This present path of shutdown is so dull........

"The path that takes us straight to its destination is a dull one indeed. It carries only the one message and when we have read it, we have read it. The winding road, however, is a continuous story. Each bend is a mystery and rounding it a discovery." ~C.R.Milne #thursdaymorning

There me about to start rereading road less travelled...M Scott Peck.
Book starts with those eternal truths three words we don't won't to hear
Life is tough
Mind you there also the three words l like to hear..
I love you....
Three words FA lived to hear where
...let me pay....that women in general l believe ...
Anyway back to road less travelled.it talks,encourages us to examine better,listen more,stand alongside those with differant views.
I am hearing old ancient views,ancient words,ancient teachings still worth investing time around.
There another three words ...
Investing time in.....
Grant you courage to do this,soon as possible.......

Remind me sometime was the ole normal worth hanging onto

We must never surrender to the New Normal. Argument that few want to create future,with permanent social distancing, mask wearing most places,Asian people often have this, With unnecessary restrictions around how liberty.
We can forget travel. 
Let's shout out 'No way. Lets shout to the top
" We want our freedom back "
We want our freedom back"
As witness the struggles, let's return lost liberties, sooner then is possible.


Lot of damage being done.....hidden but abuse,sexual crime,theft,brokenness is seldom visible.

Blog to U from seaside town they forgot to close down

They closed down a country
They closed down the world
They closed long time ago now free speech
But they can never close our minds


Well only if you let them
Read
Play vinyl
Watch little TV
Connect with others
Espically those in poor health 
Espically those struggle
Give others your smile
Desire enough
Desire no more then enough
Follow Jesus
Explore his kingdom values
Doubt celebrate what you doubt
Allow faith to be child like...that means question ...wrestle...conclude...share

They cannot close your minds unless you allow them

Level five .......received this and pretty sure read this some place else

One way to measure is by looking at the content of conversations y'all are having or the level of disclosure members are sharing with.
A helpful tool for me to determine this is the Levels of Communication. The framework is typically used in marriages, but it works just as well for friendships in my opinion (as most good marriage advice does and vice versa). 

So let's take a look at the levels:

Level One: Hallway Talk- “Fine, how are you?” - Having a cliché conversation. 

Level Two: Reporter Talk - “Just give me the facts.” Reporting facts about other people and events. 

Level Three: Intellectual Talk - “Do you know what I think?” - Exchanging ideas and opinions. 

Level Four: Emotional Talk - “Let me tell you how I feel.” - Sharing feelings and needs. 

Level Five: Loving Genuine Truth Talk - “Let’s be honest.” - Risking complete emotional and personal truthfulness.

Is it a perfect framework? No. But can it be helpful? Absolutely.
Ask yourself today what level you think your group or even your friends are on. Then ask what's one conversation you want to start that will add the next level of depth.
You shouldn't go from one to five in an instant, but if you're conscious of all this and how it works, then you can slowly and surely lead the way forward in the direction of intimacy. AND know when you're close

Little by little...Denying Holocaust! Risen in my lifetime.

Remember the Holocaust. Never forget how it came to be: little by little...hateful rhetoric, fear-mongering, visible designations of discrimination, radically inhumane nationalism, white supremacy...all festering until reality reflected rhetoric, until... #HolocaustMemorialDay

I did not know the value..of those conversations.
Then l had so little grown up understanding
Last ten years reflect n my journey,understand better
I grieve
I worked for a survivor of concentration camp,he mentored me into trade
He mentored me into Adulthood.
Watched me boxed in a contest
Helped me learn to drive.
He passed to me a trade
Passed to me his own (plus others),Experiance of life
Friendship.....Long chats,asking me to run to Polska Bakers for half rye loaf ,along with struddles.
Cuppa ,treat, Then laugh ,pause, reflect times in camp when only had cabbage soup.
He was fortunate ...tailoring trade allowed him to be kept......not safe  . .Kept

I hold these moments in my heart forever.......miss that great person ....Mr Todryk
In our trade there were so many who experianced the war,even some who fought for Germans.
Jewish haberdazeries told me own experiances.
Some younger poles.They had too fight for enemy or die..it was when Germans occupied..
often happened in wars.
I am better person for knowing their stories
I am better person for listening to those experiances
I am better person because l was small part witness making better our society,
I get angry when some deny these people and powerful message they shared.

