Sweeping

I dreamed that a Higher Intelligence was directing me to sweep up leaves with a long-handled dustpan and brush (like the one we keep in the kitchen). I was a little disappointed that the Higher Intelligence had nothing better for me to do but, as George Herbert writes...

"Who sweeps a room as for Thy Laws
Makes that and the action fine..."

This dream will have been prepared for by my reading of Robert Monroe's Far Journeys- the second book in his trilogy about Out of the Body Experiences- which has a lot to say about Higher Intelligences and how we relate to them.

Good Idea

Various has-been British politicians are calling for Putin to be had up before a Nuremburg style tribunal.

Setting aside the practicalities (because do you think sending a summons to the Kremlin will be enough?) I'm all for it.

It's time to get tough on war and the causers of war.

But let's not stop at Putin. Consistency demands that we also summons all the other heads of state and former heads of state who have done exactly what Putin has done- and invaded or bombed someone else's country. I'd start with George Bush and Tony Blair (they're still around, God love 'em) but there are many many others.

If they bring all their hot shot lawyers with them you're going to need a very big courtroom.

The Hollywood Bowl, maybe- or Wembley Stadium- or maybe that Olympic Bird's Nest thing they have in China...
