Growth does not happen when we are isolated, only having encounters with our tribe.


WE OFTEN LAUGHED, WE OFTEN ATE TOGETHER, FURTHER WE WALKED,TALKED.

Life, passes and at pace the above image is from November 2008. Matthew introduced me to Orthonolgy, plus `Big Bang Theory`, and cathedrals. thank you son. Takes others to introduce `stuff`..use that word a lot. Issues , items, viewing, listening, Art, Faith all happens when encountering others, hear the experience they bring.

Laughter from the belly as Other person, watches favourite TV programme. Few weeks later its become something you watch ,share, discuss, encountered something.

Words spoken about Faith, God, Love, Jesus, Scripture...encounter occurs share, discussed, rejected, accepted..

Like the TV programme we have to be encountering Others, the lack of Others in our life, Lack of social mobility, Geographical poverty, can be a dispiriting experience.

We need to be moving around in presence of Others, encountering new even uncomfortable experiences so we can grow, further develop.

Growth does not happen when we are isolated, and only in encounters with our tribe.

. . . 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"
