Listened to a bit of Elbow. Then moved to Last FM for some Placebo radio (Cheers Pirate boy).
So, if everything is made of energy, and Guy gave the world to us, and if we can transform energy using our actions, words, thoughts and emotions (which we can) then the challenge has been set.
Come all you geeks and programmers, how will we define our new reality?
Here are some basic rules and parameters to begin with. Basic laws of return to follow (assuming you'd like the world to be a nice place to live in for everyone).
1) First do no harm. From the oath (cheers Dave). Sounds right don't it but it wasn't until last night that I really got it. I'd been to a petrol station outside Epsom for gas and groceries, and petitioned Ganesh (the dude behind the counter) to assist me in clearing a block. (I asked him what the answer was, and he said £76.81). It was time for Dave and I to have the big convo about the house. Nervous much? I drove home through happening and a part of me was feeling scared of the dark, when it really sang for me. First, do no harm. Basically, don't worry. Don't conjure dark clouds in your head.
2) Do what you love. Don't worry about what everyone else is doing. Pour your love into the things you care about. If everyone does this all will be actually groovy and everyone/thing will be cared for. Family, friends (bipedal or otherwise), dreams. If you can't love it, then leave it alone, it's not for you.
3) Laugh often and well. Can't find nuffin to laugh at? Try this:

You'll know you've really got the knack of this life when it becomes funny.
4) If you must judge, forgive first. No ones saying you don't get to think it through in your own time, in your own way. Just try and let go of the idea that the situation (whatever, whomever it is) is intrinsically fucked first.
5) Give freely where you love and there will always be ample. For you and for everything else.
6) When you cheat you steal from yourself, and when you do that you steal from everyone. Don't cheat.
7) Tidy up after yourself. Leave things a little better in your wake if you can. Pick up rubbish. Make the bed. Do the dishes. Figure out your shit. That way the folks who come after can get on with what they love without muddying themselves up trying to figure out your shit.
8) Be a bare witness to the events that unfold for you in front of you. Bare witness to your pain and other's. Really listen. If you find yourself wanting to say "yeah, but", stay quiet and listen.
9) There is no pain you are supposed to hold on to. Only information, given freely and with love.
10) All things radiate energy (its called thermodynamics baby). All radiation contains a message and some messages take longer to receive than others. Go to places you love and listen with open heart, ears and eyes.
11) Well this one goes up to 11...
Trust. Deep trust. This is a perfect world. You will get everything you need and more (as your needs change) in time. When you feel lost just trust that in time the world will return. All you need to be is yourself, and this plane of reality will rise to astonishing and beautiful heights. Breath into it. Test where you are by seeing how you feel. Breath and move further in. How do you feel? Breath and move.
12) OK, 12.
Tell your child they can do anything. Then ask them what they want to do. Listen to their response. Play and enjoy.
13) So whose counting?
Genius. What is it and how can you be one? Easy! Just listen to what you love, love it, and respond. Don't hold anything back. The love will flow through you and be transformed and everyone will marvel at what you have wrought. Me especially, cos I am deeply interested in stuff. Make me some wicked good stuff please guys. Phil is also deeply interested in stuff, especially nature. Anyone out there up for properly learning to talk to animals? I'm nailed on sure that they are funny as fuck.
14) What does Guy want, who is in all things?
Send up a prayer in my name
How?
See number 2.
And the beautiful thing is that once people know the right thing to do, they can't help but act from that truth deep inside themselves. (Ha ha, it's too late for you. You've read all this now, it's in you. Love you guys. x)
And so it builds exponentially as we all remind each other "Tiddler" style (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tiddler-Julia-Donaldson/dp/0439943779) of the way back to the light.
See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other. - Carl Sagan (Contact).
My love and I had a wonderful 3rd date yesterday in Croydon.
The best bits were spontaneously picking up rubbish with him. Making the bedroom at Bertie's all nice again for Claire, and washing more dishes than we'd use the night before before we left.
Because each of these was an act of love, freely given, which then resonates out.
I left Bertie a lovely ginger root on his veggie rack (shhh, he doesn't know yet).
Bertie turned me on to ginger and lemon tea (add honey to your own taste - from local bees if you have allergies).
It's awesome. Chop a couple of slivers off the ginger root (they're dead fucking cheap) and bung 'em in your favourite mug with a slice of lemon. Pour on hot water, and imbibe the loveliness. Best of all, if it goes cold it's still nice. And if you fancy another after 20 minutes just pour more hot water over what's left in the cup and go again, with no side effects, other than the satisfaction of a nice cuppa.
Look forward to playing with you again later. My 5 year old is now working on flight. He had an awesome idea for how we can break orbit without using all that fuel. Mas tarde wapa niños.

PS, if you're gonna bung a slice of lemon in hot water, make sure it's one of the unwaxed ones. Unless of course you like a little wax in your tea...
PPS
For the really good stuff crush and bung in a couple of "Poor Man’s Capers". These are the seeds from the Nasturtium. I just randomly grew some this year. Phil pointed out they were edible and had a nice peppery heat to them. Just the extra kick I was looking for ¦ )
