I was the sunshine that cradled your day
that tried to push the clouds away
I was the sand that ran between your toes
when you were four years old
that soon became the rain you danced in
from seven to eleven
And I watched you grow in the glow
of a moon that beamed
when you turned thirteen
How unfair you thought I’d become
when you turned twenty-one
because you lost a few dreams
But I stayed awake when you were out late
I was the stars ’till you turned twenty-eight
And when you found your love
“the one”
I was glimmer in the eye, the blue sky, the sun
Then you turned thirty-one
I became cloud, thunder and shower
there weren’t enough minutes to put in your hour
You forgot how to dance in the rain
’till you turned forty all you did was complain
Then you took off your shoes
and went back to the sand
I was now the warmth of your child’s hand
At forty-three
you spent more time with me
You began
to understand
And when you stood fifty years old
you stayed warm to me even though
at times I was cold
How close we grew
when you turned sixty-two
The breeze was I
that hung your grandchild’s kite in the sky
And I’m sorry I made you sad
when I took “the one” away
But I was proud
when you pushed aside that cloud
and cradled ‘me’ in the sun
for the remainder of our day

05Ponder - Do We Live On A Planet Or Something Else?
Tagged Under : ego, existance, galaxy, Life, philosophy, planet, space, time, universe
As human nature goes we often wonder what we are, who we are and what our place is in the Universe. It would be totally egocentric to think that we are alone in the universe and we are the center of it all. We would be no better than when they thought the world was flat and the Sun orbited the Earth. So where do we fit in? Better yet where do we exist?

22To Be A Person - Morton Lauridsen, Jaffa Cakes & 79p
Tagged Under : Art, artist, classical music, hope, human, itunes, Life, matt brown, person, personhood, philosophy, quicktime
I awoke to the sounds of Morton Lauridsen – a renowned (and living, by most accounts) American composer - and if you spend 79p today spend it on O Magnum Mysterium at iTunes.
I challenge anyone not to be uplifted by its climax. I also challenge you to eat a packet of Jaffa Cakes in under a minute. It’s up to you. But one will make you feel a lot better than the other.

What is up in your Think Tank? Oh, you say you are not in a Think Tank, well, why not, you seem to like to think right? Perhaps you might enjoy some of the things we discussed in our Think Tank this week, as our topics are so diverse and interesting. For instance, we are all consumers in a way, even if some of us are somewhat minimalists. Have you ever considered why we have so many products are being recalled.
My Product Has Been Recalled; What is a Recall and What is Really Going on?
