Becoming
Humans are only raw material. We are all Becoming. Saint or Devil, your choice.
Chapter 38: Living The Life On The Patio
Admittedly My priorities are just a tad unusual. This video podcast highlights two of my priorities. The need to have somewhere to sit and think. The need of something in my life that will help me to focus on the future.

A tranquil tropical garden setting where I vocalize my usually peaceful random thoughts

This That And The Other Thing April 22 2022
A gentle fireside chat with the Russian people. News about our garden and the primary reason I'm podcasting rather than Typing. For the photography that goes with the thoughts visit my blog, Brian's Folly And Conceits.

Vignette 1: Why A Podcast Rather Than A Blog
If Microsoft hadn't arbitrarily locked my account I wouldn't be here. But they did and I need a way to tell the stories that have, for better or worse, shaped me. This podcast is my introduction.
Journeying Into The Twilight Of My Life ~ Dementia And All The Other Stuff
You can find my blog with my photography (some rather good images even if I do say so myself) at https://brianwaddington.blogspot.com/ Todays episode is about our garden, our new Black and tan Doberman puppy, photography, Dementia and all that other stuff.
Dementia ~ Journey Into The Unknown Chapter 1
Dementia ~ Journey Into The Unknown Chapter 1
I’ve changed what’s left of my mind. M’Lady has suggested that the power of this story lies in my reality. There just aren't that many first-person accounts of how Dementia works. Certainly, there are accounts of what it means to see a loved one slip into Dementia. But how many stories are told by the person that just might be slipping away?

The Sweet Spot
This episode is also available as a blog post: https://wintersjourney300905667.wordpress.com/2021/05/13/the-sweet-spot/
Every motorcycle I’ve owned had a sweet spot. The Honda 90 would would go all day at 40 mph. Suzuki 650… the double nickel. Honda 750, whatever the speed limit was. Kawasaki 1000cc chopper anything up to 240kph. The old 650 English Iron 60mph. Same deal with my cameras and lenses.
The Sweet Spot is in every part of life. Some call it the Middle Way. Others the Goldilocks Zone. Call it what you will it’s real and life just works better when you find it.

The Life And Times Of Brian Waddington
Time and again Mother Earth has shown me that it is only when male and female are in balance that life is full.

Jerusalem Burns Palestinians and Jews Die Christians Enable the Slaughter

Arabs and Jews trace their ancestry to the Book of Genesis. They were enemies back in the day and they are enemies now. Think of it as the penultimate Blood Feud. Let’s skip ahead into history. The time of the Crusades. Jews, Christians and Muslims are killing each other to decide who gets to rule Holy Jerusalem. If you take another look at the map I borrowed from the BBC you’ll notice that the same players are still there. This goes a long way to explain why the same Blood Feud still rages. I dare say that even if someone was to nuke Jerusalem the same groups would keep the Blood Feud going over the glow in the dark scraps.

This That And The Other Thing
It's been a long day. This is the South China Sea problem. That is the crumbling American Empire. The other thing is Royal Enfield Motorcycles and their 500cc single.

Finding Beauty In All The Right Places
This podcast was inspired by a beautiful leaf. Outside in the garden it had one beauty. Here in the studio another. Only when I took off my blinkers was I able to find the new beauty. Perhaps we all need to remove ou8r cultural blinkers to find the beauty in others. And by finding that beauty finding a way to live in Shalom.
