Getting all thoughtful on a Sunday

I recently joined the 21st Century by joining Facebook, I am still getting to grips with all it can offer (and what to avoid!) but today I joined a few fan groups.

On the Amnesty page someone had posted the following that I remember affecting me deeply when I first read it, which was when I was doing Theatre Studies A-levels (about 3 million years ago!). It still has that same power today.

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for me...
there was no one left to speak out.

Time Management

Oh how I wish I had some! I have a pile of important things to get on and do this morning and yet, here I am, blogging rather than getting on with them, why is that? At least one of things has gone from mildly important to really rather urgent and yet still, here I am, blogging!

The therapist in me says its all a bit of a Water issue (in the 5 element model) I sit here and plan and decide and know what needs to be done, but lack the oomph to actually do it, my Kidney Yang energy must be low, leaving me short of the required oomph to carry out my planned activities. So what to do? Some Chi Kung to get the Chi flowing would be good, maybe coupled with a couple of moving activities (put a wash on, empty the dishwasher) may give me the boost I need, so off I go to try and boost my Kidney Yang energy, wish me luck

Therapist, diagnose and sort thyself out :-)
