Dan,
in German we have a saying: Vater werden ist nicht schwer, Vater sein dagegen sehr.
It is easy to become a father, but hard to be one. Like d a said, all we can do is to do our best, come what may. You are doing OK!

dusk arising said:
Dan mate, we are all individuals. Some fail where we succeed and sometimes we fail where others succeed but that doesn\'t mean a thing because no two persons circumstances will be the same ever. All we can do is try to be the best we can, and when that turns out good then we should count ourselves as lucky and buy ourselves an ice cream or something.
There is a part of every one of us that is a saint.
In another day, another time, with a fair wind they might even nail us to a cross and tell everyone we came back to life after three days (and buggered off to Kashmir) but it\'s unlikely. And anyway i\'m allergic to nails thru my flesh.

Life is a risk, get over it!
L. B. Mek said:
death tolls, my brother...
death tolls!
black n white figures, until
like Lord Sugar
(sounded a lot like you
in March
then his Sister died
in December...)
it becomes far too real
to simply ignore.
My POV is that of someone
who has immediate family members working with the NHS in the \'front line\' so to speak, dealing with both the physical and mental aspects of this cataclysmic catastrophe.
So as a supportive friend
I empathise with your plight, but
best not to base
our \'understanding\'
of a complicated situation, based on
the goal orientated opinions
of suntanned -
\'fear mongering\': sluts...
Yes, I totally agree
our \'democratically elected\' government
mishandled this crisis
at every point!
Still, what does that say about us...
Stay Safe brother

Your words show such truth Dan, as Robert has said if we\'d have kept that first lockdown going for longer and even better to stop ANYONE coming into the country things would have been much better. But those in charge could not (and never will ) see beyond their own fulfillment.

Thanks for that, Dan. Good old Russell B - court jester, truth teller. I haven\'t seen him for a while.
I think what you say is pretty right. But we do have to take precautions on an individual level....or rather, you do with your family and I will have to when covid strikes here in Oz. as it could at any time.
Take care of yourself and family.

L. B. Mek said:
\'Nature way, is the only way!\'
Amen to that a good write my fried,
Trust born of self worth,
mined from those \'lost minutes\' within introspection\'s sleepless musings,
gifts us an understanding far greater than our intellect can seemingly comprehend - but somehow, we instinctively recognise as being unquantifiable yet undeniably: true...

(Provided you don\'t scare other people, scream all you like, mate.)
Dan, I think you\'ve got something there - \'To live is a purpose unrefined\' is a worthwhile conclusion for me, while how you achieve your mid poem balance is probably different for everyone, as you rightly point out.
Take care, Dave

dusk arising said:
You\'re so right Dan, not that you need me to tell you LOL. My jobs were always in peoples homes and often I would encounter that noisey alert nervous dog scenario. What do I do...I ignore it completely (unless it\'s growling and slavering - i\'m out the door if its one of those). In it\'s own time the dog will quieten down and get enquisitive just as u suggest. I still ignore it and let it get used to the idea i\'m not a threat. Now I love dogs so it\'s a pleasure if that dog changes it\'s demeanor and lets me pet it. They mostly do. Always a dog is more on the alert though if I, as a solitary big male with a deep voice, should come into it\'s space where it is with the lady of the house. This has always given me the impression that a dog or bitch is being very protective of that lady of the house. Everybody should be aware of these things in dog behaviour. Eye contact should be momentary, if at all, until the dog relaxes. Also if you pretend to yawn it helps relax the dog.... yawning cannot be seen as in any way aggressive.

Funny thing about nature is, you don\'t ever have to ask if it\'s true or false cos it\'s nature doing it\'s thing. Maybe the further away from nature we get, the more we fall out of harmony with just being what we are.