Eschatological moment's


 Waves sound loud as riding up shore....there is this boossieness 

Up to nine feet as they crash against prom......many walk like myself here,in very early hours.

Grateitude echos in my heart when near the sea...

Seasons end.. journey end...days begin...presently Moon and Sun appear in sky together

Little chatter....only bit of nature evident...first Crocuses.

Yellow tits.... Redbacks... Merlin's

Death

Death 

Don't mourn when my journey reaches its moment

Part of life ,the final period

Am l ready?

Unsure...
What will my legacy be?

Did l invest enough in others?

Have l spent my time in ways that are wise?

Did l kiss enough People.....well I tried


Did l play music loud enough...have l been with excluded enough...what movie should l have watched with others?

Responce to huge fire at immigration camp in Kent

The cause of a huge fire at the ex-military facility accommodating illegal migrants has yet to be confirmed, but the Home Secretary has reportedly called the destruction "appalling" and "deeply offensive to the taxpayers of this country who are providing this accommodation." 

Fancy some facebooked me asking to sign a petion to get this closed down!
I have been to these places .Let me be clear here 'better place then my own'.
Bills paid 
Getting fed
Claims being processed
Friends close by and not in danger
In the piece (of not surprising news) !Police confirmed ......
it is treating the fire at the Napier Barracks yesterday as suspected arson.

Migrants kicked off as some got the hotel treatment following a Covid outbreak ,
and some didn't, so they trashed the canteen and started a fire.
Unhappy being told to stay in the barrecks ......want freedom
Well so do we
I want to be able to move around freely
But we cannot 
Do not appreciate some people suggesting we British holding people came here illegally in prison
Preventing them moving around.
I cannot drive where l wish
People been fined going more then 7 miles from thier home
Family's been fined for meeting up 
Traveling 
Shopping for non essentials.
Return to that non essential later.
It's called a pandamic,liberal views are Irrelevent ..unhelpful ...hurt staff trying hard to allow them access to situation they chose to enter.
Not I fear nor in danger ....life is tough but they are actuly free...or where they living about circumstances and situations they fled from?
Non essential
S my desire to watch a DVD or buy some vinyl essential ...l did not expect to be in this kind of society
We are becoming very harsh in our treatment of each other.
So this is freedom
You must be joking

Still here in January 2021 where days fall not one,months don't change and years stalled

Often in past l would be preparing to escape
For health reasons
Getting ready to depart
Warmer
Sunny
Friendly
Talking more...engage others more ..eat better...see old friends same old tried tested vacancies 
Now everything rolls along weather cold
Hate social media connections
Hate espically poor bullying journalisum so evident on news channels along with news stands
Dislike this moment 
Where we are truly stuck in a moment we can't get away from.
Pray
Hope
Read
Connect
Travel
Communicate 
Still stood in a moment we ,you and l,can't get away from
Health issue...places where light still is alongside me
Got food
Got warmth
Will get by....just don't like being here...cannot see reason nor rhythm of life
Mentally safe
Money's ways safe
Miss that sense of belonging of preparing,departing,going somewhere
Stuck here in this place we can't get away from.......
You and l ....
Been long time since heard from a Forever Angel ....kinda hard too

Jan 27, 2021

Life is just too tough.....


 

WALK ALONG BEACHFRONT DEEPLY APPRECIATE THE PLACE... SENSE OF SPACE

ECHOES TO RETURN AGAIN.. OFTEN I REFLECT GET DAYS INTO PERSPECTIVE

PRAY.... THINKING...TALK ALOUD.. SHAKE MY FIST... LISTEN TO GOD.

COULERS OF MORNING SUN...IN THE POOLS FORMED ON SAND

KNOW SOMEONE HE STRUGGLING IN HIS PLACE.

