@johngreenhorn8853 he had an abusive life anyway, a puppet for Schofield's ego, then when he stood up to him, he had him shipped to a rehab centre. I'm convinced he stitched him up!

I sense he is in no man's land, and may one day go running back to papa, with his tail between his legs.

@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 Many people, through pride and self-centredness, prefer to dwell in their heads and brew up further resentments and petulance, rather than proactively and simply leading another way of life. Why that would be far too easy for these complex, self-engrossed characters.

Do you think Phyllis, blonde wig and all, will be after Holly's job on the sofa?

He's a good comedian, but they need to sort the sound out!!!

@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 By the way, it doesn't feel right now with the Queen gone. I ask myself why that is? I don't think Charles has the charisma, love or backbone that his parents, and their parents, had. It also feels like a non-event somehow, as though he has waited so long, the prize was out-of-date, and had gone stale. It's simply a role to him, which he feels entitled to. He clearly and greatly enjoys his new role and extra power, but I think it is only his vanity, again, which has driven him to take the Crown, and have his lady friend 'Queened'. She is no Queen, and never was, and it all looks fake and sad, much faker than when Di was alive, who would have made a great Queen. Camilla looks lifeless, and again as though it was her divine right to be crowned Queen! It would have been better for the Nation if he had passed the Crown onto his eldest son, although he's institutionalised too and a bit of a twerp, and he had carried on with his charity work behind the scenes, helping his lad settle in with the occasional words of wisdom, before he follows in his mother's footsteps...into the great beyond, for as you said, he's not the youngest. Indeed, when I reflect upon it, it feels as though an abrupt end has come to the Royal Crown, and although Kate has fitted in like a glove with all her attendances and charity work; it feels like a show, and as though much of this is done to ensure their future entitlements. With the Queen, and her Mother, you could see love in their eyes, and a genuine desire to serve; I do not see that now, although they say the right things! Thus, this is the end of an epoch, and all I see in one ending after the other as we enter wars and holocausts, sadly. Then, when all the dust has settled, I see a new epoch, when once again, Royalty will be aligned to God's Will, and so all Kings and Queens will be Chosen Ones, as it should be!!!

@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 Thank you. I sense many people, especially the older ones, are going through a mish mash of emotions too, just as I am, unable to articulate these feelings, and their roots. It's clear our nation has changed, and the people, here within it its shores and boundaries, too. Most, if not all of our emotions are likely linked to loss; which begs the question, what did we lose. I can only touch on these losses here, but where we sense grief, then clearly we have loved, or been attached in some way, usually to an endearing quality, through something, or somebody, but that somebody imbues influence o'er us through inherent characteristics, so really all losses are within, and emotional. There was the nature of the people, who won two wars, endured death and destruction, and rations, the second war against an evil tyrant, large masses of people learned to read and write, and develop a voice to improve society, and became enjoined in various institutions, such as the Co-op movement, the WEA, the NCB, and others; as nationalised industries and commodities forged a strong backbone for the country. Health and safety, and poverty, were addressed within communal settings, and we had gone through a time when people did not complain about their hardships much, for they knew they had to pull together in the face of common enemies. And for a time this voice, or conscience of the nation, which I think the Queen empathised with, made for a better world, a world with hope of greater prosperity, and above all, harmony and peace. Since Mrs T came to power in the late 70's and 80's, much of this collective care for our society has been badly eroded, and replaced by invisible enemies of the 'state', who bit by bit are bleeding us dry, and doing what the Germans could not do, killing our spirits. Hence, with the Queen went many of our last hopes of a better future, and the grief and sadness from those days of hardship and toll, when many lost their lives in the war, or toiled in arduous and dangerous conditions in coal mines, and steel works. They learned to live day to day, hour to hour, and were usually happy to share their last crumbs with neighbours, who could be trusted so highly that people actually left their doors open for them. This community spirit has been dissolved, and many a virtue have gone with this loss; thus we sense the void, the emptiness, the vacuum...which only true spiritual companionship can bring, even in the most difficult of conditions. And the root of all these high values, honourable virtues, and steely strength comes from the one source.......the Love, the Creator's Love. And now we are disconnected from this through different ways and motives, we feel the loneliness, the emptiness, the nothingness, the futility, the lack of purpose and meaning...in untold grief of whose origin we fumble in the dark to identify; for even when the light shineth in the darkness; the darkness seeth it not. Thus, those who can distinguish the losses of our spirits, it is their responsibility to rekindle this warmth, strength and love through good thoughts and deeds, and as a shepherd would, create a protective shield and pen for the many lost sheep... in an oasis of wisdom and peace that attracts from within, not from without. Then every man becomes free from any entanglements, and even a beggar can be a King, and even a King be a natural human being, without the many false, acquired forms of habit that suffocate his spirit, causing him to scream aloud in a place of chaos and confusion, for clarity only comes to the earnest seeker; for so as ye seek, so shall ye find!

