Comments on: The Mind Keeps The Score https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/10/18/the-mind-keeps-the-score/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Thu, 20 Oct 2022 02:13:33 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Andy Strowman https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/10/18/the-mind-keeps-the-score/#comment-1488465 Thu, 20 Oct 2022 02:13:33 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=193374#comment-1488465 Thank you everybody for your contributions and omments.
Otto Frank, father of Anne Frank, yes that fsmpis young girl, survived the war and the barracks the Germans put him in, by being kind to others and giving away at times little pieces of bread.
I do the same in principle.
There have been times the past has held me prisoner but I do all I can to escape.
Some stories that happened appear in my book “Mum and I”. Others in “Story of a Stepney boy”, others in “Transgressions.”.
I am very protected and try to protect others. G-d bless. Andy Strowman andy.strowman1@gmail.com

Well done Andy for getting past it. To think, our families held those teachers in such high esteem!

This thought could come in handy
If good bones make not to fight
Bad bones will take their place alright

A working class life, lived.
I second your lauding of G.A. whose eclectic posts are welcome in my life, daily.
Keep it political Andy!
I’m gonna get your book for Xmas, will be in touch.

I try to cope with it every day. Doing it in the form of beautiful poems is wonderful.

I wish you all the best for the future!

Love & Peace

Please come to the reading everyone. It is unique. The only time I have ever read at a public event with my brother Paul and my oldest son Jamie.