THINK MANY WANT FIND SENSE OF JUSTICE......THINK LIFE IS TOO TOUGH

THINK THAT THOUGHT A LOT . .NOT LACK OF FAITH OR CHALLENGE AROUND FAITH


.....   ...  I..  JUST THINK LIFE LOCAL. FURTHER FOR FEW ..ITS JUST TOO TOUGH

Jan 25, 2021

Poor journalism coming under scrutiny ......been a while but turning,it's turning.

The TV news and radio coverage been challanged few ways this day
Surprised that BBC led. Twice.
Yeah shocked me...
Radio 4 ran informative hour at one o clock looking at ways in which children suffered during this lockdown
Many schools been hit and miss...in and out.
Homes not really suitable for learning
Socail media fails a fair few
Teachers not been committed ,that sounds mean but matter of fact.
Not able to assist each pupil by remote learning
Simple fact.Children trying hard,working with them


 l expect that resilance from them
Further commitment also present
But remote learning often choas and limited.
Real community required in developing socail skills .
Teachers cannot keep adjusting to changing situation.
Scientist also featured suggested no evidence that it was helping in controlling even more distructive virus.
Journalist also come under attack BBC for promoting great lockdown.
An MP spoke at length about difficulties being experianced it was last week was not covered until today.
Lockdown great if you got wage
Great if you can work from home
OK if secure with money.
IF not,then really difficult place to be imprisoned.
Rich are getting richer
Poor as always well....you can fill in the quote yourself.
C19 highlights further equality so evidnt in our country.

Jan 24, 2021

Radio BBC Radio 2..we have Jeremy Vine ...money bags and greed...also TV piers Morgan...bully and simpleton.

Poor journalisum in Hull newspaper suggests that those on UC ESA Other Benefits would revive £1000.... No story just fake news .

Immediately those are attacked for wanting 'Smart Phones etc...

Article states...

A Government source reportedly said: "One of the motivations of the Treasury is they think people will go out and spend it and help stimulate the economy."

The paper says the Treasury confirmed a one-off payment was on the table for discussion.

Promotes a question... Do you think this is a good idea?

 Looking after the poor is a choice making them victims of poor biased reporting an act of injustice,shameful also.

The newspaper industry and crop of present journalists peddle bad feeling,fear and promote low cultures.

Values many have little time for....sign of the times pandamic or no pandamic poor storytelling.

Radio BBC Radio 2..we have Vine ...money bags and greed...also TV piers Morgan...bully and simpleton..

We deserve much better.

Jan 23, 2021

Did a song say something like.. "there comes a time when we heed a certain call,we all come together as one..."

The past
Echoes into this moment..on the coast bitterly cold,struggling to stay warm day.
Perhaps hope finds the conditions difficult,wonder about future.
Psalm ,a song ,a echo from past ....hear it sonic ,reaches your heart.
Begin to sing internally.
Know own voice is aged and not finest,
 but heart is racing with emotions,the operatic underscore of where you find yourself with others.
Presently.

....There comes a time when we hear a certain call...
And the world comes together as one...
...there are people dying ...its time to lend a hand...

We got together addressed issues fought in team,all united for common good of others.
Lessons learnt a better way of being.
A better way of doing emerged.
Needed again.

Jan 22, 2021

Suzanne reids breast ,well nothing to local Robin...yeah but he not readingnews!

 



Really to read the news dress like that
Maybe the simpleton who bullies the guest need her alongside him
but really very Woman...not very empowering


Well went out came across this lovely local bird
She got quite impressive breast
Really proud and brown, not so reddish

Along mud path near lakes.

Giving pleasure,
Nature reminds us hope is closer...

In these times of underachievement

Nature whispers

Jan 21, 2021

Just wisdom and advice for each of you


Many need us to help support offer a smile

Invest in your walking

Reading

Listening

Less TV

More vinyl



 Stay warm

Stay healthy

Look out to others

Examine self

Encourage those struggle

Good news again this time on footie field....plus in wet fields

Hull City my home town team,produced ,so are saying,arguably their most complete performance of the season so far to beat  Accrington Stanley 3-0, courtesy of goals  Wilks, Whyte plus a Josh Magennis penalty.Taking over from Lincoln City at top.

Felt good listening enjoye d. Commentary on local radio.Not complete Te but heard enough

Ha d great day with. Matthew my son,rained but went out around muddy lakes. Orthanoligy watching ducks ,geese,magpies,starlings...sound of pipins also Robins.

