Middle Age Ramblings: Flourish or Struggle
http://miruspeg.blogspot.com/2015/07/flourish-or-struggle.html
Saturday, 18 July 2015. Like plants, to some degree, all of us struggle or flourish according to where we are positioned. Our lives can be hard or easy depending on where the pot is placed. Most of us, I think, have had this experience: behaving quite differently according to the people in the room at the time. With some people we feel in perpetual shadow; with others, the sunlight seems to angle in and we are aglow. Why, then, don't we strive harder to move into the sun? John Lennon - Instant Karma.

Middle Age Ramblings: Paradoxes of Life
http://miruspeg.blogspot.com/2015/01/paradoxes-of-life.html
Wednesday, 21 January 2015. It's one of the great paradoxes of human psyche.we want to be left in our comfort zones and yet we thrive on the experience of being taken out of them! Our intuitive understanding of that is why, even among the most settled and comfortable of us, there's a lurking desire for something to happen. Perhaps that helps explain a fundamental contradiction in our attitudes to this thing called. Most of us would say we SHOULD be trying to strike a balance between the two but why does ...

Middle Age Ramblings: The Jacaranda Tree and the Power Lines
http://miruspeg.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-jacaranda-tree-and-power-lines.html
Wednesday, 6 November 2013. The Jacaranda Tree and the Power Lines. November in Sydney is a picturesque time because of the Jacaranda Tree. Streets are awash with the magnificent purple-blue blooms of Jacarandas as they put on a breathtaking floral display, later falling to the earth carpeting the ground with a mass of colour. It is said that if you are walking underneath the Jacaranda tree and one of the trumpet blossoms falls on your head you will be favoured by fortune. 7 November 2013 at 00:24. Thank...

Middle Age Ramblings: Window Into Another World
http://miruspeg.blogspot.com/2015/06/window-into-another-world.html
Sunday, 21 June 2015. Window Into Another World. We're told we're hiding in the shadow of others if we don't "achieve" as much as we could. Also shadows are said to be where bad people lurk! But shadows are the essence of something far more meaningful than a reflection of physical form. Shadows are the corners of our mind the light of reason rarely touches. They offer a window into another world. The world of eternal darkness that all too many of us love to fear. I love her work. Debra She Who Seeks.

Middle Age Ramblings: Spiritual Virtual Reality
http://miruspeg.blogspot.com/2015/07/spiritual-virtual-reality.html
Thursday, 2 July 2015. Dreamland is the original cyberspace, our own built-in spiritual virtual reality. Our dreams take us into other worlds, alternative realities that help us make sense of day-to-day life. Dreaming is a connection to our unconscious, to our selves. It is to be treasured. Isn't it extraordinary that an activity which takes up so much of our lives is so often relegated into the realms of unimportance. We are based on dreams, they are our centre. I should dream some more today, nice post!

Middle Age Ramblings: Blessings of Small Things
http://miruspeg.blogspot.com/2014/12/blessings-of-small-things.html
Sunday, 28 December 2014. Blessings of Small Things. Why are we so hungry for bad news? Why do we spend so much time contemplating one moment of horror and so little time thinking about what is right with the world? When Alfred Hitchcock was asked, ' How long can you show a couple kissing on a bed? His answer was: ' As long as you like, providing there's a bomb ticking under it.' In other words, fear is an easy emotion to arouse and then maintain. When people say ' count your blessings' , or invite you t...

Middle Age Ramblings: The Dressing Gown
http://miruspeg.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-dressing-gown.html
Monday, 28 October 2013. Ah the comfy dressing gown. There is no more apt uniform of sloth than the dressing gown. Merely owning one is a sign of hope. A signal of slovenly intent! Dressing gowns accompany the state of doing nothing, but what are we actually doing when we're doing nothing? That's what we're doing. Society fears the population with time to think. Populations like that have been known to change things. This is why the dressing gown is the true uniform of REVOLUTION. 29 October 2013 at 01:33.