That's very kind of you. From the sentiments and verbage you have used; I am sure we would get on just fabulously, and I would gladly share a long haul flight with you. I began watching Hallmark movies recently, as I have no TV, and felt the need for some kind of other stimulus. The movies are very homely, and they sometimes awoke childhood memories of sitting, or standing around blazing fires in the freezing cold (we had proper winters back then in the north of England), eating hot pies and peas, and drinking hot chocolate. From the American movies I have seen, they do similar things, but drink warm cider. Can I safely presume that you are American? Have a great week too, and fantastic name by the way. We had a Periwinkle pub near a big housing estate in my coal mining village; what a place that was, full of rough diamonds, but hearts of gold, and full of cheerfulness and good humour. Perhaps symbolically, this sanctuary has now been knocked down and laid to rest now, as have many of the heavy drinker who used to frequent it, who perfected the art of working and playing hard. Most of the public houses, which were akin to community centres have closed up, and been reduced to piles of rubble.Thus, their time on this earth was not as long as many others, but their lives were full many more experiences! It was quite time back then, as they were party animals, but really good folk with big hearts. Happy times!!! All the very best!!! @ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293

@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 PART ONE...last few messages, as there is a reason for this as you will see. Methinks the weather is glorious in most of the UK, as Mother Nature's protective cloak knows nothing of any man-made north south divide, like the erring politicians; although I live in the SW now. At one time I had a strong affinity for the North too, but many of the coal mining villages have been ruined through over-building with few open spaces remaining, overwhelming the charm and earnest austerity of the older stone buildings that now stand out more like sore thumbs; and then there was the closure of many community facilities, not just the pits, but swimming baths, tennis courts, etc. The lack and type of employment available is a big issue too. I had a great childhood up to 11-13, and would not dream of swapping it for anything, and have recently finished my second long duration and form of employment which was in the community; before that I was in the mines, and qualified in Chemical Engineering. Approaching retirement now, but I have been concussed for a no of yrs with ME/CFS; but decided a few months ago, despite normally being COMPLETELY ADVERSE TO SOCIAL TEXTING/FACEBOOK ETC, to make a few comments, to improve my writing. It may take a long time, but I recently recalled a childhood wish ... to learn to write, and write some books if possible. I feel that this is my Calling for now on, until I am well enough to move on, and start my third life in some spiritual community somewhere, say Scotland or Abroad, say a place of 300-800 people in size. There hopefully, I can bring my former skills to bear, as I unearth them again for one last hurrah in service to the Creative Will, as I pine to work so hard for such a community that I implode in the form of spontaneous combustion, and go up in smoke-no need for any burial. Even the great Tommy Cooper would be proud of that kind of ending to my life. As I ponder on the writing aspects, exchanging comments with you has reminded me how much I would enjoy writing something about the North, and those days and times in the mines, but it needs to be meaningful and prophetic, and proffer me the opportunity to help people in some way. Healing is in my heart, my mind, my hands and my blood; but I know that this can express itself in many curious ways, of course.