Screates of seagulls,carrion crows loudness.

Rains came.

Had fun food and burgers....life at present but simple nature God given.


Jan 19, 2021

Asking myself what does the gospel the good news of Jesus really mean for myself.....

Gave me sense of being important to creator God
Felt that followed teachings of Jesus those Kingdom values
Well they made common sense 
It best way sense of being in this community of others trying to do the same thing
In regards to justice 
Better way of getting society where more are invited less were excluded
That was something l belong too
Then
Now
This faith in Jesus better for community for larger for myself as well
Got feeling that know was spirit of God...that sounds vain ..unlikely ...hard to accept
Enough for me to go on
That's me now still going on in that was
Then 
Now
Following teachings ..actions ..words ...of Jesus
That and more is my good news!

Jan 18, 2021

Police have been fining people for going on socially distanced walks and legally visiting relatives in care home. Well hard

Police are not social workers
Not pastoral
Not health workers
They are protectors 
Act against crime not be social engineering agents

Police have been fining people for going on socially distanced walks and legally visiting relatives in care homes. 
Where laws haven’t been broken, police have said such actions break the ‘spirit’ of lockdown. This is alarming, 
Watched with distress the local East Yorkshire police act brutal way against young teen watching Whale carcass on beach.
Not helpful only led to anger further future hostility .
Bullies acting well hard 
Not required........

My own search for wisdom.......like under cushions with remotes

  The mouthis a true index of character. It is through the mouth and eyes that all emotions are expressed. I did read once of a man whose nose quivered with rage, but it is not usual; I never heard of anyone whose chin did anything. It would be absurd to expect it to

.........A A Milne author of 'Winnie the pooh'....

Get lot of my wisdom from such source's...also

,Boy..the Mole,horse and the fox...

Comics

Vinyl

Lyrics

Bibles

Films

Odd TV programs may Question the truths

Faith is about wrestling with doudt overcoming fears



Here the day begin with weak sunset


 Here's to the babies in mothers arm's

Here's to the loved one's in another's care

Here to the street workers also youthies bit detached...

Here to you

Here to you my love


Let the day begin

Emotional literacy of precious beautiful song lyrics...haunting at times

But darling there you go, slipping away into a state of grace
Granted, this world is not a perfect place
Still it's the world that I'm in
Here I am talking while 
You don't hear a word I say
Knowing you're watching me from far away
Somewhere that I've never been
Don't you see, you lived a different life than me
It don't mean you have to be afraid of how
We're not the same, don't leave me now
Love lyrics to songs ...pass open doorway..cafe front...car audio..friend says listen
Rare sometimes on the radio...hear something a simple but beautiful meaningful thing
Precious
Stays
Returns
 Becomes more buy song on album or cd ..listen further
Resonate deeper,share with another.. Still fond decades later.
Forget the song
Then
Passing another place you reminded hear it like its new
More precious
More beautiful
More depth
More meaningful
Lyrics to a song..precious..beautiful..sad even..emotional literacy of a forgotten melody

Not so idealistic living rural and on North coastal


Guess when in 1978l was told you won't like rurul my older friend was correct

Guess l thought being young that not connected was the way to be

I dreamed that rural was calm perhaps idiotic. Like l was confused

But that being young


Now l know

Limited services

Poorer connections

Views are narrow of  cohesion



 

Jan 13, 2021

I am a poet and l didn't know it....

Slow stop..take a deep breathe
Stand stock still
Take a reset
Here the day cherish the sight
Notice your life as its passing you by
If Done that.........now what
Start again
Begin to breathe
Enjoyed the moment
Plus the relief.

Jan 12, 2021

When they attacked the exampt l did not speak up...my trolley full so why should l care


When they came for those without masks l did not speak up 

I wear a mask so why should l care

No l did not speak up

I chose to live in fear

My trolley full so why should l care
 

Jan 11, 2021

We seam tobe moving against those who are wearing exemption orders Another example of attacking vulnerable seeking to justify a police state...it's shameful

We have become oppressive in our approach to those at risk in this crisis
Asking unlawful questions
Not following ethical conduct nor behaving with symphysis towards those who are ill
Poor health is not a choice
Discrimination allows others to be bully's
I fear those who make statements about others health conditions
Victims of ill health suffer already 
Why does our society have so little compassion
Oh yeah society is sick....

