Easy Is Not The Same As Simple

Random ramblings and fleeting thoughts.

Name:
Location: Adelaide, Australia

Born in Enland and migrated to Australia in 1965, but I would still identify as an expatriate Englishman. Married with a son, a daughter and two granddaughters (with the accent on grand). After being retrenched in 1994, I reinvented myself as a social worker, and I'm still working in that area. Retirement? Not just yet - I've still got a lot to do.

Awake! for Morning in the Bowl of Night
Has flung the Stone that puts the Stars to Flight:
And Lo! the Hunter of the East has caught
The Sultan's Turret in a Noose of Light.

Sometimes I need some inspiration for my thoughts, so if I use a stanza from the Rubbaiyat, it will (should) at least keep me going for 75 posts.

I'm a morning person myself, and can function almost immediately after waking up - although I do better after the first cup of coffee. Mornings aren't the problem but sleep is. At least, getting enough so that I don't feel like a zombie by 7.30 in the evening is. And playing catch-up sleep is no great fun.

I love that idea of the sultan's turret being caught in "a noose of light". Can't you just see the sun rising behind the dome of some eatern palace with a shining halo all around a gilded turret? Beautiful.
