May you in next few days be able to see colours of nature. Treat yourself to art visit.

Nature screamed today displaying in a messed up mixture of weather incidents. Thick seafret, torrential rain, wildest winds, warm sunny embraces. In that messy condition. While enjoying beautiful cappincino ,with Linda in Malta observed this flower.

Can you see the blue twinge alongside firey orange. Muted by various greens. It just got put there not created nor formed for us to enjoy. OR I prefer God created.


Over here on this island often come across Artistic elements that capture the colours of the Mediterranean. Visit often one particular art gallery, St James Cavalier. Images in a space where inspired. Relaxed, mind is fed healthy tonic. May you in next few days be able to see colours of nature. Treat yourself to art visit.
Maybe can walk for while with a lovely Friend.

Art helps,also confuses.










Would have loved deeper.

Would have walked longer.

Listened more actively.

If l knew then what l know now.

Watching.


Standing alone on a Saturday evening watching world that just appears to be circling from evil to wickedness. Turning away back to same old mistake more wickedness and further evil.

Asking again where's the Hope? How do we end these situations where we can't live together?

Conversations between individuals can be rich warm and honest. Where community's gather sometimes debate and resolution people move on.

Why can't we just live together in peace and harmony. Why does the family of man keep hurting each other. When we got so much to give each other ?

Old fashioned questions!

Training.

Individual development.
Community growth.
Impact upon Society.
It was 1989. First time encountered these ideals, this way of thinking. Place of being that carried with myself into practice for rest of my working moments.

Individual development. Place of gathering understanding of community. How these two factors impacted society.

In service training,spent that year put back into higher education. Gained first qualifications . This started to lead towards employment, then led to accreditation, again higher rate. Opened door to University diploma, Counselling,management sourjourner interment ministry.

Individual development.

He…..OK Guy…worth knowing?

He can turn the tides and calm the angry seaHe alone decides who writes a symphonyHe lights every star that makes the darkness brightHe keeps watch all through each long and lonely night
He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayerSaint or sinner calls and always finds him thereThough it makes him sad to see the way we liveHe'll always say "I forgive"
He can touch a tree and turn the leaves to goldHe knows every lie that you and I have toldThough it makes him sad to see the way we liveHe'll always say "I forgive"













He...by the righteous Brothers. 
Weren't really Brothers. But beautiful people who have made some great music.
Stuff like the lyrics to songs, stay in our consciousness revoke memories. Found Recently with Alzheimer's  illness how strong music can be in memory circles.
Must rediscover value of lyrics, sharing our music, value of wide variety of music. Space to listen. To hear who others are singing about.
Sometimes it is just music to dance too.
Sometimes it is just music to protest about.
Something in music is just about settling down.
sometimes it just about singing along.
Always
Always music can move you.

There a Place local, reserve you a seat?.

Walked some streets looking for favourite record shop, browse odd CDs, old familiar feeling. Know it's not human but still real thing.

Well asking you, suppose it's like an open invitation.







If you Stop up maybe, moods, thoughts, this LIFE bit messed up. If you would be happy to eat plate of pasta, plenty of oil drizzled over. Here found when eating, no one uses phone, so you know vaping, like dogs are banned. Just people wanting people type contact.

Corners you just turned, circles of cafes ,something feels like place to have small talk with lady friend.

No need or reason to hurry, maybe this is a town people should head too when you’re local. Never expensive gig, faces of people you don’t know smile at you. 

Near full bus pulls in people get off. Pavements feel safe, comfortable, OK holding bus so two Lady’s of Church can board ahead of you.

No sense of hassle or trouble, observe girls with Mum ? Sharing shopping triumphs, older guys on way to soccer match, full of anticipation.

That kind of sweet place world away from Hometown experience, really breaks my heart that this is not the normal everyday experience.














Place where somebody like me,reserve you a seat, hold place till can get here. Together we can look at Stars in the sky or just look at images on Album cover, laughing at lyrics.

Till that time, enjoy the coulers in own someplace else.

The grooming gangs in UK. Part reflection.

For many in British political party called Labour, what some call Lefty’s inability to face the awful reality of the organised grooming, further rape of young girls by men mostly Pakistani origin across English towns.

Something acknowledge ,spoken about at Youth workers senior monthly meetings far back as 2001.

Well it created clear strategy requirement from those of us on Street corner detached work. We tended to see stuff, involved among issues before raised in social discussions. For others ‘Bless them and pretty pink soxs’… severed their faith in progressive politics for good.

In a scathing attack on Labour party’s leadership,[Starmer, Corbyn, Brown]? the statement  “too many are still doing that today”  .  Results in them immediately turning pivot to talking about the 'far right' or Elon Musk. 

This issue  is not about them. It is about the Prime Minister. 

It is about the victims and their families, and Also very much, very much about failures at every level which enabled their abuse.

It's about dishonest way, method of creating false community's ,imposing large immigrants onto poverty blighted inner city estates.

Damaging community cohesion to false prophetic vile wicked belief system.


  Hears to the workers on the streets tonight  Here's to the lonely everywhere .

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
