Good Morning!

[TAB]

I imagine house sitting would just about need to know someone these days. @Former-Member  caravan park is always full eg. Maybe I could head back to the country

@TAB Google "House Sitting Australia" and there are lots of websites devoted to matching people with housesitters you don't need to know people you just register online

Okay @Former-Member

Good morning @TAB @StuF @Former-Member @Former-Member @MDT 

I have been catching up on recent thread. Lots of relevant conversations happening. I have to agree, that many of the mental health problems we experience are largely attributed to lack (in all forms)rather than so called biology. 

In my living situation, I am 'technically  homeless', although I am afforded a roof over my head, a warm bed, things I am always grateful for. 

Having spent much of time during my adult years amongst people living with experience of mental health conditions, one thing I have found true (& opposing to stereotypes) is that, a common trait amounts those struggling, is kindness. There seems to be an understanding of the hardships of life (something the elite clearly do not get) amongst this community. 

I am currently sitting in mental health service waiting room. Each client that ways thru the door, says 'please, thankyou', as they talk to reception ladies.

I cannot imagine this polite, authentic behaviour in 'high flying corporate' settings!

Maybe, it's my silly mind, trying to make positives out of misery! Sometimes, I can't help but feel rich!! getting to see, the unseen & what they/we Really have to offer the world.

I don't know the answers to poverty & inequality. I don't have the power to change it. The only way thru, or the thing I can do in my insignificant place in the planet is focus on what is important to me. Promote & acknowledge kindness. Feel gratitude that my position allows expression of this cool human quality.

Peace ✌️

@maddison thank-you for your thoughts on this topic.  I believe there is a humaness about the mentally ill. In his works Wilhelm Reich a psychoanalysist said the mentally ill approximate more what are normal human characteristics compared to those with neurosis.  He referred to the mentally ill as the "Peer Gynts" of the world - carefree, genuine and soulful ❤️

the Troll King ? 

[maddison]

Ur welcome @Former-Member & thanks for enlightening me with thoughts from the history's masters! I had heard of Reich! I didn't recognise my knowledge of Peer Gynt without @TAB video. Thanks, I am slightly smarter today now.

Someone, smarter with better words has always said everything before! Funny how we experience life as though we are original... Actually, your references @Former-Member give me some comfort that my thinking is not too wildly obscure. Thanks♥️

[maddison]

I really like your word of humaness @Former-Member This is so true. Great that others can see this too♥️

Nice posting of the In the Hall of the Mountain King @TAB 🙂

How's your day been?

[TAB]

Yeah I remember seeing sheet music for it in Ernie Ball guitar book @StuF lol Um , not been outside yet. Had a few naps. No contact from work (?) so guess I either have to ring .. er someone and spell things out to them or just drive there, go into semi stealth mode , grab my tools and take them home. I cant imagine I could go back to work without a medical clearance. Im not sure if they realise whats going on. I need direction or just do things my way ie run away. Maybe thats what they want
