sometimes look like housie with puddle...

OK WHEN . . .

When will l see you again...Is this my beginning...Or is this the end...?

Top of the pops 1974 ...I know still sounds fresh...Soulful..emotions stirred

Heard it said that..."No one buys vinyl"...Not true have to Look at gate-fold sleeve.

Still some Carry 12" delights.

Under sweaty arms to show Friends, loved ones.

This brave new world is dominated by cowardly people and cowardly actions...

New season approaches but this one Summer season still got life.
Many things are not feeling like they will emerge
into brave New world that could open after a pandemic...
Strange happenings in world that feels more disconnected instead of more as one..
Community still not reestablished.
Things that made us Human..talking engaging...social interaction..touching...
appear to be not happening...


This brave new world is dominated by cowardly people and cowardly actions...

Land of horrible histories, ...( Bit rich but ). ...smothering the free,

How shall we disdain thee, who are sick of thee?

...(what? do not get Why so offended ...gotta ask why still here)......

Woker still and woker shall our protests get.

God knows,what it is makes them angry,

God knows, we are angry, make us angrier yet!

Think there is lot l am missing in the whole ...'WOKE......' Plus BLM debate but convinced keep listening engaging will develop some suitable view

That the whole point of debate.......hope l can grow more aware at least.

Today l put spoonful of coleslaw in my coffee ......looked at milkpoured over my sandwich....... Watched a film called "Still Alice"don't have a clue what it was about? Life at 62.....

Today l put spoonful of coleslaw in my coffee ......looked at milk poured over my sandwich....... Watched a film called ;Still Alice;-
don`t have a clue what it was about? 
Life at 62.....
serious l did this..but know what film was about.
odd things happen..old men sit and think more
taste changes..
do not eat so much...
walk slower if same distance...
BUT must not become a yesterday person
Play squash almost every day.
Almost play Wii Tennis daily .
Read every day.
Cook fresh food.
Engage in conversations.
Exist in second person someplace in internet world
Listen deeper
Walk closer
Understand less....still miss people more....

My present narrative part of my overall biography. journey in life...faith package

Information processing styles
Factors such as gender, ethnicity, or age not vital.
Individuals , BUT ESPECIALLY MAVERICK THINKERS/DOERS...
think about, engage with new, uncertain, and complex situations
Tackling new challenges requires kinda balance between. Applying what l know and discovering what l don’t know that might be useful.

Further requires individual application of specialised expertise.
The ability to step back and look at the bigger picture.
Important skills abilities in how l function in `here and now`.
My present narrative part of my overall biography. journey in life...faith package

Echo chambers boom loud....!

I make the mistake that l could

do better in all areas if it wasn’t for them. 

Them

 After all, I’m afraid because of them, 

Them.

Like in the The Chrysalids
 that John Wyndham classic book...

Them

Feel they are dangerous, or they are holding me back.

Find in arguments when Them come up either l or a.n.other argue fearlessly Then both sides usually feel that way even about the exact same issues.  

We assume they are sinners, and even though we know we have shortcomings, 

Them....they are certainly worse than US. 

 Our shortcomings are minimised and theirs are exaggerated.

Group thinking becomes acceptable....cognitive dyviserty gone...echo chambers booms large...

As you been asking? as a communicator with huge interest in issue here professional explanation

Cognitive diversity has been defined as differences in perspective or information processing styles. It is not predicted by factors such as gender, ethnicity, or age. Here we are interested in a specific aspect of cognitive diversity:

how individuals think about and engage with new, uncertain, and complex situations

Echo chamber is a metaphorical description of a situation in which beliefs are amplified or reinforced by communication and repetition inside a closed system and insulates them from rebuttal. ... 

RELATIONSHIPS are often the key with so much in life.

Matter substitute issue...concern...exploration...topic..

Communications more then the verbal exchange with process differently...

Behaviour

Attitudes

Language

Negativity

In my mind, the crucial issue right now isn’t what people hear......
                                         WHO THEY BELIEVE

he slipped of a mint.......(A certain age methinks)...

The country's oldest polar bear has died.

Victor, who was 22, suffered with kidney failure and despite the best efforts of the veterinary team, he sadly had to be put to sleep.

Born at Rostock Zoo in Germany, Victor was then moved to Rhenen in the Netherlands.

After retiring from the European breeding programme, Victor was re-homed at Yorkshire Wildlife Park in 2014 where he lived until his death on Friday, August 21.

more vinyl less TV

Malta today started to welcome big touring boats into the countryHope it will be ready to  allow me back soon as well

More cognitive diversity required

More playing of vinyl

Less TV

Little less group thinking

More Serpico, Maverick people.

Cognitively diversity required........