Jan 10, 2021

Swim deep you majastic creature in heavens Ocean


GOODBYE majestic awesome creature.silently disappear..

Not supposed to be this way

However for moment we experience

Something of your valuable life

Touched many 

Have whale of a time away from this place

Swim deep



 

Cannot always sail away on a ship called Dignity


I know we want dignify but sometimes we well 
Just do not get it
Been said that it's a ship we can sale away to the new shore
But it's not
Family...life...love...faith
It's hard journey undignified
Endings...story not what l would write for you


Someone began a book informative book..with these words....LIFE IS TOUGH
TRUTH is dignity
Often absent
Even in death

 

Jan 8, 2021

To much standing in line...to much power to Authority...too much yes you must

Need more why
More no l won't 
More lets try other path one not trodden so much
To much surrender to those who abused 
Lost community
Lost freedoms
Losing dignity
Lack cohesion 
Community which was undervalued
Look sure better way
Sure if consulted many like me would contribute much more
But this waiting in line for abusers and power moguls to act for vulnerable ...that unsure of with complete certainty.

Jan 7, 2021

Sometimes song or Dylan states in lyrics what going on in the world....

Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal

There's not even room enough to be anywhere
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there."

From later day album....the journey carries on...from a 'pawn in the game' to 'forever young'..
To even this year...False prophet had line something like...
" not having time for people whose life's are Irrelevent " lyrics.
Speak the operatic drama of day to day life
Bee Gees love so right...the emotional literacy...capture heart,mind,feelings
Today these lines show up as observe America ...protest..pandamic..Whale dead on our beach..lack f community.
Hopelessness
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
........
"There's not even room enough to be anywhere
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there."
God allows us to psalm these moments...Bible of today there gospel truth being shared.

Hell on earth

Walked local streets looked up at curtains not reach
Overcrowded homes...
Heard children crying
Man swearing using C... And F...in word
Smell dope flooded prom where l sat
Began in my heart to grieve
Poorly heated houses
Poverty visible
Friend who got urines running down inside of his lower ground flat
10 months awaiting repair
Threats on the council estates where l visited
Dirty estate called Bransholme...felt like movie prison scene
Grieving...wrestled with worry plus concerns
Old person asked me for help...local services shut
Pandamic nothing hell people are living ....l grieve
Visit food bank soon check on volts further catch up.
Hell got a name it's called ...this locality.....its nearby another version
Something went wrong long before this pandamic.
BBC ..local media...newspaper ...journalisum ...Hell ain't even on the agenda
Professional poverty talkers all tooled up in bed.

Jan 5, 2021

Reaching for the top yeah reaching for the very top....all my life keep reaching up

"There's lots of hierarchies to attempt to climb & if you fail in one go try in another.. the point is, you're still trying to aim for the top & what the hell are you going to do if you don't try to aim for the top?

 Flap about uselessly & whine about your life? It's not helpful"

Jan 3, 2021

You'll catch me in 2021 still following Jesus,trying to be a kingdom person.

Watching old films on TV
Reading old books
Got new cloths
Money in bank
Enough worries
Still getting up at stupid o clock 
Feel bit poorly
Read old Diaries 
It's normal feel poorly this time of year
Normal and new year ....pretty OK
Praying a lot
Still following Jesus......
On the last year politics can l suggest ,'stop judgeing a book by its cover.' It seems no one told the identitarians. Weird cult of so last year 2020,They have spent much that period,judging and condemning people for their skin colour ,religion,networks,place f birth,imagined class ,also their sex. It's time to leave this skin-deep politics behind.
More individuality,more community,more dialogue.

Jan 1, 2021

Welcome 2021.....hope ..faith... conversations simple stuff required.


 Hope ... community...travel... conversation

Faith to grow..... vocational rehabilitation and

Tonnes of Love.

