Tempori cedere habetur sapientis

[megwolff]

Gradually emerging from the undertow and feeling a bit cheerier. The older you get, the slower you are at adapting to change and it has taken me some time to orient myself in the ever-shifting work environment with its non-stop demands.  The vision of life is balancing up again, thank goodness.

• This week have been able to try and plan ahead at work

Dear heart --

What a lovely and sad poem. Sorry that your shoulder is ouching and you have work upheaval. May I put those issues on the prayer list? Life has been crazy here but I should be posting more in the near future.

Love -- Cedar

Hi Cedar! How goes all the moving in and the house re-arranging? Hope your family is enjoying the time together and the benefits of companionship.

Thanks for the offer of the prayers. I will say a big YES for help on the work problems. The bone spur in the shoulder joint will take time to get sorted, so I can work with it as a spiritual issue. As always your kindness is greatly appreciated.

I just loved the poem. When the author was reciting it, there was this wonderful rhythm and images of flying colour. Such a sad story but also a celebration of a fine culture as well. Glad you liked it. I know you are a bit of a poet yourself!

glad to hear you sounding so busy with things other than work! And what's with your shoulder and your lungs? Cortisone sounds pretty serious.
Thanks for the poem - I'm off into my day with visions of piles of brightly coloured rugs and a taste for mint tea :)

Hi! Are you enjoying being at home with the poodles? I bet Albany is beautiful today

ooh nasty shoulder story! It's awful not to be able to travel because of a sore shoulder - that's not fair! Look after yourself won't you.

Beautiful poem, love it.
It's good you work with someone that is like minded. If you can't change the world between you, at least you can moan together!
I loved Stephen Fry's Wilde. I love Stephen Fry, he's so clever and talented funny and yet struggles with bi-polar depression. I do feel for him.
Hope you enjoyed the Merchant of Venice.

Glad you liked the poem, I was rather transported by it. I have been a huge Fry fan for a long time. The ABC has only just shown his program on bi-polar over here recently - I had been hanging out to see it. A wonderful, generous gesture for him to make and an excellent examination of the issues. It is so hard to imagine, when we all love him so much, they he can have days filled with self loathing.

Merchant was a peaceful and enjoyable night out. The weather was superb for open air theatre - a big moon hanging low in the sky and a balmy temperature. Whilst it is not one of my favourite Shakespeare plays, the cast did a creditable job. We had a gentle stroll back from the University in the evening air.

Your evening sounds perfect. We probably have about 3 nights a year when we can sit comfortably in the open air to watch Shakespeare!
