The real question is what do I like to do in my city?

Drink coffee, listen to music, and read a book. I like the cafe experience. And this city has lots of places to drink coffee.

To be honest, I would like to be forgotten. Is that a super power?

Why? Not sure.

Is Jesus a brand?

The closest brand that I am associated with is Anglicanism. I cannot technically be an Anglican – that is, I cannot be on an electoral roll (very long story for another day).

My association with the brand is via the Book of Common Prayer. Not the newer versions. The 1662 version that is still the benchmark. I use it for my daily prayer and sometimes for the occasional offices.

Why? It has been part of my life for so long. And I am too old to change.

I am also an iSheep!

So I am hoping not to repeat myself. Yes, Jesus. But also (in no particular order):

• My oldest son
• My mother
• My last vicar and her husband (sorry that is two people but they make a team)
• Kierkegaard
• Nietzsche

In Australia, where I happen to live, everyone over 18 must vote. Either you vote (and, yes, they check your name off from a list) or you get a fine.

So I vote without any passion for the political system.

Not a what but a who: Jesus. The encounter with the eternal in the temporal and the infinite in the finite.

THE SAME OBJECT SHOULD PRODUCE IN SEVERAL MEN’S MINDS DIFFERENT IDEAS at the same time;

How do I know that your experience of reality is the same as my experience of the same “object”?

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”
Friedrich Nietzsche

Nietzsche may not have actually written the above but it is within the spirit of his other works. There is a realism about it: some are ostracized because others do not understand them.

“Stay at home Day” – a day to celebrate silence and solitude. Do I need to say more?

TBH, Wikipedia. Follow links and fill in the picture.

There are others but I like the rabbit hole of information.
