In response to "Sweet Stuff"

King of the world is from Titanic, Houston, we have a problem is from Apollo 13, Show me the money is from Jerry Macquire and Sugar and Spice is the movie title.

You did a great job creating a fun story using the phrases. I would enjoy a gourmet food truck that went house to house but my waistline would object immensely.

In response to "Giving and Getting"

Kåre เลียม Enga

Exactly. Balance and boundaries would do better. Yes, "letting go" is a great idea.

In response to "Giving and Getting"

Two B words come to mind:

balance and boundaries

I'm not great at either.

Another G word to add to giving and getting:

Letting go.

In response to "Understanding One's Own Self and Shadow Work"

I did some work with Roger but eventually found that journaling and doing some shadow work independently I discovered that I didn't see myself as valuable or worthwhile, so I never advocated for myself. I've written a lot of letters to myself rehashing things that I've allowed to happen and what I could do differently so I've learned new habits and better approaches.

In response to "Understanding One's Own Self and Shadow Work"

So very true, I believe that we should have one pointed agenda. This I am trying very hard, to be a subject and all the things that are happening remains object. Though I have faced heavy resistance from within. I have maintained a diary and make a note of all objective things trying to be subjective. So as a witness consciousness I try with inherent effort to continue with all things happening as objective. I am planning to write a book on Self consciousness and a major role Ego and pride plays in our subconscious mind and body.

In response to "Objects Prompt"

I love the imagery, Joy. I only have one thought on the last line.

bathed in your warm hue, my world keeps its silence.

bathed in your warm hue, my world embraces its silence.

I think embraces stays with the intimacy more than keeps it.

Yes, I agree, Joy. I think we need to be vigilant all the time and not just with one group, but all. Well said.

In response to "On Negativity"

Negativity sometimes is a helpful learning tool as well as positivity. Until people feel the results they won't change for the better, unfortunately. I've seen how destructive negativity can be but I've also seen people who have never experienced bad things and in their well meaning positivity are oblivious and make no effort to help the changes needed.

"The Long and Winding Road"

Prompt:
"The Long and Winding Road" By The Beatles
Write about this line in your Blog entry today.

--------

I liked this song sung by the Beatles even when I first heard it. Soon it became the number one single. I can't recall the year except for the fact that I had recently married. It may just be that I don't remember what year anything was exactly, for fear of it pointing to my many years on this planet.

The song itself actually belongs to Paul McCartney, and understandably so because the lyrics point to only one point of view as it says, "You left me standing here / /A long, long time ago..." This sings of a bittersweet goodbye.

Still, I can detect a sense of hope despite all the sadness in McCartney's words. "Don’t leave me waiting here//Lead me to your door..."

Usually, a sensitive songwriter voices his own personal anguish. At the time, Paul McCartney may just have been doing that for feeling sad about the direction of his own life. There is also a strong nostalgia about a relationship and experiences and the idea of a lonely future, which is quite easy to detect. Some say this points to the breakup of the Beatles, but the song itself makes me think there is a lot more of something personal in it.

At least, for me, this song has become personal in many ways.
