Lest We Forget- It started with a tweet - #blimage

Taking on the #blimage challenge.

What is the #blimage challenge? 

You send an image or photograph to a colleague with the challenge that they have to write a learning related blog post based on it. Just make sure the images aren’t too rude. The permutations are blimmin’ endless.” Steve Wheeler, 2015

I am the student, this is my learning.

How did I get here?

It started with a Tweet.

Which moved me to a blog

I like reading those comments

Another angle, a different view

This leads me to another blog

These names remain

From my study online

This means little

To a small boy needing breakfast - to be continued.

(Much later)

 

I'm intrigued by this image

Which is a good place to start

Or continue this journey.

LEST WE FORGET

Lest we forget

The cable connection,

Our wings lie dormant,

Flightless, a dull reflection.

Until we remember

The ground where we sit,

Environmental impact grows,

Dug, like a pit.

Lest we forget

The horizon and the sun,

We crouch, crippled, stagnant,

Mind knots slip undone.

Until we remember

Our human connections,

We sit, stuck, rock piles,

A puzzle with missing sections.

Lest we forget

Peace that nature gives,

We stretch our legs,

Disconnect, run and live!

Until we remember the

Ever present moon,

Dark side hidden

Our chances over too soon.

Lest we forget

The "Good old days"

Our bodies not yet progressed

Catching up in many ways.

Until we remember -

Come down a notch or two,

We'll suffer malaise of overuse

Until our days are through.

Lest we forget -

The trumpet resounds.

Our minds need rest to repair

Neural paths or make new ground.

Until we remember

Life's setting sun

In youth we juxtapose

Technology with time for fun.
