Thank you for sharing abram. Those momentary gifts of words are sure something when they hit you!

Hey Kev

Hope you’re well?

And no bother at all! I have been busy myself as of late tending to life’s chores and battling off a strange set of symptoms. I sincerely appreciate you commenting so extensively on my piece of writing. It really means alot from across the pond. The line ‘age finding its splendid grace’ was also pointed out to me by some other internet people so thanks for that.

I have no issue at all with the whole ‘back in my day’ turn of phrase. The soul still lives in the pasts that have passed us by and is nourished by the reminising of times that can only be understood by mutual benefactors. It was joyful to listen to these two old boys pontificate about their time in the trenches. Its important to us all old and young. All of us are mulch.

All I can say to this Kev Is I can RELATE! The shower comment had me laughing as I have done this sooo many times!

This explanation gives me alot of clarity around my own process. And I can totally agree with the poems that to the rational mind seem just like pure nonsense being espoused. It appears to me that the rational mind is both a blessing and a curse in the creative arena. It has too many expectations of itself and others.

However, I try to trust what the pysche is gifting me. Like Jackson Pollock I let the words paint themselves on the empty canvas regardless of sense or nonsense. Usually when I come back to re-reading later on, like flecks of gold in a prospectors pan there are threads or whole poems in of themselves to be developed.

I have like you also tried to really force and edit and edit and I feel alot of the time things come out contrived. I do think alot of Poetry happens in the moment, when we sit idly too long trying to force the muses out from within, I think they know when we are being too demanding.

Lastly something I use if im ever caught out is the voice recorder on my phone. The shower (not so much) but in the car or any other activity that takes the mind into that all too wonderous meditative state; I make sure something is always on hand so I can get those golden threads down as quickly as possible!

[James]

Definitely not what nature intended Kev! Now what I want to know is, what in the hell do you do when you get the all too inconvienient internal words that begin falling into a poem? What happens when you do not have a pen and paper and you are caught out haha!? And did this fall quite easily without much editing?

P.s Especially like the lines about chaos and kicks my hearbeat.

The wondering world of the childs gaze how quickly it is torn from us. Beautiful thanks Kev.

[James]

Thanks for all the information here guys. Really helpful Im only just scratching the very beginning of electro culture.

What is the thought process behind taking both together? I’ve heard of Methyline Blue but unable to find any reliable sources here in the Uk. Thanks in advance.

Hi Katherine and thank you for sharing and my thoughts go out to your friends daughter.

While I am no doctor, I would nevertheless as one human to another like to offer my thoughts on this matter. I would like to suggest (if you haven’t done so already) the 12 Cell Salts and specifically the ones the child did not recieve in the womb during conception? Is the child taking these religiously and do you know their sun sign? Perhaps this maybe one piece to the proverbial puzzle right now.

Other than that I would suggest looking at germanic new medicine to see if you can glean what type of ‘Conflict’ the child has yet to resolve.

All the best

James

Kev! Yes sir you have nailed it most certainly on the head; and thank you for your interpretation its exactly what I was trying to get across here.

The real story to this poem was that I was sitting in my village square watching a family of four on a bench, gaze off into the distance. Some were chewing gum, they were dressed boldly in the colours of mass produced designer wear but on their faces a story of the soul awashed with grey.

[James]

I do have a front and back garden attached to my house. This will be the first year trying to grow my own food. I am making preparations as we speak!

[James]
