Here is the beginning of what could be my way of working as Sheikh instructed.
I know that I can copy and paste this into my blog.
What I don't know yet is wether I can put photos in a Word document and then copy and paste them with the rest.Somehow I don't think so,yet ...but I could take the photos and then send them through Picasa.Therefore if I just get a battery for this dear old thing ..I could take it anywhere and sit anywhere and write.Take photos anywhere and then take both to the internet cafe and one on a floppy and the other on whatever one uses and send them ..daily or whatever is available.I could start practicing this summer if I get a camera.Show where we work and the compaƱeros etc.write a bit about them.Practice for something similar in the Islamic/sufi world.
That way also ,not only am I not tied to the internet and the desk all day,but I would also have my diary much safer on my hard disk and always have that as a backup when Blogger goes squew whiff and hopefully plus a backup copy on disk if
I go squew whiff!
Let's see what happens this way ..(the photo was the first one to come up)
Of course the photo did not go in ...but ..it's still a good way to work.

Another thing is that I would have my posts in the right order.Certainly that (this) blog is a nice simple clear one.I am very 'coldified' this morning and that is probably enough for now.
Interesting that I was doing EFT tapping ..(or a slightly adapted version which just involves pressing and rubbing the points) when I thought of this so clearly.(Astaghfiru'llah that I should imply that this is the cause of it when I know that Allah is the first cause of all but this is the medium,His medium,perhaps I could say,for helping me in the right direction.)
I was doing the 'tapping' for "Even though I don't want to do anything." which seems true .. but only when I am berating and hurting myself.(Interesting the outcrop of people actually physically hurting themselves with cutting and burning and such things amongst young people in our crazy society..what is that?..a guilt thing or what?..Also leads on to discussion of suffering and purification as well as 'conscious suffering'. ..but those are other topics.)
Sheikh says that we should do what we love ..that we should love our work.I must say I love writing and photos.With the old digi things could be a lot easier.
Also ..I believe in The One ..(there,I've said it..!) ..I know that it is a name/facet of Allah Who is All and much more than that ..beyond what we can ever imagine (Allahu Akbar!) and perhaps in wanting the Truth ..(which somehow I will try to get to/explain or describe, in another place ..on "Personal Stuff" for instance) I was apparently 'biting off more than I could chew' .. but ...(that Geko is making that noise behind the cupboard by the front door and I think it will drive me mad soon...the connection with the hadith of the Prophet saws and Abraham and the fire ..!)
