Life is a risk, get over it!

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.

Dog or not we have mostly forgot
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.

Just a clip or is it? believe what you wish

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.

5am rambling thoughts
L. B. Mek said:

\'For many reasons I want to write this but quite a few angles makes it hard to pick which!

I do feel we overload ourselves with expectation and normal rely on others for self reflection.\'
I would suggest some 75% of sincere Poetry may began with these thoughts you\'ve versed so accessibly: relatable.
A wonderful write dear Poet,
I\'m sorry you\'re experiencing one of life\'s \'sharp slaps\' of fate.
Still, I have faith in the wisdom you exemplify within your rhymes of shared solace,
I\'m certain you possess the ability to unfurl realisable avenues for managing this obstacles before you,
and I look forward to reading the fruits they will yield, once you\'ve found that safe place to land,
if I you permit me to share my two scents worth of \'learned through mistake\' - insight:
remember to share a simple joke or pick a flower or simply offer a hug, to that treasured someone(s) by your side
even in the most challenging of times, for in simply appreciating the gift - that is their presence in your life,
you will remind yourself - that yes their may still be worse to come,
but still, you possess some treasures other\'s can only dream of...
keep the faith my friend, sing your song even in the face of that bleak that threatens to swallow you whole: sing it loud and unashamedly Proud!

A love undefined yet
L. B. Mek said:

thought provoking words my friend,
inclusive of those opposing extremities within reality,
yet still undeniably sang with a positive perspective\'s yield of self-mined prudence, choosing to believe in our ability to dictate and govern what fates: we are faced with,
a wonderful read
