Dealing with Change
|
I’ve recently started following another expat Kiwi in London’s blog and her post last night, entitled “deep breath“, struck a real chord with me. The situation, for me, is completely different but the sentiment expressed – that I might not be good enough – is something I well understand.
She writes:
“I have been playing chess with this fear for the best part of 30 years. And in a weird way I am thankful for it. It has pushed me forward and given me a defiant courage to do it all anyway. I have spent years living on my own, paying my own way, being responsible only for me. I have affirmed to myself every single day that all of these things are evidence of my independence, strength, capability. This is the me I promised myself I would be when I knew there was no going back. And while mostly serving me well, this self-suficiency has also created a dark and twisty me, the one that thinks letting go somehow equals weakness.
I want to keep growing, experiencing and metamorphosing. And this involves allowing myself to be still for a while, to be really here.”
I guess I’m re-posting this because I know that these are feelings many of us have over the course of our lifetimes and sharing in it sometimes, realising we’re not the only ones to feel like this, can be so incredibly helpful. I thoroughly recommend you read her entire post, from start to finish, if nothing else it is a lesson in honesty.

Drinking water, eating vegetables and getting very bored
|
Over a week ago, I blogged about my exciting adventure to A&E, followed by an appendectomy.
While things have greatly improved, there is still quite clearly a wound (as opposed to a nice neat scar) and it’s causing all sorts of fun. Today’s particular adventure involved conversations with nurses and doctors regarding why the wound appeared to have opened up a little in two places and, more worryingly, why green pus appeared to be oozing from said places. Delightful! I do hope you’re not reading this on a full stomach . . .
As I continue to rest (mostly) tucked up in bed, you would think I’d be blogging like crazy but in fact the very opposite is true. I watch tv. I read. I sleep. I drink water and eat vegetables (sometimes). I am incredibly bored but seem to be better at blogging when I am at last vaguely busy. My mind works better when there is more to think about than one thing at a time – a luxury I am “enjoying” at the moment.
But things are steadily improving, we hope, and I vainly hope I’ll be back at work next week for a couple of days before Tim and I head off to Santorini. Failing all else, surely some relaxing in the Greek Islands will do wonders.

Kilroy's Film Fest -- Newest Arrivals
|
G'Day All --
Kilroy's On-Line Classic Film Festival continues to grow, with several entertaining additions.
Included among the nine Newest Arrivals is (IMHO) one of the most hilarious productions of all time, "The Horse's Mouth," about an eccentric old artist named Gully Jimson, who lives on a decrepit houseboat on the Thames River in London, starring Alec Guinness.
http://www.angelfire.com/ca5/yourturf3/KilroysFilmFest.htm
I've received a few admonitions from folks who insist that anyone "seriously interested" in watching any of these films would buy the DVDs and view them on their big-screen televisions. My reply is, "By all means, do so."
On the other hand, the Film Festival web page has received several thousand hits, so it seems to interest some folks -- even if only for purposes of sampling the "merchandise" before acquiring the DVDs.
Enjoy the on-line material whenever it suits your convenience, and forward the site to any of your friends who might like to do the same.
Remember -- whether you watch on-line, or on a TV screen in your house, you are still most welcome to post comments about your favorite films on Kilroy's Movie Buffs' and Film Critics' Forum, that you can access from the link near the bottom of the above web page, or directly at:
http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/KilroysMovieBuffsForum/
I hope the above material will be of interest. If you have questions or comments, please let me know.

Obama's Speech in Cairo: a new beginning ?
|
Hi everyone !
I wanted to post a blog about the Obama's Speech in Cairo (Egypt) since it was an important event for the Muslim world, the USA and the world in general.
For those who have not had the chance to read the full text of the speech or listen to it, here are some useful links:
To read the full text of the speech, visit: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/04/us/politics/04obama.text.html
For a complete video, visit: http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/04/full-video-of-obamas-cairo-speech/
http://www.kansascity.com/105/story/1234919.html
“Less than six months ago, Arabs threw shoes at George Bush. Today, in a address bound to go down in history, President Obama was unexpectedly greeted by a standing ovation in the heart of the Arab-Muslim world.
In a towering speech before 4,000 Egyptians in the Grand Hall of Cairo University, and to another 1.4 billion Muslims world-wide, the President was interrupted 30 times by applause and people shouting, “we love you”.
President Obama also noted Islam's historical relationship with the United States:
"I also know that Islam has always been a part of America's story. The first nation to recognize my country was Morocco. In signing the Treaty of Tripoli in 1796, our second President, John Adams, wrote, "The United States has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Muslims."
***
"That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn't. And I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear."

I think that if we, as citizens of the world and youth activitists, want to ensure a better future for ourselves and the future generations, we have to cooperate and to help each other in order to solve the global problems and issues that we face: climate change, poverty, HIV, ...
«When there is a will, there is a way». Let this be the credo for the 21st Century.
All the best,