I live this joke called 2020

Can't touch
Cannot go out
Stay close
Keep apart
Dead whales
Daily excersise 
No Church
No pub 
Banned from travel
Stay away from coast
Don't meet up
Got no job
Got fewer friends
Apart at Christmass
Lot more deaths
Lot more sucides
Increased domestic violence 
Hull city relegated
Season ended
No live shows
Theatre's closed
Very few healed
Friends apart
People died
Pandamic arrived
Pandamic stayed
Pandamic stayed came back again
Brexit selected
Lords remained
Vote to leave settled 
I missed you more
I don't know why
I loved this joke called 2020

Dec 29, 2020

Are you awoke yet

300 years ago, slavery was acceptable. 40 years ago, gay marriage was unthinkable. 40 years from now, transgender re-alignment for kids might be a crime. Morality changes and one generation damns the other. Say how history works..
Sunday school and Christian ideals old hat
Racing at home could be a crime
Lockdown enters forth decade
Hey joking.........am l?

Whale pod deaths East Riding 07-18 morning update

UPDATE 7-18 council and (CISK )Marine specialist, going to perform otopsie ...they said in chat earlier simply looks like took wrong turn near Scotland food supply,(of squid )and low waters ,meant they could not survive.
Sad life simply hangs on a decision like that.
Nature call s all sorts of signals.
Allows us to ponder on life....l have been impressed by outpouring of sadness.
Sad but true this is rare Sight of such splendid hidden creature.
Many been touched by this image...despite how tuff it all appears.

Dec 26, 2020

The event of Yeshua’s birth took place on a warm night in central Israel, likely in the autumn. Miram, a young Jewish girl named Miriam gave birth to a son and the hope our people had carried for thousands of years was born. This Shabbat, we want to share that hope with you.

.. . .Whales pod died on our beach
Ice on ungritted roads
Honey Buzzerd flying low
No sun ....05 in car temperate
Delivering Christmass hampers on the actual day
Collected from our Church friends
People who received ......they shared wonderful present with two other homes
Day ended on dark county roads 
It had begun when day awoke
I stopped to walk on Seaside promenade before callin it a day...
Cleaner had opened the toilet so those out for a walk could use
So much kindness
Blessings
Many of my family working today
On the docks
In social care
Making PPE
True meaning of Christmass.........
Luv it.....


Dec 25, 2020

Too you at Christmas luv.noise.friendship.faith.music.peace


Dead whales on the beach
Blizzard snow cold winds
Shelves empty...money scares ...food enough..communication rare
Friendship still evident...luv absent...pandamic still on patrol 
2020

Dec 21, 2020

Well it's the shortest day of the longest most awful year we had experienced together

Community it's about belonging
On this the shortest day it been dark a while the mood of winter has captured my feelings.
Appear not tobe offering much grace
Nor do we l feel learning to be better as humans
We lost very things that make us human ..communication...touch..chats ...dialogue
What are we preparing for in the longest year end to this awfully long year
Long now...residing in this long winter
Even up on the snow drifts of Yorkshire at top peak it not as bitter as local community
Perhaps just in a 'too white undiverse community'...
But long now brings little evidence of hope.
Hope l give to you........faith mine drifts through this...felt prepared 
When possible engaged 
Met others
Witnessed kindness
Shared with others
Felt comfortable with being me...
Family and friends been close...nired me with own acts of concern and kindness.
Remain open.....God is close 

Dec 19, 2020

Can you prepare for this period


 Time coming to end for

The year of challenge

Perhaps this was period

We should been prepared

For...place Faith found wanting

Or we knew that our faith develop in this period..have values we hold firmly to been relevent. How resilient 

Has our character proven? 

What am l holding dear and precious?

I salute youths......wonder how myself at young age would

survive!

Hope had enough during this period.... unsure.

Dec 18, 2020

The day given to us.....a gift....


 The day given to us nearly over

What value did we take with us

How can we share that with others

In what ways can l develop further

Shared some movie ideas

Looked at books

Got out old Film to watch

Understood others fears

Chatted with good folk

Inspired by individuals who have  given to others

Not a bad Day

Dec 15, 2020

In nature hear this voice it a reason for this belief l carry

only things l have ever known
I was lost and all alone but heard you callin me home.....callin me home...l hear you callin me home...the peace in my soul....faith it's grown... still l hear you callin me home..
 


