Goldie,
this is totally unacceptable! We all know Government sucks, but this crossed the line. I do feel your pain.

Oh thats sickening. Thank goodness you are the man you are and can deal with this.
Chin up and move along I guess. Mallet and balls to the rescue.

Oh this is shameful, A. How can they do this? Isn\'t it hard enough? Absolutely shocking! I admit the title drew me in, the poem is well written but the subject matter has angered me as well so I can only imagine how you must feel!

Neville said:

That is absolutely disgusting my friend .. The last thing one needs at any time let alone when they are faced with such a devastating loss..

I am so sorry to learn, not only of this awful experience, but that your dearly beloved wife has now passed... My very sincere condolences Andy.

Oh dear, that\'s awful, not in the sense of awe-ful, but horrible.
I got fined once because someone did not pass on some information - or somehow the info did not get to its destination.

A great write to return to and I agree with the sentiments - he who never places one foot in front of the other has no place to go.

Self Belief.
dusk arising said:

It\'s about conditioning and a certain kind of narrow mindedness. Now nobody would justifiably accuse you or me of being narrow minded. Part of positivity is seeing opportunity and following a path to realise it.
However it also has to be said that some are also held back by guilt. The guilt of survival and a underlying fear that they must be seen to be being respectful in mourning ... mourning for the rest of their life?
Perhaps they need to be asked how guilty they feel for letting their departed\'s spirit see them so lacklustre? Do they honestly believe their departed would not like to see them doing things which brought happiness?
Just last week i had this conversation with a bereaved customer of mine who has much to offer but locks himself away. I\'m hoping my words will stir him into action and i shall be following it up.

I truly agree that opening doors need to be walked through and am sure this message will help your friend. Good points made in your poem dear Andy.

Saxon Crow said:

People fear change sometimes, even when that change would be the best thing for them. It takes courage to change and let go of what you know

orchidee said:

I know the feeling, but I\'m sure that your friend, or anyone else, wouldn\'t be letting others down. Unless they were doing it from entirely selfish motives. But they will have thought of others, so they won\'t be selfish and uncaring.
Can you help? Should I move forward, and make the decision - move to the desert to continue singing? Or to Pluto?!

As Kenneth Williams famously said \"Stop messin about\".

Awaking Each Day Tanka.
dusk arising said:

Positivity. You either have it or you don\'t (though i do try to encourage it in all).
Even in those times when you are down and troubles and pain bear down upon you and overcome your normal demeanor, perhaps reducing you to tears. The positive spirit which is a strength in your character will rise up and overcome.
Mr Goldfinch is a shining example of this.

To be in harmony with nature in that environment is priceless. Wonderful contrast to our contemporary \'sophisticated\' lives.
