where in our quiet times are the refugees from future wars?

good Olympic opening ceremony   and emphasis on London pride   god bless em
i had written an ode to the Olympics in april but since forgotten it starts "score down the torch , run race to last place" cannot help be ironic  often dreamt that 2036  is  the last summer Olympic games   and it goes the way of the world  cup   and despite all the 60s and 70s poptastic  theme of the 2012 opening ceremony  the 2060s and 70 s will be years  of change and  ultimate world conflict   on a level to   reduce all nations! but then again  if so why  is not the present  day  quiet  and historically uneventful as it is  full of  refugees from future wars ?

read  new york   the art guide    by morgan falconer   over 60  museums   but not as would have been helpful a museum by museum guide    but rather a theme gallery  of all the cities  museums from early civilization to medieval   art and nation by nation schools of painting    from  the met to the whitney  the MOCA and the MOBA    most of the book was a typical tames and huson  modern art  guide with  colour tab sections on art and artists   colourful is the description of this book   as it read like like pictures and hypertext
the knight a medieval users guide one of the many   user friendly 60 second   history type guides   using  text boxes and the  beas bits from long medieval chronicles  on little fact blocks  god sections on all the history of the knight from damsels  to   mercenaries   loot and booty to campaigning


 the times encyclopaedia of   world religions from   the summerians to  new age religions in Asia using maps from the times atlas of history  all the main mythologies in summary and art  all the main religions in brief history  although this is the first book on the subject  i have read that has a tabbed inset   on page 169 stating the author disassociates himself from the content  on that page

one hundred favourite poems   chosen by classic fm readers   from  masefield to marvell    adleshop to  dover beach    from the highwayman to the listeners    the ones we regard as classic as they are remembered


re redundancy some sort of lifeline funding but  half the money from  last year  decided not wanting to do  any college course  not travel outside my comfort zone as having too much anxiety
