grahamm44: January 2015
http://child2100.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Follow Graham on Twitter. Tuesday, January 27, 2015. Haiku on Quickly/ Give/ Space/ Learn. Hiding under lotus leaves. Her breath came quickly. As she opened the front door. He was back from war. The old school bell tolls. Small children line up quickly. A to Z Conga. Give love this Christmas. Such a priceless little gift. That could last all year. Give words, I will know. Give me work, and I will live. Give love, I will grow. Give up on despair. Give out some positive vibes. Give in and be loved. Bum-har...

grahamm44: Transverse Myelitis and Mindfulness
http://child2100.blogspot.com/2015/05/transverse-myelitis-and-mindfulness.html
Follow Graham on Twitter. Friday, May 22, 2015. Transverse Myelitis and Mindfulness. Just began to read Dr. Norman Doidge’s new book “The Brain’s way of Healing”, having rescued it from my wife, who could not put it down, and kept saying: “Wow, really? But the cases are persuasive, and mention a wide range of perhaps ‘alternative’ therapies – including the use of low dose laser therapy, massage developed by the FeldenKreis school, and a whole lot more. You will have to read the book...For me there seemed...

grahamm44: Taking Charge (4)
http://child2100.blogspot.com/p/taking-charge-4.html
Follow Graham on Twitter. Taken from the book: Taking Charge: a journey of recovery. Available for purchase (post and download) at http:/ www.familyconcernpublishing.com.au. So what is that all about? Why would you ask a nurse with all that training and qualification to come into the room and pick up a grape? 8221; she said. I suppose by touching the cup, and consuming the contents, I had somehow contaminated the thing. (This fetish about cleanliness is explored elsewhere). On another occasion, he asked ...

grahamm44: February 2015
http://child2100.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Follow Graham on Twitter. Monday, February 23, 2015. Haiku on Beg/ Stare/ Tell/ Pry. Open and raw wound. Begs for any healing salve. No energy left to beg. He has had his chips. If I had to beg. Grovelling on poor old knees. T'would be for world peace. You stare at my face. Stares at my face knowingly. Wonder what she knows. If you can judge your true self. You may judge others. Tim’s telling tall tales. Tell or not to tell. Schoolyard bully does not care. I have the power. Wood smoke in the air. Links t...

grahamm44: May 2015
http://child2100.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Follow Graham on Twitter. Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Haiku on Dark/ Cold and Hide/ Break/ and Others. Dancing in the dark. Oh sorry, was that your foot? Not so good at this. We have had dark times. Together we both survived. And sought out the light. Sitting in the dark. Letting troubled mind wander. Helps retrieve the light. Time to hide under covers. And share some stories. In cold morning light. Peering out from the bird hide. We see some cute chicks. Cold sore on my lip. Taking a small break. This is all...

grahamm44: Haiku on Please/ Settle/ Improve/ Bare
http://child2100.blogspot.com/2015/05/haiku-on-please-settle-improve-bare.html
Follow Graham on Twitter. Sunday, May 17, 2015. Haiku on Please/ Settle/ Improve/ Bare. If it pleases you. Then it also pleases me. The Gods please themselves. That's why it rained on Sun day. And froze on Fry day. Please yourself, he said. Then stood by her, while watching. And learned quite a lot. The two of them snuggled up. For 'The Winter's Tale. Feel just like a dog. Go round and round the basket. Sit in quiet space. Let all your thoughts flow and ebb. To settle your mind. Rise above my former self.

grahamm44: March 2015
http://child2100.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Follow Graham on Twitter. Friday, March 20, 2015. Haiku on Save/ Choose/ Snow/ Better/ Down. His whisper soft in her ear. Save me the last dance. Fund is running low. Charity not on today. Need save the fund fund. He saved in a piggy bank. Coins now out of date. Some people choose pain. Atoning for perceived sins. It can make things worse. You choose not to believe that. But is it your choice? Each pathway in life. Choose not to actively choose. We still travel on. Rhythmic crunch of boots. Onto the morn...

grahamm44: September 2014
http://child2100.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Follow Graham on Twitter. Saturday, September 20, 2014. Haiku on Hope/ Force/ Battle/ Tremendous. The world's ways will change. Faith, hope, charity. Tell that to an abused child. Twisted by their past. Hope this finds you well. I had a great birthday, thanks. In the face of force. Bend to the prevailing wind. Like a blade of grass. Do not force issues. You might be wasting your breath. State your case and wait. Old healed battle scars. In worlds full of crap. Ah, but can we win the war? I am not angry.

grahamm44: October 2014
http://child2100.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Follow Graham on Twitter. Wednesday, October 29, 2014. Haiku on Close/ Believe/ Tell/ Nothing. I'm scratching my head. Point close to the confusion. In my struggling brain. Close your mind gently. Settle it down next to mine. Then switch off the light. Children brought up close. One travels Spain, one Japan. Peer out the window. Winter sun warming the view. I believe it's cold. Holding their bright heads up high. They believe in bees. Peace full garden lunch. Does not believe us. Please tell me the truth.
