Summarize

Holistic: A Very Annoying Word.

People use it when they have nothing to say, but say it anyway.

Cup of coffee and reading a book, a holistic approach. Picture by John Rose.

Holistic and Holism charming words some would say, Induces cringing because following conversation usually displays shallow understanding or hollow boasting.

Unreasonable attitude displaying bias I will admit, Just that after cups of coffee and pondering thoughts, Weighing evidence and considering reaction, I’m still left with irksome cringing feelings.

Statement by politician campaigning for election “Climate change problems require holistic solutions”, Using word Holistic politician implied everything connected complex and complicated, Problem too big to tackle by ourselves, Wait until large nations take action, Politician’s speech excuse for doing nothing, Quite a few holistic speeches in Australia 2019, But hey, We can wait while we paddle around lake that was once our paddock, Just be careful of upside down floating cows.

Cheer Up, Think Vanilla pods.

“Hey cheer up”, Magpie sang to me. Picture by John Rose.

Vanilla vine is wild and happy, Flowers blooming hither and yond, I’m buzzing like demented bee, Pollinating each day, Pleased to tell you Now have over 40 new pods growing, Fourteen months to next vanilla custard pig-out!

Blessed be.
