The old Zen master, Reski Zerploski, seemed to be very serious in his nature, during the latter period of his life. He seemed to have lost his sense of humour. He had been this way ever since his fellow Zen master, in a...

Steve Marshall Job, chapter 8, verse 21. "He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with shouting." If God wants us to laugh, he must also have a sense of humour. I do not think that Heaven, would be a very serious place only, as even the angels there...

For about a week now I have been having weird dreams. Not scary, just strange. A few people have been in the dreams from where I used to work and where I work now ….these people have never met so why are they in the same dream...

Steve Marshall I suppose, in some ways, all dreams are a little weird. They can be very different from normal life, and often strangers can show up in our dreams, for some reason, or another. Perhaps, a weird dream at least helps us to take extra notice of it, and try to...

Steve Marshall It was good that the owner just didn't run out of his backdoor, and do a flying blind leap into his pool, as he might have landed in the jaws of an alligator.

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Yes, even here in Australia, we have had our fair share of charlatans. I remember one guy, who smoked within an enclosed room, like a chimney, telling us all, who were not allowed to smoke, that he had to smoke to ground him to the Earth, as...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Yes, nobody can afford to put a foot wrong these days, as someone is always ready to punish them for it. We have all lost the power to let, and let live, or to forgive.

Steve Marshall From the picture, it seems the opossum was smart enough to stay on the footpath, and not on the road. It was good it was rescued, before it took a chance, and went on the road.

Steve Marshall The Police go above the call of duty, sometimes, and animal rescuing seems to be a big part of their job these days, with so many escaped animals on the loose.

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Yes, and as a pensioner now, I have to watch my pockets, as you do too, I guess. A former opposition leader was recently sued here, and had to pay 1.5 million to the lady who sued him, because he rashly said/implied that she was a nazi sympathiser....

Steve Marshall If we allow our soul to take over the running of our life, through listening to its soft voice in our hearts, or its inner promptings in our gut as gut feelings, and conscience, we are closer to knowing and feeling that life does not end here for us, but...

Steve Marshall Yes we should make full use of our mind, but not treat it us the be all, and end all, of us, as we have a soul, too, which to my mind is the greater us. We are a soul with a mind, not a mind with a soul.

Steve Marshall @jstory07 Yes, in my time, it was more a given set curriculum, that could hardly be changed, until the sixth form, when you could drop some subjects, and choose your own choices. It has changed a lot since my day.

Steve Marshall Well, sometimes, like in my case, they can not decide for themselves either. I have spent my whole life trying to decide what to do, and ended up doing nothing much at all. I think we all need some help at a younger age to help us see what we are best...

Steve Marshall An escaped hog often hogs the limelight, and Police department resources are being lead away from better usage by these escaped animals. Perhaps, a fine will be levied at this owner, as it is done with stray dogs, and cats, here.
