A Nature's Path

  I wanted to upload the photo I took in the waiting room after having the Covid vaccine - the Pfizer vaccine which I thought was the Oxford vaccine. After getting the Covid vaccine I waited in the waiting room for over 15 mintues before the nurse says it's fine to leave.  It is recommended to have the flu jab but it should be taken at least one week after or before. The next day my arm was stiff. Many I know have taken the same Covid vaccine and are fine - though some say experiencing a headache is one of the side effects. Stay safe and well everyone! Yahoo News explain the difference between   Pfizer, Moderna, Oxford-AstraZeneca and Novavax      

 How too much mindfulness can spike anxiety Feeling stressed which can happen most days, can make us feel anxious at times and meditating like a 30-minute to an hour spate of silence can be helpful but meditating too much may cause us to react more anxiously.  For the full article visit  BBC Worklife

The crocuses My guess is that the Crocus vernus will arrive late this year As Winter is mild, and the frost isn't here yet. Nor the snow dipped into sludge but snow crocuses bloom amid winter warmth. Ornamental crocuses in Flavus Family in vases make a room sunny which spark the rays Through windows in March making #ActionforHappiness a continuing process from the first month until winter returns cold and dark. Now that flicker of April showers with rainbow flowers from yellow to purple will spread happiness everywhere in open fields to welcome in SPRING a true delight. What say my podcast team, Andy N Amanda? (c) nature thoughts nw Kol-Colleen (I now know from many years of writing poetry and doing an English Degree at university that poetry is truly subjective. Poetry magazines also reflect how subjective a panel of judges can be!)

Times like these 'A latte please' does wonders. Time to sit taking a break, to ponder. Time is of essence the latte refreshes in wonder. (c) nature thoughts nw

At this time of the year we see a change in the scenery from shops doing business as usual without that need to say 'Happy Holidays!' to a smile on Baristas' faces and that voluntary chirpiness we see during the festive period. Everywhere there are brightly lit streets with sparkling lights decorating street light poles and suddenly almost everyone is thinking of festive foods and gifts. Come March 2019, will we be able to travel across Europe to see all the various ways of celebrating Easter and Christmas? Will there be changes to how we look at these traditional celebrations? Yet we have to decide whether to put some effort in celebrating the festive season or not. This reminds me of the mother I overheard on the public transport telling her very young daughter to read a poem.  It's a nice gesture but as with cultural celebrations, we have to decide for our own selves whether we want to read a poem and then write one ourselves or not.  ...

At around 12 mid-day, as if propelled by an invisible hand, she’d turn to face the sun, as it scorched the lavender buds in the tiny city garden that has been her home since a juvenile.  She stops nibbling on the apple tree bark and almost stands tall with her tiny front paw to her chest – to greet a plane flying high above altitude towards the Atlantic Ocean, where some of her ancestry roots originated.  Her distant relatives were also from Eurasia and Africa yet as far...

I couldn't find grass blades long enough to make a band so I decorated my watch just now. pic.twitter.com/w5v2VDxZbz — A Naturespath (@a_naturespath) June 3, 2018 #time to #think of #nature 's #path be that person consistently conserving #wildlife 's ways for future's worth. #APoemADay https://t.co/QTXJTbY6XP — A Naturespath (@a_naturespath) June 3, 2018

Our enemy is not the other person. Our enemy is the violence, ignorance, and injustice in us & in the other person. When we are armed with compassion, we fight not against other people, but against the tendency to invade, to dominate, and to exploit. - Thich Nhat Hanh #MindBody pic.twitter.com/dEA4VGivAA — Mindfulness Wellness (@HealingMB) 30 May 2018

Revealed - the Meaning of Life Albert Einstein's Surprising Thoughts on the Meaning of Life Monty Python's The Meaning of Life 42: The Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything “Things don't have purposes, as if the universe were a machine, where every part has a useful function. What's the function of a galaxy? I don't know if our life has a purpose and I don't see that it matters. What does matter is that we're a part. Like a thread in a cloth or a grass-blade in a field.
