my reality" as reality! (as though it were a choice, I know)

Thankyou Frank. I’ve been pondering on similar lines, but without your wisdom-infused knowledge.

Seems we’ve gobbled up the Rogerian ‘person centred story’ strategy to the bottom of the now empty bread bin and are stunned to find only a few dry crumbs left.

Now we are slowly beginning to understand it’s the other way around: we are story-centred people, or else, we are empty bread bins

Men do remember and the lights have not yet gone out. In the past, when they have done so, it was not the end. I rather think we are coming out of a dark age rather than entering one.

Indeed. The story of The Prodigal Son. When he was reduced to eating husks with the pigs, he ‘came to himself’ and returned to The Father, who saw him from afar and ran to embrace him. Divine Mercy. Lord have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Oh, Frank, we weren't finding fault. We thought it was a Catholic version of a Freudian slip. Your work is outstanding and much appreciated.

"We have been formed by the experiment of the long 20th cenutry"...When I saw the typo, I felt inspired to find words beginning with cenu. There are 3. They all refer to an infection, often fatal, mostly attacking sheep. Oh the irony. Pascendi Dominici Gregis but in the 20th century we've been fed poison.

Oh dear. I cleaned the keyboard the other day and it has been a bit iffy. Will try to do less badly in future. Sorry
