Like you...

 Each of us is slightly flawed, some damaged.

Further have hidden fault's ,those slight imperfections not allowed to be seen by others.

All on dangerous at times journey.

All l suppose trying hard to be the best viewed version of ourselves.

 "Slightly screwed but still beautiful."

Steve McQueen...great escape actor.

True about me ,in better time you may feel comments also about you.

Life happens in messy way, we don't want others know this truth about us...can you share vulnerability.

But it's true of the famous actors, true about myself, guess even if it uncomfortable it true about U.

Challenge always brings Change.

LIFE doesn't grow in comfortable.

Develop better when experience uncomfortable situations.

 1 Feb - In the Heat of the Night - 12 - 109 mins - Drama

Already got my tickets, having bit of me time, walk, cuppa, chips then movies.

A black Philadelphia police detective is mistakenly suspected of a local murder while passing through a racially hostile Mississippi town, and after being cleared is reluctantly asked by the police chief to investigate the case.

SOMETIMES just need to invest in you, in all that throw away stuff of living, this is part of fullness of life.

drama, entertainment, not investing , simply enjoying.

Out and about, till recently we were not able to do.

Oh did l say whose starring in this film. 

The Heat Of The Night [DVD] [1967] Sidney Poitier(Actor), Rod Steiger(Actor), Norman Jewison(Director)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Heard this today on TV talking about anniversary of `Sunday Bloody Sunday`..

l know this is true.

             . . .Grieving is love not received . . .

Today l was asked...What book dramatically changed your life?

 Today l was asked...What book dramatically changed your life?

Began by thinking it is the Bible, but fell into this book ,draw on it daily

Felt too easy to comply with that Book.

perhaps something from University, or Victor canning- `Smiler trilogy`- `flight of the snow goose` etc..

Could l be philosophical,` the road less traveled,` or `I am OK you are OK`

what about Charles Handy's, `Understanding Organisations` .

But then l examined the Question again, Dramatically

that was the key , which ensured l choose the following.

 Serpicoserpico

Things get better..Katie Piper

At first tough read, but she reflected and honestly l was moved deeply by her inspiration, insights, life values.

l cried when read about Bravery

Grieved when understood something `Hateful` was done to this Beautiful human being..

Vowed would share this book , with many young man came to work with at every opportune l can, explored this book its is so essential to how we communicate Manhood to Boys.

If you get the chance grab a copy, learn the lessons, be inspired.

Never forgotten lesson's l learned from concentration camp survivor

 

Holocaust Memorial Day Trust

@HMD_UK

Millions of people around the world face prejudice and hostility simply because of their identity. Today, on #HolocaustMemorialDay, join the nation in standing against hatred - light a candle in your window at 8pm. Together, we'll remember all those murdered for who they were.

l recall times when shop became silent Great Mr T would say `Kevin put kettle on, go to Polish bakers get some cakes`.. then told myself all about corned beef given by solider to inmate on first day of liberation but kindness killed the person ..who tried to eat all of the tin..the way the guards made the Great Mr T alter the uniforms so they fitted better.( He was a tailor and worked Camp tailoring unit), hence his surviving the event..As ate our strudel, told me about change of Music coming over the speaker system in the day before they were rescued,the propaganda became about great man Churchill and Brother Russians who were coming..Guards disappeared, then British tank came through gates.Liberated to Tehran, then UK before fighting in Battles like 'overlord',retake Europe.

Passed to me a trade, Skills and Friendship, but lessons shared never fully appreciated.

The journey that life gave me, hope Great Mr T and others came into my life at that time.

Know how we valued them, can still see me making cups of tea has they shared experiences.

What is Faith, when God feels so far away.

 But why wouldn’t geometry equal divinity

1000 + 1 + 1 + 1         

What is faith

but trust in one & infinity         

One God, so far away,& right in front of me.

This l think is what pride is about,

Belonging...

part of an idea and something better,

Belonging...

part of community,

Belonging . . .

PROUD to be part of this `Dream or idea`

sense of better way of doing stuff,

Belong to something , be part of something, share an idea.

Hull City transfer news LIVE: Ilicali explains McCann sacking

" However, now is the time for change and for me to start to build, in what I believe will be an incredibly exciting time for the club. I have a philosophy and a belief that our project should start as we mean to carry on and that involves having my team in place. I understand the timing may look odd, after two good wins, but I wouldn’t be fair or honest if I merely waited for a defeat to change manager. That benefits nobody. I will continue to be transparent with you, our fans."

l walked along empty promenade, became aware of Gods presence, quite often at present

trying to focus on just the moment.

what l am doing then, trying to not feel so vulnerable.

Heard the tide coming over the shingle on the beach, sounded majestic.

The tide

The seasons

Night ending a new day beginning

all remind this simple soul Gods greatness.

El shaddai, el shaddai,

Your song saved my life ...The worst and the best days of my life

 pay attention to whom we listen, what we listen, Further to how we listen, then we can grow the art of communicating.

Well who else is gonna write letters to singers about songs that saved their life but U2

Are you a stranger in your own life?

What are you hiding behind those eyes?
Can anyone find you there?
Or just me?

You know your song saved my life
I don't sing it just so I can get by
Won't you hear me when I tell you, darling
I sing it to survive

Your song saved my life
The worst and the best days of my life
I was broken, now I'm open, your love keeps me alive
It keeps me alive

Your song saved my life
The worst and the best days of my life
Your song saved my life

IF l was writing list from my years of songs that have meant so much

it would be a very, very wide arc...

Flow through `Jim reeves Old Tige`..inherited track from mu dad.

Josef lock..Mum ..`hear my song`..from film same title.Bought her 1992 when she was ill.

Motown, northern soul..dance records played at gigs, artists listened too while attending a concert.

Larry Norman ..`hope l see you in Heaven..

Present day include Adele, Amy winehouse..Phillipa hanna..Jonus ..

Music was my truest love, rewarded me so much, here like here now..

sing out like today..Rainbow valley.."Sun always shine ..there one whose always mine ..down in my Rainbow valley"..

meanwhile in football and my home town team news..Grant McCann’s tenure as manager of Hull City manager is over, following the £30m takeover by Acun Ilicali last week.

McCann will be relieved of his duties at a meeting on Monday morning with Ilicali and director of football Tan Kesler, bringing an end to his two-and-a-half-year reign as head coach.

Little thought at end of day..

The day's brought some
Incredible coulers
towards end of afternoon.
Need to read more.listen to Podcasts
My favourite are Unbelievable
also the Archers weekly..
These ways of communicating by Android
vital, rewarding if very different to my Youth.

Days been bitter, but still get out for pleasant walk.
Breathe differently apply focus to simplistic matter.
walks help us focus, the `act of nothing`, while mind empties perhaps fills with `balance to issues` sat pondering .

 

SAME OLD SONG WHEN IT COMES...OH TO THOSE RUSSIANS

The UK should prepare to give Ukraine financial support as Russia could invade its neighbour "imminently", British government officials have said.

This is from main news journalism in UK and its aggressive , misinformed and worrying..

There is no historical precedent...

To put the words in the mouth of the president?
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie we don't believe anymore
Mister Reagan says, "We will protect you"
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
We share the same biology, regardless of ideology
But what might save us, me and you
Is if the Russians love their children too . .

Good job a balanced view is being put forward into the debate.

COME FORWARD
