I also have a situation on my mind that distracts me and occupies my thoughts much of the time.<br /><br />Yes, I can imagine how happy you will be when you travel to Cyprus and are able to enjoy a warm sun, sandy beaches and blue water. Which makes me wonder. Is the sea water terribly cold around Bergen? I doubt that it can be colder than Lake Superior, but I do wonder.<br /><br />Whatever .... I will be no less happy simply to have warm and sunny days right here than you will be in Cyprus. Who knows?

Family matters, family disputes, family problems. Whether or not my family is interesting, I am not certain. That it is like any other family and has issues, there is no doubt.<br /><br />I saw your photographs from last weekend, and I think they were most excellent. It especially struck me that people all dress alike these days, no matter where they live -- in America or in Europe.<br /><br />As I said, where my Norwegian ancestors originated, I cannot recall, but it is obvious they all had farm backgrounds because they homesteaded land upon arrival in America.Fram Actualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01540773153894050197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989613902205547683.post-43727778104024044522011-03-28T05:10:48.820+02:002011-03-28T05:10:48.820+02:00Please, no apologies ever, Peggy. About anything.
...Please, no apologies ever, Peggy. About anything.<br /><br />Yes, T.S. Eliot had a great voice for reading his work and, yes, it is difficult to concentrate on listening to poetry being read while, at the same time, absorbing more than the simple beauty and melody of the sound.<br /><br />It is not unusual for me to carry a copy of a play, especially something by William Shakespeare, to a live performance and, periodically, reading along from the book while listening to the actors delivering the lines. <br /><br />The visuals are missed during these periods of time, but the back and forth elements of listening/reading and listening/watching work out just fine for me. Besides, it is possible to go to more than one performance in most instances should I feel that I missed anything relevant.<br /><br />When I first "met" T.S. while in college, his poetry bored me and I found it tedious. I am happy to say that now, his words have not changed, but I have, in terms of understanding more about life and more about myself, and his words are meaningful and significant for me.<br /><br />I was completely, totally, absolutely unaware of the use of, "In my beginning is my end," by any source other than T.S. Thank you, for passing this information along. I appreciate learning it. The words should be tattooed across the forehead of everyone, I think, as a reminder of the priorities in life.<br /><br />As a side note, a few years ago I was in an argument with a district attorney about the words written in the U.S. Constitution. Without going into detail, he said he believed the words in the Constitution were "living, breathing words." His statement shut me up on the spot, and had enough of an impact on me so that our debate is embedded in my mind. <br /><br />I think this single line from Mary Queen of Scots and T.S. has the same kind of magic. It is made up of living, breathing words.Fram Actualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01540773153894050197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989613902205547683.post-89998407889343325612011-03-27T20:38:12.885+02:002011-03-27T20:38:12.885+02:00yeah,,yesterday was so busy had no time to think a...yeah,,yesterday was so busy had no time to think about ghost!!<br /><br />Iam in a bit of hurry..ihave slept all day and my nurse companion is picking me up..i just wanted to say hello!!<br /><br />BTW ..i had great difficults to upload photoes today..could not comment.the photoes was taken last weekend..and so on..Ok..have a good time!i think your family is interesting..wonder where in norway they came from?Probably from the coastAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989613902205547683.post-73354295566926290402011-03-27T18:32:11.413+02:002011-03-27T18:32:11.413+02:00P.S.

I found this interesting factoid regarding the opening line "In my beginning is my end": <br />This is the saying which Mary Queen of Scots embroidered on her cloth of estate whilst in prison in England and is the theme running through her life. It symbolises the eternity of life after death and Mary probably drew her inspiration from the emblem adopted by her grandfather-in-law, François I of France. The salamander along with the motto, "I nourish [the good] and extinguish [the bad] was a symbol of enduring faith which triumphs over the fires of passion.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07909913811643561413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989613902205547683.post-91323525351304390632011-03-27T18:14:29.341+02:002011-03-27T18:14:29.341+02:00My apologies for not visiting and leaving this com...My apologies for not visiting and leaving this comment in a more timely fashion. I only have the usual excuses, I am afraid.<br /><br />That said, I was glad that I took some time today to dig into your rather meaty blog and go find the actual text of the Four Quartets and East Coker. I found the audio reading to be a bit distracting - I find it hard to listen to a poem being read out loud by a great voice - I cannot focus on the words without seeing them in front of me as I hear the sound of the words in my mind more than the meaning. Yes, I was bewitched - but by his voice as as much as the words. <br /><br />But I then found the text of the poem and had a slow and leisurely read. A very deep poem, well crafted and full of "stuff". I have to agree with you - he has a wonderful way with words and thoughts so expressed I really appreciate.<br /><br />I think this is a poem one can return to many times and still find gems which had been previously unnoticed. He has a great way with words no doubt - I think the following passage expresses how I feel as we round the bend of winter and head toward spring: <br /><br />Hypnotised. In a warm haze the sultry light<br />Is absorbed, not refracted, by grey stone.<br />The dahlias sleep in the empty silence.<br />Wait for the early owl.<br /><br /><br />Thanks for this blog - I will need to find some time to read more of T.S. Eliot's works.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07909913811643561413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989613902205547683.post-76949020844501698512011-03-27T01:50:19.388+01:002011-03-27T01:50:19.388+01:00Well, as I said before, Anita.