She sits knitting a jumper

Waitin for the home loving man

To return to port

Tomorrow become today

I once knew someone who waited

They we even me mocked

In a port city we never knew

That love was everlasting


Love everlasting went out of fashion you see....during my time in this place..


Dec 13, 2020

Simple steps....get us through long Winter of now

Spent lot of time thinking here about advice  present... for two reasons
I - do not have IT at home address 
2- want to be accessible with comments

THANK YOU FOR ALL FEED BACK.

Listening to music yesterday early in the morning as often do these days. No longer watch much TV.


















Simply listened to Deborah's theme from...Once upon a time in America ...
Several times allowed this to flood over me...read a little.
Odd had best nights sleeps in a while found real focus.
Like l say that's ODD bit.
Simple music

Dec 12, 2020

Please know that its not a sin to experience depression and anxiety.They are illnesses that can be treated. They are also liars that tell you youre not worthy of feeling better. But you are worthy. You are loved. You matter

Psalm 139 goes very deep into how unique,
How special
How beautiful we are
Even when being formed
Enjoy being U.
Return to this theme when writing great deal..something our society obsessed with Identification Culture ignores, 'trans community' shout loud fighting the beauty of a creator formed us?
Do not know what it feels like to be born confused, l have some symphony.
But do not agree with vast distorted numbers promoted by others.
What could be better then to recognise hand of creator in your life.

Dec 11, 2020

The journey that is U may it remain open and creative,full funny with friends a plenty

Let TV Entertain.
Allow music to Heal.
Comfort the memories
Settle down read a little.
Treat yourself to quiet period.
Reward yourself withChocolate. 
Hold loved ones in your mindl....even those gone beforehand..forgive first in your heart.
Carry no shame.
Steward own resources.
Draw a picture...on paper...let moment doing that enable you to drift away.
Walk keep healthy and fit.
Wrap up against The cold but still traverse out.
Remain in communication...get to the coast ,spend some time with others chatting.
Keep off social media as a routine, have days when not present there.
Value U.

Dec 9, 2020

Long winters journey takes me to the coast

2020 in pictures and word's

End of journey takes place at the coast

Perhaps it's true for people

Kinds feels like that

In this long winter of now




 A Year what a year challenge

Health.... communities...

Music...faith... Jesus....lost through Death family...young friends..you and l still not communicate as we know should... forgiveness...Life.

Was Gil Scott heron a racist because he used term Whitey....

No
Again no
He knew poverty...hard hard times...being from ghetto battled life troubles.
Drugs oppression...society..even own folks.
He had real issue with BLM mainly due to their racist views and the harsh treatment offered to those who did not agree with Marxist beliefs.
We miss arguments and essence if we dismiss others.
Check out poetry of Gil Scott heron...the revolution will not be televised...Winter in America.
Neither are those who booed the kneeling by football players racist.
They are allowed to boo
Choose not like or go along with the BLM gestures
They know poverty
They know innercitie
They do not agre with some issues.
5% V 95%
Loud actions are not reason enough to get many complying

Even in winter sun shines...views are brilliant...Faith journey in cold,dark still evident

Winter a mood
Winter is cold
Winter is dark
Winter is more Lonlie 
Winter season...winter mood...winter place
We all my journey into ....even remain in for a while...
But Sunday coming in a hopeful way.
God bless you in winter of the long now

The winter mood in a winter seasons


 Was l only person on the seafront yesterday

Well it's bitter weather ways at present

No shops nor cafe open

No opportunity for dialogue

Seagulls left

I wondered in winter mood

Wrapped up...

But solitary fine... occasionally

Part of spiritual package we should all embrace


Part of the cognatic scaffolding put up to develop character.....

Dec 3, 2020

Every road try to take....

He  God can take your hand and prayed with me, then sometimes in an instant, a crowded train or your car becomes sacred space.

The seafront walk, stroll in the woods. Moment chatting with friend who shares this faith.

It is really a unigue thing that is for everyone.

The wrestling part of the journey, hands clenched in Anger, quiet deep reflections.

