                                            The Power Of Three                                                                                                                                              



      Sometimes events occur one after the other, unfortunately. They come in threes, in my case, the third event a broken wrist, tripping over an inappropriately placed wooden miniature post, outside an Eco Shop. What a bad piece of luck, but hopefully, that's the end of it for a long time. All events linked to the cold, energy, surgery and food. At least I can type with my fingertips, or would be bored out of my mind. Pain has been around now for three months, incredible! All one can do is laugh. Anyway, spring is here, cold and dry. At least the flowers are growing. The birds fly, and life is not so bad. Life is full of decisions, which are difficult to deal with or face up to. Sometimes it gets really difficult. Many find, due to recessions,  freedom to follow a dream has been snatched away. Alternatives have to be developed or found. Whether it is a hobby or a way of life. A relationship or house, divorce or stay. Time is of the essence, sometimes, make a decision without delay. Or take time and way up the balance.

       Am at the stage of weighing up the balance, it is not pleasant. But then again, matters are very unpleasant for many, war, pollution, incredible injustice. so deciding your path has to be put in perspective.
The personality clash in a relationship is something, which after time may subside, but for some, finding common ground is difficult. Family, my children are my common ground, then it is a case of live and let live. At least Art is a great escape? or channel to follow. I berate my lack of courage in going it alone, but the economic landscape is not very encouraging. It is such an annoyance, time and lives, discoveries and talents all not free, to follow a dream. Of course, this is only happening a certain amount of people in the West. It is a modern age, yet 19th century banking, monetary bubble stings, austerities etc, lay waste, a joke in this the 21st century. Some people?, investors lack imagination, no innovative skills worth talking about, other than the fee/scale tollgate bank model. Pathetic. And these were experienced bankers at the top. In the meantime banking/QE funds GMO, Fracking and nuclear. Protesters are now using direct action. Wondered what it was, appears, it is a form of suffragette protest. Locked onto structures etc. many brave women of all ages, coming out to lend their presence. Chained to a doorpost, blocking a tractor or some such machine. I admire their commitment , their fear driving their citizens action, peacefully of course.