It sounds like you have a nice collection yourself.<br /><br />My immediate family members are scattered around the U.S., if that is what you mean. As for where they came from, most from Norway and some from Germany. I never have known where in Germany, and I cannot recall where in Norway. All my papers with such information are in storage, so I cannot look it up at this point in time, either. Upon arriving in America, they settled in Wisconsin or Iowa before some moved on into Minnesota.<br /><br />So, you think you are lucky to know me. Who can say?<br /><br />In most respects, I despise cable television. But, I am thankful for it in once sense. There are dozens, probably hundreds, of old movies I never would have had the opportunity to see if it were not for cable television. I guess the tons of garbage one must wade through on cable is the price that must be paid for access to a few outstanding films.<br /><br />I believe in spirits or entities in dimensions parallel to our own and in the existence of manitous in all things, animate and inanimate, but I am not certain what I actually believe in terms of ghosts/spirits of people who once walked the Earth. I waver back and forth on that possibility.<br /><br />So, good luck in your adventure working among ghosts tonight.Fram Actualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01540773153894050197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989613902205547683.post-51180500456163919252011-03-26T19:52:58.259+01:002011-03-26T19:52:58.259+01:00OMG.interesting Fram!!8rings?wow..I would like to ...OMG.interesting Fram!!8rings?wow..I would like to see that lapis one with the diamond and that bloodstone and yes those with the signs on tooo..<br /><br />i have got 2 rings of passion..One is a little diamond in white gold given to me by my first lover..dead now..drove himself to death..the other one is from my mother a sapphire one.And the rest is all engaging rings one marriage ring.<br /><br />you are very lucky Fram.i think you have an interesting family.where did they come from..what happened to them..where are they now?And you FRam..is very fascinating man.I think Iam very lucky to now you..You are soo wise and really a very helping friend in this lonely winthere.sometimes i can not belive it..why i choose to be alone like this..i cpuold bee so much better with a spose..but but,,<br /><br /><br />Freya is very lovely, she is the bringer of love.You and her is very well together.<br /><br /><br /><br />about the movies yes i wil try to see more good movies from the past.and that book from the writer will durant I will also google now right away.<br /><br />and here is something spooki..At work lasst night, we was hearing someone typewrite on an old maschine and we heard twice someone was coming up the stairs..but there was no one there..It was a bit scary..i belive in soem kind of ghost that has not finished they work on earth..at least they printmarks still here ..you know the vibrations of them..well i quess i scared the shit of a young 20 years novise in nursing i have to train..hahah.ok ..thanx for liking the post on my wall..they are really awful-I cant belive i publish such a shit..well well se you later fram..i have to prepare for a long night at the spooky hospitalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989613902205547683.post-78560580451996602002011-03-26T01:20:27.435+01:002011-03-26T01:20:27.435+01:00All right.

Eight rings, all gold: Four signet; one wedding; one I do not know how to describe, simply decorative, I guess; one bloodstone; one lapis with diamonds. Two were gifts to me; one has been in my family for about a hundred years and the remaining five I purchased. I typically wear the bloodstone and two signet rings. Happy now, Anita?<br /><br />I suppose "Citizen Kane" is sort of boring, but it is considered a masterpiece by the critics, very moralistic in nature and a film everyone should see at least once. <br /><br />"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" is more exciting/entertaining, also very moralistic in tone and also considered something of a masterpiece -- both the original Tennessee Williams' play and the film. I read the play in college and have seen the movie three or four times, but I would confess that I never have had any urge to watch "Citizen Kane" again after the first time.<br /><br />I guess if I have encountered the term "mandala" in the past, it has gone over my head or in one ear and out the other or escaped my curiosity or whatever. I had to do a bit of research with your mention of it now to learn what it involved.<br /><br />As I periodically mention in my posts, somewhere along the line I came to agreement with the conclusions of historian/philosopher Will Durant that answers to all questions in this world can be found through the study of history. <br /><br />As for the next world, I already have a pact with Freyja. She is going to carry me off to Fólkvangr when my earthly time comes to an end.<br /><br />I hope work goes well for you this weekend.Fram Actualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01540773153894050197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989613902205547683.post-29010090983854679422011-03-25T10:16:37.017+01:002011-03-25T10:16:37.017+01:00Pizza and coke?Heiii..thats what iwas eating too,,...Pizza and coke?Heiii..thats what iwas eating too,,but dont tell anyone.hehhe..It is a junk food!!But i love homamade pizza!!<br /><br />those rings?..eh..are they marriage rings or sort of??or your time in war rings?i love rings!but i also love the history..you understand..?the affection about it.<br /><br />ziticen kane ..uff boring movie..i watched ten minutes and skipped it..but cat on a thin roof was very very good!It was about personal relationships,death drinking and so on..all the little problems we humans struggle with.<br /><br />and then i read something how to paint Mandalas..Mandalas is in the whole life..it is like putting on your life and see the relationship to everything.<br /><br /><br />about the comment..It was me who was wrong..i thought i had written to you ..but i had not..blurry head and mind i quess..Well well.this weekend back to work and now i will go for a silent walk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989613902205547683.post-55874564756292234392011-03-25T02:45:24.290+01:002011-03-25T02:45:24.290+01:00So, you thought you were leaving a comment?
