“Oh soul,
you worry too much.
You have seen your own strength.
You have seen your own beauty.
You have seen your golden wings.
Of anything less,
why do you worry?
You are in truth
the soul, of the soul, of the soul.”
~ Jalal ad-Din Rumi ~
Wondering where one of my kids ended up...wasn't where he was supposed to be. Decided I'd wait it out...proved to be the right choice. He called from home. (Walked quite a few miles to get there - serves him right!)

Thomas James Rodoni was born in 1882 at Hotham East, Victoria, to Swiss and Irish parents. While living in Sydney in August 1914 as a man of 31, Rodoni joined the first Australian Imperial Force that would engage in the Great War: the Australian Naval & Military Expeditionary Force.
A week after enlisting, Rodoni’s company embarked on the HMAS Berrima and sailed to German New Guinea among a fleet with orders to seize two wireless stations and to disable the German colonies there.
Rodoni’s unofficial photographs – many of them “candid” shots, captured in the moment – are a rare glimpse of this pivotal moment in Australia’s history. He has documented the energetic atmosphere of prewar Sydney and its surrounds, from civilian and military marches to battleships docked in Sydney Harbour, with accompanying crowds of people brought together for these special events. His camera voyaged with him on the expedition to the Pacific region, taking images both from the ship’s deck and then again on dry land after disembarking.
Rodoni was stationed in New Guinea for five months with the AN&MEF after the successful capture of territory from the German forces. His striking images are testament to his ease with the camera, and the ease of his fellow servicemen around this avid amateur photographer. He used his camera to record daily events and significant moments in the expedition, and made several group portraits of the officers and soldiers in his company. Yet his images also suggest a genuine curiosity for the foreign people and places where he was stationed, and a love of the photographic medium in which he practiced during this early period of the war.
After leaving New Guinea with the AN&MEF and returning home to Australia in January 1915, Rodoni left the force to work in a Small Arms Factory manufacturing munitions for the war. He soon married and settled in Newcastle with his wife, Catherine Annie Wilson, and had four children: Thomas, Mary, Jim and William (Bill).
The wider collection of glass plate negatives – over 600 in total and with many views of Newcastle and its surrounds is an incredible legacy to Thomas Rodoni and his family.
Rodoni died in 1956 as a result of a car accident in Waratah, Newcastle.
The original negatives are held in Cultural Collections at the Auchmuty Library, University of Newcastle (Australia).

This photo was taken in the early 1930's. I had it made into a poster and one of them ended up in the lady's lounge in a restaurant in San Rafael CA. A few years ago I got a phone call from this little girl who happened to frequent the place, only to walk in and see herself nearly seventy years after the picture was taken! She told me that her older sister is the gal giving her a perm.
Every day is a good day if you use this tiny doll! Put this doll under your pillow during the day, and let her think all the worrying thoughts for you. Than, every night, before sleeping, put her in the jar...and have a good sleep! ^___^

Don't worry with your lipstick
I'm gonna kiss it all away
Throw away your lipstick
That ain't your color, anyway
My lips are your color
So lips, stick with me!

Just came up with an insight that I think might be rich for you. It's about the distinction between worry and reflection. So many thought leaders counsel us to avoid living in the past. "Live in the now," they advise. "Enjoy the moment." Well, I get what they are saying. But isn't there something good about going back and delighting in the delicious moments of the journey we've arrived from? Which brings me to worry versus reflection? Whether to revisit the past - in my mind - depends on your intention. If your intention and reason to go back into your past is to dwell on bad things and to worry over things you cannot change and to rehash painful times, then I suggest it's an unhealthy act. But, if your intention - in going back in time - is to reflect on the lessons events have taught you and to grow in wisdom and to savor the precious memories that you were blessed enough to experience well then I think it's good. I guess what I'm inviting you to consider is that it's a waste of time to fret and regret over things you've done that cannot be changed, but that it's a fantastic use of time to bask in the good times, feel gratitude for them and use your past to serve your future rise. ---- Robin Sharma

Here I am, dumbly smiling and taking photos, whilst people look so stressed and worried.

Lots of smoke coming from a Ferrari 288 GTO. The smoke went away after about a minute or so, but he got off at the next exit so I don't actually know what came of it. Fingers crossed...
Why Worry ?
Dire Straits - Why Worry?
Baby, I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do the things they say
But baby, I'll wipe away those bitter tears
I'll chase away those restless fears
And turn your blue skies into gray
Why worry
There should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now
Why worry now
Baby, when I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
And all the isn't hard is the same
But baby, just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shinning red and gold
And all the rest is by the way
Why worry
There should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now
Why worry now
A girl who works in the building just came back from a vacation in Guatemala and brought these worry dolls for me. It came in this little case with an instruction slip which reads:
"There is a legende amongst the highland Indian Village of Guatemala. If you have a problem, then share it with a Worry-doll. Before going to bed, tell one worry to each doll, then place them beneath your pillow. While you sleep the dolls will take your worries away."
sometimes i worry that this annoys people.
sometimes i think that people think i bandy about academic buzzwords for the sake of it, or use too many semicolons.
(someone once told me not to use them at all because most people are completely clueless as to their usage.
i resented being lumped in with most people, because i do understand their usage.)
Ubexers find a spot, show someone they trust & post a pic from an "undisclosed location" then keep it quiet for a while. Seems like graff artists find a place, paint some & then let the word out, so others can paint & enjoy the artwork.
With Drone Slayer on the prowl we should really worry. The recession was over in June 2009 yet unemployment is 8.3 % and really over 10 % when you figure in those who have given up. A nightmare of epic proportions. Drone Slayer says great new jobs are on the way . Yep. The 824 billion stimulus was to build bridges ,roads and invest in the future.Instead fully half went to Medicaid and much more to Obama syncophants. Drone Slayer increases the national debt by more than 5 trillion in 4 years.Millions more on food stamps than ever. Every where you look there is more bad news on the economic front .These ladies are correct. We should worry even when Drone Slayer says the private sector is doing just fine.
