Time to be poetically Celtic. The threefold nature of the universe, multiplied by itself, makes nine. Here is today's three times three blessing from my favourite little book "Celtic Devotional", for Tuesday mornings in Samhain:

I waken my soul at the harp of harmony:
chord of grace, chord of gladness, chord of glory,
beautify my being, awaken my heart, inspire my soul.
The chorus of peace preserve my soul
this day of hard Winter.

Wishing harmony to all,

Who?

Oakley, you should know that I once started a thread called "Don't Post To This Thread!" and it ran to an incredible number of posts. Over 300, I think. People are just naturally inclined to disobey orders if they have half a chance of getting away with it.

Imagine what would happen if you installed a button in the wall of some building in Picadilly Square, with a red sign below it saying: "DON'T PUSH THIS BUTTON!!!"

And what if every time someone did, George Bush got an electric shock in a very sensitive and private spot.

What do you think would happen?

I'm sorry to say that my dear Mr Oakley is living in the past with his obsession with sprouts & the number 9. Every modern thinker knows that onions are far more significant, especially octonions. Once one has achieved that mental leap - slightly difficult for Mr Oakley's brain, one must admit - one realises that the number 8 is the ultimate number as it is the key that will give us a theory of everything.However,if we have a theory of everything then there's nothing left to explore so we may as well all expire on the spot 'cos life won't be very interesting. Hmmmm, maybe sprouts & 9 may well be the saviour of the human race. Thankyou Sage Oakley for your wisdom.
