"Wisdom and inspiration: thought provoking, humourous, delightful, guru-like, quirky, energizing, enabling, challenging, alerting, awakening….the way individuals, teams and groups start every day as a Great Day" – The Replies Book

Archives for February 2021

Exploring themes of laughter as a cure, concrete mixed with whipped cream and conversation in a language you’ve never learnt.

This is just the start. A beginning, A taking off point for the book, the letters and the poems that’ll charm the sailors and seamstresses.

We could begin before summer, but there would be no fun in that.

So we will wait, and wait and you will…wait.

We can write notes to each other until the start of play.

Logged in to mystery and wild beliefs.

The campfire had gone out. Just a waft of warmth remained.

At four thousand metres (almost thirteen thousand feet for you) it was cold and frosty.

People had begun to get to know each other before sunset.

Noise and unrequested sounds are prohibited after ten. But we insist on much more. Nobody wants the other person’s noise, and none should be expected to endure it.

Oh! Stratospheric Polar Vortex, please say at home, be well, and keep us warm!

Being hotter in Iraq and colder in Texas than anyone remembers or cares to find in the record books, that’s just not cool.

How can you cast this spell upon us!?

Be rested and sleepy once more!

Drumming up support, courage and peach pies.

We are investing time, money and feverish ideas into the future, a future we know nothing about but suspect a lot.

Of course sometimes we cross our fingers, other times when it’s a long way to the next WC we cross our legs. Something like that.

Once in a while we meet someone we trust, then we give them our own phone number and personal email address.

There are so many particles in the air we breathe, we can’t list them.