PART TOW... Ironic, I read a little of DH Lawrence last night, and I sense he will give me some ideas of verbage, style, characterisations, and maybe plots too, on any social commentaries that I decide to make through books, although there are lots of ideas in my head, from the Miner's Strike, for example. Also, I have to learn to read again, then write, so it's going to take a few yrs before I can begin to produce anything with genuine merit, but I am in a state of determined contemplation, akin to David Duckham who in the Ba Baas match vs the All Blacks in 1972 at Cardiff Arms Park, picked up the ball to attack the opposition lines from deep, and as he did so the Welsh commentator waxed lyrical of his potent skills, and declared to the nation, or all viewers in the nation at the time...that this man has many obstacles before him.... but he's PREPARED. Thus, I am in a state of PREPATION for a Journey that I do not know yet where it shall take me, but I shall endeavour to find it as I move along with the tide that carries me forth. So currently, I am buying books on the topics that I am interested in, and on how to write; be it books, short stories, plays, films, TV, whatever comes my way. really The topics I really like are the social aspects from the industrial revolution and how that developed the character of the mining communities, and how these were later destroyed by the system, highlighting the competing value systems. Same with the natives in the US, and the issues there caused by the White man, so something alike Dances with Wolves, although both Tecumseh and Crazy Horse were special personages, and their stories deeply spiritual. The same with the Celts and the Romans; then there are spiritual stories I have that I would like to integrate under in a series, or films, somehow. I particularly like the endings of El Cid and Last of the Mohicans, as well as all the films of Lord of the Rings, Kingdom of Heaven, and a few others. Perhaps, if it is not too far fetched, I could begin a story in a place that appears as real as the earth, but it is set on a higher plane of creation, as the main protagonist talks with his spiritual gurus about the fight between light and darkness, and how he can best intervene and help.For these people are able to perceive the future, if men continue weaving their erroneous deeds into the soil of the earthly and astral planes Then he incarnates at different times of the world's history, to try and change people, before it is too late for men. Thus, I can use the stories I already have on Buddha and others, and reintroduce similar themes. Do I write complete truth though, or am I allowed to adapt it somewhat? Anyway, I thought I would mention these things, as you mentioned my writing style, and I am still in the very early planning stage before setting out on the real writing journey, joyous at the chance to fulfil, yet apprehensive too. If I do something every day, and formulate a good plan, the anxiety will wane I'm sure, as I shall become increasingly confident though the visible progress I make, as I become more proficient at these story-telling skills. If you have even the smallest piece of advice, I am all ears, as I sense you are a reader, or certainly appreciative of good prose? Do you think I need a tutor at some pt, or would you make your own plans, and follow them. I am actually following the guidelines of one author who writes, and teaches for the Arvon Trust, and they do courses on-line when I am ready, but I do prefer to work along than in groups. It's so long since I wrote, although I was doing a degree and a Masters about 13 yrs ago, which improved my formal writing; but creative writing is different, although I am sure some of the skills are transferable. You don't have to reply by the way, I was just curious, and after making a comment to a Hallmark movie, I asked about 6 people from the reply column, how would they change the film, and what was good about it, and what were they looking for in a film. Strange that only one man replied, an Englishman, who told me that he felt the most important thing to write about is how someone came to change their lives around. So what happened, how did it happen, and how did these events steer them into a new way of life that led them through fields that of happiness blessed with dancing daffodils in the glorious sun, beside gurgling brooks and streams that meandered across meadows of undimmed beauty that sang in praise to their Creator's hand, He Who had bestowed and bequeathed this land to the human spirit as a Temple of God. @ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293

@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 PART ONE Thank you kindly for your generosity, kindness. and encouragement. Yes, You Tube has sometimes been cruel at times, but a few were generous, and over the yrs I have developed a thick skin. My life has been full of harassment though, after a very promising start to life, hence why I never managed to write beforehand, just no peace, not even to read, but a lot of hatred. After moving South, 30 yrs ago, I developed and designed some community projects that would have been worth billions, and prepared people for the coming events, as I have the gift of foresight, but institutional violence en masse ended everything, and almost destroyed me. Key over-arching themes were citizenship, distinguishing authentic feelings from games and inauthentic emotions, how these impact upon mental health and health issues, and our connection to the Creator, food poverty, fuel issues, sustainability and ecological issues, waste, community education, learning difficulties, spatial planning, healthy eating and cooking, new town design, and others.

