For The Romantics
Sonnets from the Portuguese, #43
by Elizabeth Barrett-Browning (1850)
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints — I love with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! — and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Famous, or Maybe Infamous?
I have had one of my more humorous posts published in a book about Bloggers, along with a few other Notables, Scorpie, Just A Girl, to name a few.
And just to clear up a strengthening rumour -I am not an Australian man, pretending to be 3 other Australian men , Scorpie, Indy, Wombat ,who is pretending to be an Australian woman. (sorry Scorpie, I couldnt resist ,LOL)

WHAT HAVE WE BECOME?
It is a disease in society today, be nice, be kind, be patient, be spiritual.
What the majority of people don't realize is ,that attitude often create the 'predator-prey" mentality.
The violent regimes of this world regard it as weakness to be exploited.
We are all God, but not all of us are aware of that fact.
What that creates is a climate where Messianic maniacs like Mugabe can decimate,rape, kill,plunder and destroy their own county and people , and we in the free world sit back and do nothing.
We are so fearful of being seen as politically incorrect, that the basis premise of advanced life on this planet is forgotten.
THE STRONG PROTECT THE WEAK
In primitive cultures the strong attack the weak, the "predator-prey' syndrome.It is a sign of an advanced culture to protect those weaker than us, whether its people, animals, or our planet.
So we have the UN, who tries in their misguided fashion to reason with a madmen and mad regimes.
We have a situation in Burma, where we are begging and bargaining with corrupt generals to let us save their people.The generals are telling us they will let us save their people for 3 billion dollars.
What the fuck!@!!!They think we are stupid, and we actually are.
But the generals are smart, they realize that after 4 weeks or so, the dying starving people will be old news, and forgotten to the general public,so they wont really have a problem.
When will we realise that there is NO negotiating with despotic regimes?
They regard negotiating as weak, and a ploy for getting what they want.
Where the hell has common sense gone in this mad world?
People talk about the evilness of America invading Iraq.
The main problem was they weren't honest about it.
What they should have said is 'We cant afford to have the main oil, and world power supply in the the hands of extremists, so we will doctor up some excuse of weapons of mass destruction to take it".
This may seem like a very unpopular thing for me to say, but any one reading this, ask yourself, who would you want to be in charge of the worlds oil fields? And the associated power that brought?
American? Afghanistan, the Taliban ,Pakistan, the Mullahs ? Bin laden? I know who I would want.
Because if America didn't do what it did, you can bet it in a few years it would have been a very different world we now live in.
Think about it.
And mad dictators must be overthrown, wether we gain anything material from doing it or not.
....And unless we in the west, start taking real action, not the endless talking ,dissembling, discussing, crap that we now see, many more millions will die, in Burma, Sierra Leonie, Afghanistan, Africa.
We, in the western world, as a democratic powerful society, have a duty of care to protect these people, and to help them gain independance from repressive regimes.
Until we do, their will never be world peace, and we can protest, think positive thoughts, study Zen ,do affirmations till the cows come home, but until strong, moral, responsible action is taken, regardless of public opinion, we are guilty of being the one good man that does nothing.
This is OUR responsibility, OUR world, OUR people,OUR planet.
And we can let popular opinion rule, or stop being sheep and stand up for what we believe is right, no matter the religion, race, gender or nationality.

Good-bye
Hi Folks,
I am back from my retreat and have decided to stop blogging, I,m not sure if its forever, or just for a while.
The reason I started blogging, was due to certain problems with my partners film business, I had to leave what I had been doing for 15 years ( intuitive counseling)and put all my time and energy into changing the structure of the existing business, and also branching it into a new one.
I have been working on this full time for about 2 years now, and it is now stable, and the new one is ready to roll.
I also had to drop my prison rehab programs, my Indian orphanage program, and various workshops and groups I used to run.
This again isn't a whinge, just what had to be done.
So I felt very lonely.The world of SFX, and the military, whilst very interesting, didn't really have a lot of "me" there..So I started reaching out to others through the Internet.
It was a medium for me to express the parts of me that weren't being expressed in my day to day life.
The 'others' I met are a diverse bunch of people who have stunned me with their awareness, kindness, intelligence, humour, spirituality and compassion ( yes, You Guys) who's loving support I have felt and treasured from across the miles that separate us, and I have also made some deep personal friends along the way.
However the cyber world has been gradually taking over for a while now, and its time for me to withdraw from it and get back into what I need to do.
To all my much, much loved blog buddies out there, email me if you feel like it, and I want to say thank you, I love all of you, and if I am ever in your part of the world, or you mine, lets meet up and "do lunch".
I wish you all the very best this life has to offer,
Love Enigma
