Spidey’s Serene Sunday – Part 77

 “The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”  Albert Einstein 

Is this not something we surely need to tackle?

What truth.

We, as humans, have evolved and developed, and as we have grown and changed, so has the world around us. From the foods we grow and eat, to the way we dress, from the way we move, to the way we communicate. 

Development has also coloured our thinking, conditioned us to feel certain ways about particular races/religions/ animals/foods.

If we truly want to be able to view a future for our children, that doesn’t hold a sense of dread, a future where we feel excitement at what it may hold for them, then somehow, we need to all change our thinking. 

Open mindedness, freedom of though, belief and speech, letting go of stereotypes.

When something bad happens, the punishment needs to punish the doers, not the rest of the community loosely connected to them by colour or faith.

We need to not be afraid to hold a hand out to help others in need. 

I love this wave of RAoKs (Random Acts of Kindness).

But why is it random? 

Why can’t it just be part of our nature?

Why are we so fixated on our looks and size? 

There weren’t scales thousands of years ago. It’s what we see around us that subconsciously tells us what is right and what is wrong, what is hot and what is not. Because society and the media told us so.

Take time to ponder. Try and see which part of your thinking could do with a refresh…

Have a wonderful Sunday Peeps!

TJ’s Household Haiku – Symmetry

The lovely TJ has a great prompt for his haiku challenge this week!

Symmetry

We were in the garden, having a barbeque as I read this prompt, and I searched for inspiration outside… Here was what I came up with.

My hanging basket
Red spouting on either side
Nature’s symmetry

And one more, a little bit of fun!

*The contents of these bottles weren’t all consumed today!

Red, White, Red, White, Red
Be sure to drink with caution
Must keep it balanced

 #SoCS Aug 6/16 – Ex

Excuses – I’m always finding them, to explain why I’m putting off doing things like sorting out the kids bedroom… But I will do it, honest, it’s just that we have family over today for a barbecue so I need to clean the house from top to bottom! (Oops, see what I did there!)

Exercise – I’m attempting a lot of they right now, but exercise that will suit my knee problem, heel problem, and shortage of time problem. Today I may not get to walk, but my vigorous housework will count for something!!

Exterminate – I really am not into Dr a Who, so why did this come into my mind? Possibly because we needed to buy flea spray for the house yesterday. It’s that tine again… Thanks for the presents Sonu Singh, but we generally could do without fleas!

Extreme – I love that song by Extreme… More Than Words… Mmmmm Nuno Bettencourt…!

Existence – we are here… What are we here for? Have you worked out your purpose in life? Are we here just to exist, or do we each have a reason to be here? 

Extrovert – I guess that is how I could be described by some! It’s not that I crave attention, but I am not worried if I get it! I’m not shy, put it that way. 

Excited – I am, honestly, at the thought of finally getting the kids rooms sorted. We have four weeks of holiday left… Can we do it? As long as I don’t find any more excuses!!!

Written as part of Linda’s Stream ofConsciousness Series. Find the prompt here.

 

Thursday Photo Prompt – Liminal– #writephoto

Another intriguing photo prompt from Sue this week, and I got to educate myself too! What is Liminal, I asked myself?

Liminal is an English adjective, “on the threshold,” from Latin limen, plural limina, “threshold.” Liminality is the abstract noun formed from limina.

Thank you Wikipedia!

So… the photo…

And my tanka for this week.

Liminal

We’re on the threshold
Which adventure lies within?
Mystery indeed
An other-worldly portal
Or just a simple cavern?
