Hot News from Planet Paltrow
A troubling bulletin from Gwyneth. Under the heading 'Be' she tells me, 'I am interested in spiritual disciplines within different religions and schools of thought. I thought it would be inspiring to periodically ask a question to a group of thinkers from various traditions on the subjects that often confound me.' The question that confounds her today is, 'I have a friend who see the world in a pessimistic light. This person is highly suspicious of people and situations, and sees, as well as experiences negativity at most turns. Why is this and what does it mean? What can be done to help someone of this nature?' Well, it's sweet of you to think of me Gwyn, but I'm afraid the ensuing psychobbable from Deepak Chopra and others does not really float my boat. But never mind - 'Next Week. We'll be enticing you to MAKE some utterly delicious vegan pancakes, quick Asian tuna sandwiches, and a dinner you can prepare in ten minutes.'

A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
What are the odds that she can't cook chips.
ReplyDeleteShe waffles on a lot, anyone ever seen a school of thought in the flesh.
"Asian tuna sandwiches": interesting. I don't think they have sandwiches in Asia. Chapattis, rice balls and stuff, yes. But only we have sandwiches. They don't seem to figure on the menu of the Chinese joints around here, anyway. Oh well. I guess Gwyneth may have been misinformed. How depressing for her: some pretty negative energy could well be in the offing. I fear Mr Chopra's services may also be required next week.
ReplyDeletecan't make a pancake without cracking eggs...
ReplyDeleteI bet she is a regular at Enfields "I saw you coming" outlet.
ReplyDeleteWhatever else may be said about Deepak Chopra he recently published a very interesting book on the relation Jesus and Christianity.
ReplyDeleteI signed up for Gwyneth's newsletter, but haven't received this missive. I'm feeling negative.