@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 PART TWO...My biggest asset when young was my Maths and problem-solving, as I when I am well, I have the capacity to organise large amts of knowledge, make connections, and develop them, very, very quickly. The problem is I am rarely well enough to do this. All the community work was 13-25 yrs ago, but I shall start going through the files soon, with one eye on using the material for writing. as you advised, whilst ridding myself of many paper files, and storing them on computer, before I leave for the north in a few yrs. Hallmark Movies make a big thing in comparing the peace and beauty of rural life with city life, and use key aspects of sustainability and using locally grown and cooked produce.When I look back, I have so much experience in these areas, so I hope I can come up with some new and innovative ways to present my ideas and experiences. I wont necessarily seek to write for Hallmark, or TV, and maybe start with poetry and short stories, and build up from there. Thanks for your inspiration though, it was fantastic, and I must admit, I did not read for yrs due to the hatred in my life, and I then prioritised retraining and preparing communities for what is to come, as that felt like my calling back then. I'll mention these events in a few yrs time, say 3. when I next come back to you, which I shall mark in my google calendar-one of few benefits of the Internet that I freely use. I do not do social media either, and I am wary of using up mine and other people's time, as well as space in these reply columns. So, thank you again, as sometimes a person needs a little encouragement, and a few pointers, along their way. When I look back at my school time, I briefly adored writing poetry, but I need to have the energy and consequently the 'brain matter' to organise it, and any plots, just like in my Maths problems, so I can make connections and oversee large pictures, until eventually it all becomes fluent and fluid without the painstaking work of organising and building it up; and learning how to write will make this task easier too. So for now I am noting any words I really like as I peruse any written work, which I shall use for rote forms of revision to increase my lexicons, keep short summaries of prose and stories from anything I read and like, summarise plots to look at potential themes, and as you said go through my past work and experiences, and hopes. I have copied a few lines of what you wrote, and inserted it above my list of words, for inspiration. It will take time to amass all the ideas, words and knowledge that I need; but I sense that my life experiences are full of soil for stories galore, and they are simple waiting on me to plant a few seeds, and suddenly the gardens will flourish; but they must mean something, for I do not like waste of any kind. Thus, I am pleased that I now feel officially called unto the world of book writing and story-telling, and it will be a journey as interesting to me, as possibly to others; so let's see what surprises lay ahead. Just like life! The only books that I have really enjoyed by the way are Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde's short stories (which always make me cry), and the Romantics, such as The Passionate Shepherd to His Love by Christopher Marlowe. What beauty!!! As I said I am not well read, but maybe I have enough experiences to make something of writing; although I shall have to start and read other authors, hence the 30 minutes of Lawrence last night. I shall study O and A level books from home, and then other books that I have bought on how to write, and build up my own programme of progression.. Hope to conclude the first phase in next 18 months, or so, and then progress onto to higher levels, and gingerly, start to write Thus, in 3 yrs, when I next contact you, I may have something to pass on to you, for your enjoyment, or evaluation. In the meantime, stay well, and talk to you in 3 yrs!

@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 Not quite 3 yrs, but so happy with the recommendation of Mr George Orwell, I am now stood on Wigan pier, looking for the next barge to come in, as well as the Casino, as there used to be an all night Northern Soul Disco there. This type of music and dancing was popular in my locality when I was young. Anyway, I was going to read 1984 again soon, but this other book is great too, and linked to the mines. I have even found a diary he compiled, which has been put on the Internet, for he visited many pits, including those extremely close to where I lived. So this is a perfect place to start, as I have another 4-5 books I have not looked at yet that cover the same mining industry and period, such as 'How green is your valley', which strangely enough was filed in the US, although it's meant to be in S Wales. I'll keep progressing my sketches too as you said, which I have already laid out on some A1 sheets a month ago, so I can easily peruse them intermittently: Either then, I shall use all the topics within overarching themes as I mentioned to you earlier, within the concept of the Wheel of Reincarnation, or separate them into distinct subjects, and maybe write a short series on each category with no real connections between them. Let's see, very early yet! I remember a TV programme when young called Time Tunnel, and the characters would go down it, and landed at different pts of history, oft linked with great events, such as the Trojan War. Every week, a different place was visited. This is a great start though, and I know there are a lot of historical records in Barnsley, such as at the NUM offices. I spoke with them recently, and they have their own historian who goes in there regularly. They also have a no of books about mining that they recommend. So I may not use the core themes throughout all these books, but I shall consider it; which is the fight between light and darkness, good and evil. I wish to pass on a moral compass for mankind, but as I said, perhaps I shall write some stories outside this genre. Although, I am desperate to give people answers and solutions to life, death, and the laws of creation; so that they can recognise who and where the enemy lies and is, and how to defeat it. After all, men have been fighting other men, and destroying them, for thousands of yrs, never really knowing the true enemy, nor the exact reasons why, for they tended to simply follow orders, no questions asked, just as people often did at the pit. Thus, I need to compose something that people can relate to, but which also frees them from their earthly bondages and enchainment. Perhaps, I too am Spartacus, just like the many thousands, and millions, who have been persecuted and crucified for freedom's sake! If you don't mind, I'll briefly let you know when I have fully read this book, in a month, or so...then, if you are able, and do not mind, perhaps you could recommend and steer me onto another book, or story? Stay well, and thanks again!!!
