Time it was and what a time it was...A time of innocence; a time for confidences.
Long ago it must be; I have a photograph.
Preserve your memories; they're all that's left you........

Now that's what I call DIFFERENT! I hope there will be a lot more like this.
If my travels land me on the shores of Portugal, I'd love to spend the day taking pictures together...and perhaps share a cup of coffee (or wine) at some outdoor cafe.
Hey Peter, thank you for your words. I'm in need of a sense of 'people out there' this morning. Deffo coffee, it's still too early for anything else. I like this idea of meeting in this far-away, dusty corner of Time & A Word. We can chat in 'peace', eh? Is that wwhy you've distanced yourself so far from the top end, I wonder?
And I am galvanised for some action of my own kind extreme kind through this medium today. It's been building for days, in fact. There are motives: foremost is the knowledge that time is running out. Yes, it is always running out, but I mean for me. Wherever the personal edge is, the personal front-line, i am almost there. I will soon be homeless and I intend to use this blog to make a noise right in the face of a materialist farce and a hypocritical bunch of illusory tricks called Christmas. I just can't stand it anymore; this year, things are now just too acute for me. And it IS better to explode than to fade away. I'm just like everyone else in that I am imperfect, with many faults. But at least I know them and acknowledge them. i am unlike most others in just about every other possible way. I have done my bit to be 'good'. It has brought me immense, abstract wealth in terms of people and relationships. Now I'm getting tired because of the extent and effects of my marginalisation. So I will make a swansong blitz of visual/textual statements, to use this space while there is still time & I still have an audience. I am not happy when I feel that they don't like the 'dark', that they take the choice enabled by the fact they this space almost exclusively belongs to the half of the population with the means to enter & use it. Mankind is separated from the rest of the animal kingdom by - among other things - the fact that ithas the power of decision & choice. not in equal measures, sure...and it is relative. But if I sense that they like the'light' and will turn off from the 'dark', then I get mad. The fact is, we can't do a lot about it. i want your campaign to have as wide an audience and active response - even if critical - as possible. But I ask myself "Where is everybody? Is it because of the suspension of normality due to the need for Xmas shopping that there seems tobe fewre people this week surfing around the blogosphere?". Well, if so, then I intend to do what I've done before & use e-mail to get people back. If they don't react, then they will leave an awful taste of deceit and hypocrisy in my mouth. In the past, some have said stuff like "I can't face/bear to think about this or that", or "I don't know what to say...". I can be too exigent, maybe. 'Cos that is never good enough for me, not after all I have seen or had to confront. Luxury of choice again. We want to relax, not worry, be happy, and look at how beautiful the world is. Blind: Most beautiful images are about what nature provides; the ugly stuff is man-made. HEY, THAT'S US!!! HELLO!!!! Wake up! We make that - the Iraqs, the homeless guy, the street-children, the destruction of the ozone layer, the extinction of fauna & flora, the drive-by shootings, etc.etc.etc. You see, I'm mad already...my 'Defiant & Angry'. Gotta go now! Stay in touch & if you want to mail (removed from blog after I received a death-threat comment on 3 October - true! Got the evidence to prove who did it too, but I'm not into revenge, so desisted from using my contact in the police unit investigating internet crimes)it's stewinout@gmail.com. I wish you a productive weekend, wherever you are in the Free World!
I'm truly sorry for the delay in writing you back. Reading over everything written above, it's difficult for me to find just the right words to answer all the thoughts...ideas...statements...and more importantly...feelings contained in this POST.
I believe that true Peace starts from within...
It's a battle that I've been waging inside of my own heart and mind for a very long time.
Then I began asking myself...What If?
I believe that the spirit of good rests inside all of us.
Is there nothing that Swiss Tony wouldn't do to get a new angle on Lisbon? Nowhere he wouldn't go?

Very nice pic!

Once again...thank you!

It's my hope that your health improves and your passion for life continues to touch this world.
Cast a small stone into the water...
and perhaps one day...
a powerful wave will splash itself upon
another distant shore.
The world is a much better place because of you!
I'm grateful that one of your countless waves has crashed itself upon my doorstep.
So, coffee or wine?

I'm truly sorry for the delay in writing you back. Reading over everything written above, it's difficult for me to find just the right words to answer all the thoughts...ideas...statements...and more importantly...feelings contained in this POST.

I believe that the spirit of good rests inside all of us.
Thus, I will always have hope for better days...
Perhaps next year, the idea of observing a moment of Peace will spread its way around our world.
Mankind needs a new message of hope...
Thank You and Stay Gold!
