Living with Ourselves

Living with Ourselves

hello @eudemonism @eth @outlander @Bunniekins @Mazarita @Silenus @NameUnknown @Grasshopper3 @patientpatient @soul @Former-Member @Determined @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Friendconnect @Teej @utopia @Queenie @Appleblossom @Zam @perseverer @Janna @Owlunar @Former-Member @Former-Member

First of all I wanted to let you know that I have conversed with all of you at some stage on both sides of the forum..

It was my intention to close two of my threads and change my name in the kindest way for all of you...

I commenced this process on the 12th March and today is the first day that I have access to actually post or respond to anyone....I was in the last couple of days able to register a new name and like some posts...

I am so sorry that my profile ended so abruptly that was definitely not my intention....

In fact if I had done it my way.. instead of thinking would be better to be guided through the process....I would have just written on one of my threads my reason for closing my account tagging you all in....then requested account to be closed and username put to bed so to speak

I have chosen to take this path in order to protect my family's sense of safety .. privacy...health..

Please let me reassure you that this has nothing to do with any members on here...

I have tagged each and everyone of you because you have given me support and invited me into a little of your worlds...priceless experiences...I have felt heard and valued on here....Thank you all so much..

Moving forward ...this is who I am now and hope to be able to converse on the forum living in the now not the past...therefore no mention of my previous username necessary...

If you do not know who I am...that is fine also...perhaps all of the above is not relevant for you..

take care

@tonys

I wonder how many others received the wave of energy.

I will thank you for the offer of a wonderful day.

Hopefully it is still on it's way.

I have read your posts about the place and related to something in each and everyone.

Your distrust of communicating in this style as in electronic I definitely relate to.

Sadly it is a sign of the "progress" of the world towards artificial intelligence.

I for one will never allow my imagination to be taken from me without a fight.

I can pretend that I am talking to you face to face.

I know that you where a duffel coat.

I have one myself.

We started wearing them as children when we lived in England and when I found one about 5 years ago at a market, now living over here of course, I just had to buy it. It fitted me perfectly as though tailor made for me.

Takes me back to younger days.

You mentioned busking with your guitar.

I am wondering what style of music and or singing you busk.

Are you also a writer, composer?

You are also an observer of people which is something that I love doing whenever I am out no matter where.

I quietly, observe and listen if I can.

Watching other spectators at events is fascinating.

You are a poet in the making perhaps.

Are you a fan of Bob Dylan?

Enough food for thought and questions to ponder.

You need not answer them all either as I know that your internet connection is challenging at times.

Goodnight for now.

I hope that the night lights of the city help you find company and keep you safe.

Laugh @tonys

Botox on your feet making you taller.

Well it is similar to layer upon layer I suppose.

Or perhaps you are thinking of boots.

Doc Martins are pretty sturdy.

Love the beautiful LP'S that you found.

Flowers for your room I am impressed.

A present for yourself a very good idea.

What better than to brighten the look as you enter your room away from home.

I think that Tonys knows how to look after Tonys.

Yes playing nicely in the playground can be stretched to so many meanings.

Stay safe

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hello @tonys & @Sophia1

2 very special people 💚💜

I'm always excited if I see tonys letter in the mailbox. It's never merely a letter - they are brilliant works of art. I consider myself one of the luckiest to be personally invited to a viewing.

Oh yes - that song was definitely meant for you. I'm happy you had a chance to listen ....& see me - if only for a moment.

I didn't know about David Gray. Last night I listened to Babylon - out of curiosity mainly - to see if I could see you - Yep! & I was not surprised at all at who I saw. You are a familiar one to me.

You said my letters take you to a different place. Where do you want to go?

I'm thinking the most exciting place might be a different reality altogether?

It's very similar to earth though with subtle differences. Not everyone can see them - a few who are very special can see & feel the subtleties. They are welcomed by silent words that hover gently in the warm breeze. In this place, the flowers & trees are truly alive. They speak through their depth of colour & offer protection & kindness as they know the sadness that can hide within. The sky is bigger here. It's so big - that I cannot look for more than a moment. Clear blue skies, although nice are not the substance we rely on here, as we do on regular earth. In this place, it's the clouds that give access to answers, questions & adventures. The water is clear like regular earth, but if you look very closely it's filled with tiny diamonds. When it rains, instead of hail, the grass is covered in garnets. Fire is not orange here - it can be any colour at all - but mostly it is amethyst.

I'm not sure of the name....

Maybe it is Earth?

Back in the day when we were kids on the street we shared a dumpster and bottle one freezing night... now look at him ,... his own business and still got time to help an old street comrade. Big day. went to a top shrink in the city, first in decades. He donned his wet weather gear and spanners in hand crawled into my skull... Emerging an hour later bloodied and bruised. autism level 2 , adhd ,ptsd all basting in a liberal brew of brain injury....... who Knew.... I never felt better, he says its because i dont know any better... any way .. i have to re read some of your posts and reply in a more thorough manner, Maddison , what can i say. i come up with something Very tired....... will listen to little birdy " thanks @maddison, look at my flowers, and my go to music when really want to fade out. Badly drawn boy. Try the year of the bewilderbeast... you have to persist , helps if you have herbal suppliments. green tea i mean....... Tonys moon base one

Re: Living with Ourselves

You're amazing @tonys big day indeed. One part i could certainly understand was that we are happy cause we don't know any better. Haha.. The irony! I loved 2nd attempt letter - no worries here. Any letter from Tony's is a good letter as the saying goes.

Badly drawn boy open in other page. Starting with magic in the air cause I'm maddison xx

In response to: Re: Living with Ourselves

Re: Living with Ourselves

Oooh magic in the air was a great choice for me @tonys I shall certainly track you down.

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1 Drifting of but thought i would say thanks for your cheerful words. Yes i have a bit to much hard labour and adversity at times .... That when i specialize in looking after me. Splash of colour hear, dash of fantasy there ,... music , and a couple of nips from my good memories glass.... Conjure them up if i have too.... Its OK to be greedy for the good things in life now and then. Im adding 'little birdy' to my list. .... world turns , just gotta go with it. Cleaning lady got the flowers, she needed them more than me...... tonys moonbase one

Re: Living with Ourselves

@maddison , HEY you must have been typing same time as me, imagine that. Yes the year of the bewilderbeast is a vinyl classic .. 40 years old , track 1 and think its track 6 or 7 was new age for back then. Little birdy has so much to explore , fell asleep listening to an album last night, scrolling you tube , Im a sucker for the younger female vocalist. The Kate Malahikie type, now i spelt that wrong, and always looking for african american singers. They were born with strong pipes and soul... opps its late... Im tucking you into bed. and will write again soon. with every good thought i can muster, .... tonys moon base one. I will tell you a true story about neptune next time

Hello @tonys

Using the imagination is a beautiful way of getting in touch with other aspects of ourselves away from the maddening crowd so to speak

I have been a daydreamer as far back as my mind will remember

It used to be seen as being out of touch

That is of course by those who are not in touch with their imaginations

All part of using our creative minds

Enjoy where your imagination takes you

I love this side of me

Hello @maddison

I hope that life is a little more settling for you now with your home situation and caring for friend.

It is a difficult time having a loved one in hospital under the support of the mental health medical system.

The system works under overload and communication; support is often stretched.

I have been down this track with my son and it is extremely worrying and draining.

So please look after yourself and take the time to rest.

Take care

Sophia1
