How true – we look at the stars and realise our duality, we are both everything and nothing at the same time. I no longer believe in God, my faith and hope is stored in human kindness and compassion.

His cheek, his swagger, amuses us all His poetic knowledge is impressive He takes no nonsense, but is a softie too His future looks very progressive. Newmania, Just penned this quickly, especially for you:

Newmania hails from Islington
Where he puts the world to rights
Loving politics, blogging, his family too
He is sure to attain great heights.

His cheek, his swagger, amuses us all
His poetic knowledge is impressive
He takes no nonsense, but is a softie too
His future looks very progressive.

I like EK`s comment about the stars , its only when you get out of London you realise why anyone wrote about them . All I ever see is that orange streetlight smear The claustrophobic nearness of light in London was used to great effect in Nil By Mouth the Gary Oldman Film. It worked as visual metaphor of the trapped characters.

There is a great Poem by Robert Graves about the quality of a Bear which was to seek his own company , like the poet . Finally he stares out to the Great Bear and joins mystically with all things in the surprising last stanza . I couldn’t find it which was a shame but I wonder if the fact we cannot see the stars or the process of death and much else has made us less human that we should be . Ever since organised religion has become ( to quote Arnold again)� An Angel beating its wings in a vacuum there is nowhere to go with this spiritual need that stubbornly persists People have always looked at the stars asking for something to be clearer.
