I love this! But what, exactly, is a bodger and a munrobagger? We have a lot of colloquialisms here in the Southern US, many from Scots-Irish roots. But these I've not heard of. Congratulations on your many accomplishments. My list would be much shorter!

[alanwgraham]

Thanks for your kind reviews. I guess that I've been lucky to have had more time to pursue all these interests. A bodger is someone who turns his hand to all sorts of DIY tasks. A munro IS Scottish mountain over 3000 ft so a munrobagger is someone who climbs them (282).
All the best,
Alan

Ah! That explain the last name Munro. There are lots of Munros (or Munroe) in these parts.

I...human ... and a very full life in between.. love this for its simplicity yet profundity..great stuff.🙂

[alanwgraham]

Thanks Caroline. I guess that most of us do more than we realise. In my case I try a lot but am not expert in anything.
All the best,
Alan

I think that at this is portion of someone's life cycle... at some moment in time someone was one of these descriptions....i.e. at some point one is a father, or at some point one is a poet, but then you can also mix and match these to become a whole; a father, poet, son and so forth. I like what you did here Alan, very clever.
Best, B

Thanks Betty. Nothing very profound but I found it amazing how multidimensional lives can be.
Hope you are well.
Ragards,
Alan

Wow you are reallly all that?? So versatile! But what is your main job and profession. Wow scientist , is it?? Kudos for this descriptive poem of occupations, nappy changer yeahh thats a great job trust me.
Plz do read and comment my newest poem too.

[alanwgraham]

Yes Zaynap, all of it but nothing too well. I was a physics teacher. Thanks for your review.
Cheers,

The stream of life or maybe life as a stream. The flow of momments which in every one (if it were possible to freeze life) is truth and also truth in wholeness. Every instance will pass to become part of others in essence but not pressence. We are an instant or a history? are we a future too? also can we be a instant but an "instantaneous mosaic" so to speak? well Alan your poem suggested me all this, it is beautifull and refreshing in style. Thanks for the esthetic pleasure and for the momment of insight.

[alanwgraham]

Thanks Victor for your very insightful and thought provoking comments. Once we start to think about all our skills and talents we are more than we imagine.
All the best,
Alan

Strong flow of words Alan. We will be many people in a long life. We will play many parts. Perfect ending to the flow of words my friend. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

Hello Alan and you are welcome my friend.

[Neville]

... a mighty list .. be proud sir .. I know I would be :)

[alanwgraham]

Thanks Neville. I'm sure most folks lists would surprise them.

[Neville]

I'm sure some would be shocked ..

Dear Alan I would say that this is a life well lived. Got me thinking about my own list it did. Munrobagger got me puzzled. Would that be Marilyn by any chance? I share quite a few interests. Every now and again, especially if we are having a bad day, it is good to remind ourselves of the part we play on this planet.

Chris

[alanwgraham]

Thanks Chris. You are on the right track with Marilyn bit I called it a day when I bagged all the 280 munros. I missed out window cleaner ant trveller and a few unmentionable.
Good luck to England tonight.
Alan

Yes Alan, there are always a few more add ons, when reflecting. Ah, the football. Yes there is great deal of excitement and anticipation building up. I am looking forward to seeing the red arrows fly past before the match :)
