Cafe notes

It's been a busy week at work, yesterday I was working across three different buildings and will be doing the same again next week.

But it's the weekend and a long weekend too. Monday is a public holiday, so again I'm sitting in my usual cafe with my coffee and laptop with mousepad open writing this gemlog. I thought about writing on the current conflict between Israel and Palestine but I see there are plenty of people out there on the web expressing their opinions and some of them quite frightening. 

I did though comment on a question posted on Twitter, the post went something like; "Will humans ever be capable and loving enough to eradicate hatred and evil in this lifetime?"

The replies were sadly "No" and my reply to this was "This makes me sad because I feel it is true. I don't think humans have evolved enough to truly control emotion and I feel we would destroy ourselves before we got anywhere near it."

I often dream of a Utopian reality where we as the Human race could live like this.

But I can't see it happening. 

I have always tried to be a good person, acknowledge my faults and improve on them. 

I love Science, Physics, Genetics etc, but noway am I an authority on any of it. 

Through science I have learnt to see us as a race as equal. Skin colour, ethnicity, culture, religion etc are only skin deep, underneath we are all the same. 

Physics teaches us that all matter is just energy moving really fast through time and space. E=mc2. This is beautiful and something I constantly remind myself.

Cafe notes

Another Saturday another post written from a cafe.

it's overcast here today but the temperature is mild. I had another meeting with the Lawyer yesterday going over the estate of my fathers house, all pretty straight forward but still something I just want wrapped up and finished. really the only thing to do now is sell the house, hopefully sooner than later. There is a bit of work to do, nothing structural but lots of little things. 

Physically it is file but mentally it's quiet daunting. Lot's of lots of items that contain lots of memories and hard to part with, but material items are just that, material items, they have no memory they are just things. it doesn't make it any easier though. 

It's hard to let go sometimes but I try tho think of the future, new beginnings and new adventures, this helps with cleaning out the old and parting with the past.

Cafes and downtime

In my effort to regularly add content to my Gemspace, today I am sitting at a cafe with my laptop writing this post. As in previous posts I like cafes, for me they are places of relaxation but with enough social noise and movement as not to be trapped in solace.

I'm still off work and have a few more days to myself, I was going to title this cafes and recovery but, recovery from what? I don't know, so I think downtime is more suitable. Having this time off from work has been great, I am one who reluctantly takes time off work though my advice to others is you must take time off for yourself and your health. I should listen to myself more.

It's a nice sunny spring day here which adds to the feeling of calm a perfect day for hanging out at a local cafe writing text and creating content on my Gemspace :)