Rugby player will not bend the knee recieves awful abuse along with threats......

While aknowledging the need to speak out against racial injustice, leading US evangelicals  have criticised the BLM movement itself for promoting values which are “antithetical to biblical Christianity”.

Speaking on ‘The Good, The Bad & The Rugby’ podcast, Vunipola explained his clear position on BLM.

“We were asked if we wanted to take a knee or not, and what I saw in terms of that movement was not aligned with what I believe in. They were burning churches and Bibles. I can’t support that. 

“Even though I am a person of colour, I’m still more a person of, I guess, Jesus.”

Israel Folau

Vunipola’s comments were made during a discussion about the backlash he received for a social media post he wrote in support of Israel Folau, who was criticised for saying that homosexuality is a sin.

Found that there lack of Communication COGNATIVE DYVERSITY...which leads to a group think type of mentality.

As people of faith l feel we need to listen being open to others views.

Now I know many will struggle with me here but l listen to others.

Hearing another's is not agreeing.

When engage we opening channels hence deeper discussion

May not like others view 

But cuppa further chat goes a long way in a world 

Closing its ears 

Closing its minds

Closing hearts also

Let's hear put all...but that not what this monologist society allows so differant values ,virtues,faith beliefs get left out.

Find many Christian either retreat further

Or become louder......

Let's listen more.

Jesus did a great deal of this...mind to recall Woman at well....lady pouring perfume on his feet...Late night session with Pharoicees l..who l do not see as a secret disciple.

Active listening.

Hull City will start 2020-21 season in just over two weeks time when they travel to Sunderland.

Hull city v Sunderland.....
From present near location. to where worked near,
 anyway for ten happy years, it an area and a ground l like.
BUT Hull city and Sunderland being this low in football terms
 is not at all suitable.
Greed
Ego
Money

All paid effort to bring shame on the supporters, and prevented economic well being, as part of the  experience that fans along with area require.
football
economics
emotional status
physical well being
spiritual growth

All part of the pint glass of life......What do l know?

IF you took all the books written about St Pawl placed them end,to end,you could walk directlyto the new Jerusalem.

Six interesting statements about  San Pawl . Paul's writings occupy less than 90 pages in most translation of the Bible, yet they have per page, generated sermons, books, monographs, further journal articles than any other writings from  ancient world....maybe Not however The ancient writer Strabo writes first century AD Tarsus surpassed Athens and Alexandria as seat of learning known for its schools of philosophy plus rhetoric. Paul's 'zeal' is not simply 'enthusiasm'. 'Zeal' recalls the efforts of Phineas who killed an Israelite and his Midianite mistress in their flagrant disobedience (Num 25:11). Paul downplayed his oratorical abilities. 2 Corinthians 10:10, addresses people who think that he didn't have much charisma and was a second-rate speaker. Paul spent three years in Arabia between his conversion and the launching of his ministry. little is known about what he did during that time, remaining a mystery, visiting Mount Sinai he recalled,ministry of Elijah who went to Mount Sinai to 'do business' with Israel's God. Paul's family shows up in the book of Acts. In fact, his nephew saved him from an assassination attempt (Acts 23:16-17)!I did not know that takes a bit of research plus perhaps some expert knowledge. some people make a living investigating and writing great deal of boring reflections about San Pawl. They are so gifted they write under two names ...one name for the pleds...that you and me...one name for the academics. They believe that this behaviour is not stupid but intelligent. Having met odd writer they are not very good at communicating one to one. IF you took all the books written about St Pawl you could walk directly to the new Jerusalem. .

Balance ...grace...travelling

What’s the balance between repentance and grace? 

Do l show enough grace ,?

What’s the balance between righteousness and mercy?

I feel righteous so that got to be enough to make me question myself better.

As l got older feel less correct about others.

Desire to be more understanding...(offer grace in better ways)....

Is that result of my changing or my getting older!

 Are some sins held to a higher standard than others? 

Sexual sins...l used to think so...what about thieves....

That been a struggle because worked lot among underclass.

Justified wrong actions 

If you condemn the sin, are you being judgmental..... And s it my place to judge.?

No it's not ....still travell or on a journey.

Not evenglical out for a kill....or get a result.

Want to know how too offer better grace.

Hello you beautiful colourful thing that you are!

