  • Should all passengers be required to wear parachutes? (for flights higher than 10000 feet)?

    At sea everyone except good swimmers need to have life vests. Since no one is a good flyer maybe everyone could wear a slimline parachute. If an accident is about to happen just jump out and float gently to the ground.

  • Should carpenters be contracted for amputations in hospitals to free up doctors for more important work?

    Carpenters would do a neater job sawing and then maybe get a seamstress in to do stitches. Neat work and Doctor gets to do doctor work.

  • A poem I wrote about Love?

    The lover seen

    Seen, not discovered

    The timeless game

    Not imagined, conjured, invented...

    But oh....searched for yet

    Through every ruse,

    Through every play and poem.

    Futility following a smiling call

    Till weary and worn all secret abodes

    Found wanting and empty

    Yet it always was...

    Yearning fueled

    A hazy dream of homecoming

    A whisper in the gentle breeze

    A sparkling light from a shimmering leaf

    The reminding emptiness

    Behind the crashing surf

    And the mocking screech of gulls

    Always was

    Hidden from these earthly senses

    But dancing in my heart.

    But oh... at last!

    When gods and dreams and mystical paths

    Faded with the mist

    When nothing but life remained

    Beyond these sorry endings

    Beyond these subtle deaths

    Oh i drank the eternal essence

    And laughed the madman's laugh

    A drunken lover

    Pure and always was, behind, within, without

    The imagined toiled walls

    Tears and laughter - this simple play

    Only love remained....

    She came then

    My earthly love divine

    She was always there

    Before the birth of a thousand worlds

    She was there

    No words, no image, no thing,

    In Truth and love she came

    Our essence shared but always so...

    Sweetly gifted

    Life to life

    Love to love

    Always essence shared.

    And in this sharing

    Lives the Knowing

    And the Knowing lives in life.

    She's in my arms...

    But who now loves but love herself?

    Who now lives but life?

    Sunrise stillness in beauty seen

    Experienced not found.

    And who may separate the river from sea?

    Once joined we are,

    We always were.

    Love knows

    Not we.
