Location: United Kingdom | Ah but yes but no but - Columbo is much more than a 'cop show', which don't do much for me either/anyway .... worth a look if you have a rainy afternoon ... and some great actors/actresses have been in them and directed them ... Columbo always refers to 'Mrs Columbo' but we have never seen her, nor do we know her name ... really, do try to see one .... |

Location: United Kingdom | The first 10 -15 minutes of Columbo is usually dreary, as we have to watch someone who thinks they are a genius commit the perfect murder (it is not gruesome though), then patience is rewarded as scruffy Columbo enters, looking like a tramp who lives in his clothes, always a crumpled pale suit and macintosh, always with a cigar stub, driving a car that looks like train wreck, fooling the the perfect murderer into thinking Columbo is a fool - hence, partly the metaphysical element I perceive, 'cos of my affinity with our being called to be 'fools of God', or, in the Biblical texts, 'wise as serpants, gentle as doves', or as Jesus is cited, 'be ye as litle children' ... Columbo seems to me to exemplify those maxims which for me are wonderful ... maybe i'll add one as a signature ... |

Location: Nigeria | Happy birthday to your wify Paul dear - when enshrined in dreams one surely misses TV and movies as I do but will surely catch up may be in the sunny days when one would, as mademoiselle Lori said somewhere, 'lazy' about and I add frolic around, for indeed I love watching TV and movies, favorites; Matrix, Angels series, Ghost and a hoard of new one. I love romance, adventure, action and thrillers too. I Love All... When Time and Venue is slated, Movies we All are, More than being Watchers!
Hope you watched a romantic one with Wife on her birthday…
Ahmad...I want to eat what you eat and drink what you drink before you sleep so I can remember my dreams so clearly...I am envious!
Dear Lori, if that is a promise, I am eager! We shall wine and Dine And Dream Dreams All life long…
Blessings to You All! |

Location: Arizona | Wonder of wonders! What grace flows within the saqi's tavern!
The secrets of both worlds are an open book in his cup.
Why do you seek in the temple? What will you find in the Ka'aba?
Open your inner eye, look in the idol house of your heart.
Friends, by morning you'll find nothing here but ashes:
My heart also burns, with the same sorrow as the moth.
The wine of Truth the saqi keeps concealed in his eyes,
Whatever he pours in the cup deceives thirst.
Who is aware of this wonder? Without instruments
Resounds a symphony in the chamber of the heart!
Saqi, is slaying my desire your kind of mercy?
I hear endless ecstasy reigns in your tavern.
In moments of quietude, I often begin to wonder:
Is a musician playing a melody within my joyful heart?
In all your life, Darshan, nowhere will you find
A joy to rival the rapture of Master's tavern.
-Darshan Singh; Wonder Of Wonders!

Location: Arizona | Sant Darshan Singh Ji Maharaj (1921-1989) is known as the poet-saint of India. Perhaps he was indeed influenced by Rumi. Hard not to be, I dare say 
Ahmad, it is a promise

Location: Nigeria | Psychic Phenomenon 09-16-08 I was on phone conducting an interview with a beautiful young nurse I was to employ to be my assistant when two of the nurse’s younger sisters linked with the line and consequently jammed it, blocking their elder sister to get to me. “Who are you?’ One of the sisters asked. I must have told them something I can’t remember, and they began shivering in fear. I cut off and was back at home with my outgoing nurse waiting on me having served with me her quarter. It was morning. The young nurse had found her way into the centre for her interview. “How much of psychic phenomenon or virus-logy do you know to be able to work with him. You know he is heard in two states and that is big money you know?” My assistant fired. The young nurse just smiled and I awoke. |

Location: Arizona | Well, let's wine and dine! What should we fix for this first feast!?
Interesting dream, from a personal perspective, Ahmad!
Can we make wine from the Kola nut? I have a feeling we would be dancing on the ceiling instead of dreaming the night away, though!

Location: Nigeria | No, Me Lord! Let your Omar lie there where it suits him probably in a book - if we can not make wine from the ceiling, Signora, I suggest we instead eat fish in Harlem...
Love You All! |

Location: Nigeria | You Share…01-11-08 It was day time. I was lying on my prayer mat watching my wife and a female fish-vendor talking in our compound. The fish-vendor asked my wife to buy but my wife declined saying, “I will have to ask my husband.” I saw myself munching a broiled fish in my hand. I saw that my wife too was eating the same. “You and your husband are sharing a great secret,” the fish-vendor said. My wife left her and came towards me munching her fish. I saw a long black zip being zipped beginning from where I was lying to where my wife was coming and awoke. |

Location: Nigeria | Harlem 08-29-05 It was a highly sophisticated urban setting. My house was located in a mountainous region. It was early morning. I was seated on a rock by the seaside. I was writing my entry to a website that was collating data on the experiences of couples in family life. I had finished the closing chapter and was about to send. The closing chapter reads: “I wonder what prompts people to want to kill their fellow beings. I wonder the nature of subsistence which was so modeled by the natural law of survival of the fittest.” I searched the address of the website on the other palmtop in my hand which had a short antennae rotating 280 degrees searching for the destination to dispatch its mail. Soon the screen displayed a pyramidal set of modern roofing spanning beautifully in red and yellow colors. I adjusted the cursor and my destination came into proper view. When I pressed send, I myself was dispatched there live. I found myself at the gate of a religious site with six others comprising all genderr. The nun by the gate being the seventh. Each of them had the same type of my peculiar sets of palmtops. The streets were deserted that hour of the morning. As we waited, a charismatic old man, tall and well in shape came ambling about. He wore a long black coat atop a crystal white shirt He said nothing as he passed. But when he came around he addressed us thus: “Those who are unable to bring their entries today, it will be the day after tomorrow. Much money will be for those whose phones have large inbuilt memory capacity and power storage. Harlem, right by the gate, has small memory capacity and power retention mechanism. This is the reason why they are dependent on electricity to promptly function,” he said in a low and heavily accented voice. I awoke. |

Location: United Kingdom | A number of dreams last night, one vividly in Africa, where I was on a road coming out of the deserted wilderness, or bush, or savannah, seeing then many hunters of different races, such that I needed to hide and be careful; then by the roadside, a tree, with many trunks and branches, such that I could step into it, and wondered if I should spend the night there, but there was no suitable place to lie down, and i was worried about being devoured by lions; so regrettfully I left what felt like a very special tree, and wandered into a factory that was making plates. I was looking for a lift to 'Amaretto' (sic) ... and thought if I hung around the plate factory a lorry might give me a lift there.

Location: Nigeria | Mission Accompli 04-24-2005 I was before the gates of a kingdom with a handful of loyal and committed warriors ready to sacrifice their lives in our cause. The gates were made of solid iron and the enemy highly skilled in the art of warfare. The impression was that we were there to liberate my young and beautiful queen who was abducted by the tyrannical forces of the land. The guards were positioned at every corner of the kingdom. We had our fighting plan. When I gave the signal we launched a decisive attack which was swift, fierce and bloody; knocking off all my warriors except the elderly who survived, being able to fight healing his wounds at the same time. We had a long way to go, and the lieutenant having to grapple with his combined schedule began loosing speed. I had to relieve him to fully concentrate on his healing and recovery. I continued the fight alone and was able to knock the remaining guards to liberate the land. I broke into the cell where was kept my beloved and met her with her aged aunty. Our mission was accomplished. I took away my beloved and left behind my fully recovered lieutenant to rule. I awoke. |
