To be honest the last 3-4 haven't been up to standard, so I reread the old ones. I can read them over and over and never get bored, same with Lord of the Rings

"My lord, we've found it--the place where he was laid up till dark. Or at least, where he or some other bled long enough to leave his traces clear enough. While we were beating the bushes Madog thought to search through the grass under the arch of the bridge." - The Heretic's Apprentice The Sixteenth Chronicle of Brother Cadfael, of the Benedictine Abbey of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, at Shrewsbury Ellis Peters

I just love the Cadfael books. Oh no, shall have to go and read one now. I think the first omnibus was the best (Morbid Taste for Bones and One Corpse Too Many and ...... damn can't remember the 3rd).

Said he to them: "Nevertheless, it cannot be that a session of the academy should be devoid of some new teaching. Whose Sabbath was it?" "It was the Sabbath of R. Eleazar b. Azariah."

I have already enumerated the many ways of going unconscious so as not to deal with what we're feeling or how we're behaving: overeating, drugs and alcohol, anger and so on. To become conscious, you must a) identify your favourite ways of going unconscious, b) be vigilant in noticing them, and c) be committed to gradually learning to the Witness instead of allowing yourself to operate on automatic.

By the way, imho, the book is just a sales gimmick

Strachey decided to use the latin words "ego" and "id" to make Freud sound more scientific. In the Strachey translation, a sentence might be: "Thus, looking into awareness, I see that the ego has certain id impulses that distress and upset it." Translated that way, it sounds like a bunch of theoretical speculation.

Cadfael is so very cool.

No particular smileys to anyone who guesses where this is from, cause if you can't guess, you must have been living under a rock for the last decade.

Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears--

Ah, she doth depart.

Soon as she was gone from me

Harley Davidson motorcycles have a 12 volt battery. Be sure the booster vehicle has a 12 volt system. Failure to do so could result in vehicle damage.

Oh yes that was it, thank you Phyllis. I think memory lapses are a sign of ...... now what was it, nope can't remember.

Say hi to your kitties for me. I miss my cat so much, I know it is daft but every day I get my hubby to hold him up to the webcam.

On the other hand, the cornea of the eye seems to possess only pain-sensations, or at least the threshold of pain is so low that no other sensations can break through the sensory experience of pain when the cornea is stimulated. From the fact that pain-sense is so widely distributed in practically all parts of the body, it has generally been regarded as a "common sensation," with no specific end-organs. It is now thought, however, that cutaneous pain arises from the stimulation of the "free nerve endings."

"So, in order to be a little more specific, if I ask what part of me William Avenue is, I can say that it is the seed of my present ego structure, the beginnings of the values system that later became my dominant attitude and main viewpoint toward life. What is important to this dream is that this dominant attitude is one that squelches feeling, that is embarrassed by feeling and equates it with embarrassing emotionalism. It is a culture that mostly uses sentimentality as a substitute for real feeling."
