Although I left England to live in Australia, this is not autobiographical (well not much)
I do however believe strongly in Karma. Having studied theology and philosophy for 10 years or so, Karma is the only principle that really resonated with me -not through any ideological religious reason but simply because I know that if I do good; I feel good and if I do bad; I feel bad. So to me it makes sense (and is also the message of Christ, Muhammad, The Gurus and most of what we now call 'pagan' beliefs if you strip away the man-made BS)

Nice idea and so true. I like the way you think. I've just been snooping back through your blog and had to giggle at your "immovable' illustration of your daughter watching 'In The Night Garden' which has just become a very familiar scenario at our place.
Nice touch!
Wow! your words are so true (and the most important: I understood all of them!) and the illustration very nice!!!!

I couldn't agree more. That is something I tried to instill in my kids, to treat others as they wish to be treated, regardless of how those others are treating you.
True indeed! Good idea for this week's theme.
thank you for your nice comment on TheSquirrel's I.F! We like your four oversized iconic places on the globe.
Hey Al,
Glad to be back following your site, love the new illustration and poem ... keep up the good work
Michael.
P.S Read somewhere (think in a C Hitchens book) that the golden rule "Do unto others ..." is found in six or seven documented works before Christ ... shows how a good idea and ideal can occur to so many true visionaries ...
Thanks for the comments everyone, much appreciated.
Dan, thanks for the link - I've signed up, looks interesting.
Michael, good to see you back of the blogs mate - AWESOME to see you've put The Prince of Pirates online! Get that thing advertised my friend, it's great!
Oh and Hannah, In the Night Garden is slowly beginning to rot my mind I think... I found myself watching it the other day and my daughter was playing in her room! My wife and I call it 'The Alien Show'
Hannah, this is a wonderful illustration! It would make a fantastic poster! Love your line. Well done!
Oh, and I loved the Bill & Ted's quote! "Something strange is afoot at the Circle K." (another favorite quote of mine from the movie.) hee hee
That’s right Alex! Nice work. I like the way you think, create and work!
Hannah???
"Be excellent to each other", indeed. Good quote (heh, heh-loved Bill and Ted). Excellent musings and illustration.
oh what a clever clever piece....I also love the quote...be excellent to each other....I hope we all start to do that more!!!
Very clever! Great Job!
Ah, great concept! Very clever!

Great illustration and so true!
So far my favorite take on the theme! So clever and so true!
it doesn't matter if you have a submarine right?
Genius Lili!
Thanks for the comments everyone
hi Alex, love this post particularly. and the birthday post for your daughter is very sweet and funny :D
Nice take on the "Burning" theme! Anyone that can make a "Bill and Ted" reference is OK in my book!