All around is couler

Brightness

Narrative of the past

Here in the present

Speaks but makes no sound

Echoes something

Or we do not see this

We miss coulers

Feel it's in the way

Past times so it's not relevant

  

We see old people

Wearing coat on hot day

They sat on a bench

Little or nothing to say

We are not interested

If we could find a way to see the value of the past evident to us in this present moment

murder most foul...an event

Murder most foul......Dylan ace track is about event that effected him
He relates to it  55 years later..how...why...wrestles still
Linked to all formats he rambles on in that song...
Artistry and talent returns to the song .
As l listened thoughts what events become a narrative in my life...
Event that l return to...that forms thoughts...listen to storytelling around the issue
Call others to my Gospel of the event...how why it influenced my songs..books...people
Issue still wrestle with...event that calls out to me

Reflect on lyrics maybe some poetry recalls an event for you......

Why is that event important...was it normal if uncomfortable eve not like Death ,Birth etc....

Maybe your dancin in someone's arms listening to a favorite song...

But you never got to dance again..so lose..or faith Did you commit..

Maybe work called you away ...lost touch...that event still figures or that person

Are there unanswered questions

How deep...why does it enraptured you

Are you able to talk further or is it a you thing

Have you heard others share same or similar event....

I grieve ...........ask myself hard question...maybe you do also

75 years ago today an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. Those who experienced it and lived to tell about it, all described it in similar fashion: It began with a flash brighter than the sun. It was August 6, 1945. It was also the Feast of the Transfiguration.

The atomic bombing of Hiroshima was the world’s first use of a weapon of mass destruction. In the seaport city of 250,000 people, 100,000 were either killed instantly or doomed to die within a few hours. Another 100,000 were injured. Of this city’s 150 doctors, 65 were killed and most of the surviving doctors were injured. Of the 1,780 nurses, 1,654 were either dead or too badly injured to work. Hiroshima had become the house of the dead and dying. 

Take me away from those unlived life's

Echo down through time to here in the present
I responded
Heard my name called out.....it was clear
Frustrated by health at present
Frustrated in the long now
Not enjoying too much the silent
But know l heard voice call my name
Sure l responded

Do you hear
Did you hear?

The hottest day of the year

Even this decade

I am aged but feel young

Lot test ahead

Suggest more Heart surgery

ALWAYS THOUGHT I SEE YOU AGAIN


This life.........

In time of pandamic......

We believers became silent minority,truth be told added little comfort
To those who may Question.
Post Christian society.......become irrelevance...
So people led without a visionary leadership.

Take me away from those who enjoy
Unlived life's...
I am no false teacher
Just better equipped to serve the lonely....

Touching history

Touching history in the harbour...one summer ago around 75 years past...
Well tiniest ship sailed bring others home...carried precious cargo...prayers of nation carried..

They say moment s in prayer we're called for...sea was calm..just for few hours.

When war people reported back uncensored they stated ... prayers answered

Nation came togetherness have thanks in services.

Not once heard a call for prayers during this crisis?

Pause.......now start today

The day starts to unfold
Me back to 5 in the morning wake up.
Trouble being need a few hours kip at 14_00
That's two in afternoon for uninicated

Breathe
Let time flow
Be OK 
Even if Ok not best

Me and you allowed to be not OK . . .

Stood here at Coles corner...Album cover town

Stood at Coles corner tonite....it's Album cover corner.
In my head.......Gladys Knight singing
"Hard for us to think we're not gonna make it"
Never did

time came... it went..wind blew..tides passed

Seasons .then year's. Those old soul singers carried a torch and white lad...

Like many understood sentiments of a song

Me stood on Richard Hawley's...Coles corner

Head full of songs.

C19 confusion remains.....but take no notice either way

Blessed are the non conformists

The now non shoppers

Non mask wearers

Car drivers

Squash players

Meat eaters

Vinyl record playing DJ's

Coastal dwellers

Othopraxy practisers 

Readers of poems

Poor in money terms...

Long haired lovers

Workers of street corners

Believers who recognise wrestling with doubt 

Still follow Jesus....

Those who still listen to Tamla Motown...northern soul

Those who paddle

Dreamers who walk cliff tops enjoying danger because get better views

God bless U.....God bless U....

The BBC has been accused biased news reporting, failing to be relevant,according to damning Ofcom report

THE BBC has been accused of biased news reporting and failing to stay relevant to younger viewers, according to a damning Ofcom report.......

Communication to the older people with threats of prison.

In past young single mums went to prison for non payment of license fee..

Jeremy vine lectures us on justice quality and other issues while taking home the rich fools wage weekly...

Divide people with its reporting in favour of trans issues.

Ignores regional news in its current affairs...

Forgotten to reinstate local news slots..

Weather reporting like comedy ritual.

Unfactual boring ...biased.

Most programmes need email with good internet service to respond.

Nationaly never had respond to any of my interventions.

Yet regional been selected on few issues include poverty...social modiltie .. .football comments...Death in custody by independents news providor.

BBC like a old perverted fella who hangs around...humoured because he part of a lodge...

Anyway enough fence sitting for one session
