Comment on Poem: The Night Sea by Stephen Pickering

Well, actually, in a way, your teacher is right. I was thinking in part about “The Holy Grail” which relates to King Arthur. In some ways “King Arthur” represents the best that is in us all, rather than just one person at one time in the past, and to this extent, he can be ‘woken’ up and made real now in us all. Yes, I was thinking, at least in part, about King Arthur, when I wroter, “The King is Sleeping Still” because there is that Myth that “He” is ‘Eternally’ sleeping on “Avalon”.

I thank you so much for your revelations. It makes me happy they could be of some help to you and your class.

I think that I understand the poem now, thank you, and I really enjoy reading it. When I had asked my teacher in school today she thought the “King” is an allusion to King Aurthor, which makes me wonder about interpretations that have been made about other pieces of literature. But I feel like I can relate more to your poem now knowing what it is really about.

Ah, Landscape means when it’s held sideways. And “Portrait” mode refers to when it’s held vertically like a skyscraper, when the longest dimension is held vertically.

Hi Elizabeth,

Thanks so much for reading my poem. The theme of this poem is that “Spirit” is born from Nature as opposed to being something that is separate from Nature. In other words the “Supernatural” and the “Natural” are not separate things, but rather the Spirit, which represents the fullfillment of the highest potentialities of the human conscious, is born from Nature, is the ‘child’ of Nature, as opposed to being something which must try to control Nature.

Why is the “King” “sleeping”? The King represents what is in your heart reaching it’s highest potential. The theme of the poem is that following Nature, your natural impulses, as opposed to only believing what others or Society tells you to do, is the way to wake this King that is inside us all, up, and then to have the Adventure.

And this “magical” adventure is meant to happen right now in our lives, not some time in the distance past or future, but what is keeping that from happening is not following our own inner Nature, or heart.

Hope that helps!

Let me know if you have any other Questions. I really enjoy it, and it helps me as well.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHEN YOU SAY PORTRAIT OR LANDSCAPE MODE?

Would you tell me the theme of this poem? I’ve been having a bit of a hard time deciphering it. So far I’ve concidered longing or discovery or adventure or wanting to go home, but im not sure. If you would let me know it would really help me out, thank you:)

Had the same problem of the home button not working. Tried the technique of holding the home button while rotating from landscape mode to portrait mode. It worked! The only thing I can add is the following: I have my IPad locked in landscape mode. When I decide to unlock it and use landscape and portrait mode, that is when the problem started.

IPad is working fine now. Thank you for your video and great instructions. The IPad is the best invention ever made. John

Comment on Reselling Rackspace Cloud Sites™ by Stephen Pickering

Hi Manny,

Thank you so much for your questions.

1.) Yes, you may use ASP.NET 4.0 with Cloud Sites. It’s not automatically activated. But I can make a request and have it enabled for your site.
2.) Technically I would have access to your code since your FTP username and password are the same as your Cloudsites account log in, but I would not have access to your database, as that is a separately created log in and password for each database that you would create within your account.
3.) Yes, I know. But of course I am more than happy to forward any technical questions you may have directly to Rackspace on your behalf. And I would give you my phone number in case you needed something immediately.

I hope this answers your questions satisfactorily. Let me know if you have any more.
