Today is my late Mother’s birthday and I wish her well where ever and what ever, she is. Born in 1910, she lived till June 1996, as wife and as mother to the four children my parents had. I struggled with my parents at various times and my feelings towards them were antagonistic and yet I loved them also.

Awareness of that affection has come only late in my life, after they had passed on actually and now I feel, that as a son I gave little affection to my parents. That would and actually is different now, because I have started to recognise the caring on their part, that went into the upbringing of this recalcitrant - at times - son.

So, I am glad that I, at the later stages in my life have become aware of this and can still foster within myself, a feeling of love, caring and appreciation towards them for all that the did and for what that means to me still.

The first laundry load is churning in the cleansing cycle and due in fifteen minutes. Later Herman and I will meet for lunch at Heritage park, now that Spring is here. Yesterday’s coffee visit with John went ok and we’ll meet on Saturday with Annie too. They will come my way for a last visit to ‘Books on Forth’ which will close in a few days.

Work on my web form is progressing. I have discovered most of the old files, left from previous attempts over the years. The form data output is also working, but that is rather primitive right now. It takes the form of contiguous data dumps without any spaces or markers, commas or dashes in between.

This is a problem I encountered about two years ago, when I tried to set up a search routine for my daily entry topics. That project is about half way done and was stopped when I got busy doing my Sait web courses in September of 2010. Now I will have to revisit the technique I uncovered back then, about inserting ‘end of line’ and ‘end of file’ characters in csv [that is: comma separated values] data files.
Wish me luck:)!

It is just about time for the a laundry trip, so I’ll break off here and now. On the way back from the laundry room - due at 9:45 - I met Michelle, who had brought me the tea from Malaysia last month. We agreed to have a tea meet.

My narrative thoughts are firming up in that it must address at least robustness, comprehensiveness, comfort and inspiration for an individual, who holds it as a story. Understood in all this is the underlying notions and principles of Existence Divine, accommodating the diversity in the human traditions and belief frame works.

The overall principle that guides me in this development, is that we need to accept the given traditions and find a frame work that will accommodate them. In addition we need to find a method fostering further development and tolerance. I am using the development and adaptation history of the human brain, with its neo-cortex as latest addition, as a model for what we need to do with and for our human societies on this ‘closed’ planet.

Closed, because in the short term we have nowhere else to go! We must face the music here on earth, and though there is much music but the price for admission to some recent concerts, is now ‘out of this world’:)!