Listening ...watching nature.

Not knowing...waiting.

The notion that any place we occupy can become a sacred space feels rebellious.

Cognitive Scaffolding

We need to get back into actual presence with each other
Construct build...better develop our relationship 
ZOOM not future
Again it diversity stops poorest taking part
Want to see in another's eyes reactions
Want to interrupt silence
Reflect and agree  
Test conflict
Resolve
Question
Actively listen
Hear completed sentences not interrupted high tec murmurings
What scaffolding absent from cognative space you inherit?

Never been monetary rich.....but don't feel rich in other ways either

Funny again car issues ...money
N a pandamic biggest issue money
Humble home ..work hard yet reality is money
NO
NO
I don't need any sending just sometimes all this you'll be rich in heaven 
Well honestly it's a cope out
I don't like or use the expression
Struggle with Lords words...ask in my name it will be given.
Not into prosperity gospel.......as l have said before,just a little Steak on a my plate.
Grumpy period over...

Need operatic dramas of non verbal connections

Found that people need real......real...real
Connections
True that Social media serves a purpose...important vital,but not real
Need to see people
Sit together even in silence
Touch if Appropite!
But Church fails in my view when distant.
Finding also that when people do not connect...lose ability to chat in casual sense.
So let's get soon into the operatic dramas of non verbals and humanity of connecting in groups
Real
Real
Real soon

Keep sane . . . few tips

Where did you buy 
What where you doing
Who did you share this with the first time...
Read
Read
Differant stuff 
Switch off TV
Walk ...l go along sea front after tablets and first cuppa 
Walk near to end of my day...stay in touch connect
Sit and pray...just sit if you don't pray but want to Spiritualty connect with God
Just sit
Light a candle
Sit
Be aware of your thoughts...treasure the silence

Stay sane.....

5% make the noise 95% have to comply

WThey say that if offended it's part of life
Develops your mind
Emotional responce to be offended
Increasingly in these mind health ID issues....people don't want offence
But 5% of social media are loud and try to prevent 95% have discourse
Twitter
Instagram
Facebook
Controllers of the social culture wars.....but human development further growth takes place
in disharmony...discussion...discord...leads to discovery
I may at times offend
I may be offended by you
But to create offence just to offend is not the same.
Like Islamic offence.....l would choose not to offend...but accept others may.
As a faith of Jesus the saviour follower....l get offended by name....Christ ..God 
being used as swear words.
But offence is allowed.
It's in our nature.
So is being kind
Being polite.
Being thoughtful.
Being offensive .....its part of the narrative.

Society that is ill.....not because of pandamic.

Barnardo’s, founded in 1866, large UK kids’ charity . Launched into racial politics, releasing White Privilege – A Guide for Parents. Yes it explains what white privilege is, how it manifests itself, how parents should approach racial issues,finally how should raise their children to be aware wokenisum issue.

The first thing that strikes you is that throughout the document, the ‘b’ in the word ‘Black’ is capitalised, and the ‘w’ in the word ‘white’ is not.

While these (professionalvulnerable agencies) parachute into work with poor kidz ,they always return after 4-30 early evening to own -Woke community's -to further develop ideas that only creat further disadvantage.

They are the privileged few, not poor impoverished White kidz nor community's they often come from.

But this is not what anyone cares about,BARNARDOS they just want to be seen to be 'vocal slaves' in the current echo chamber.

These are not correct concerns,they are concerns of elite.

This society is ill but got nothing to do with a pandamic.

Whoever suggested that buying a CD or a Book maybe DVD was not essential.

How do you suggest what essential or not!
I have limited IT access so the books,magazines,CDs etc are part of my connection and sanity.
To me you choose what classed as essential.
We have become real good at telling others 
What to do
What to have
Even what they say
Essential we discover freedom....

Who are we .........what our role and purpose

Are we developing as humans in this huge challange we are stranded in?
Many working hard to enable others
Social care workers funny title many not social workers not care workers
Not community development nor youth workers
Really only know 
We need them
Never been paid true value
Perhaps person Centered and small group workers will be championed more when we evaluate
this period.

Who do you want on conversation menu ...what topics?

 Been busy lately phone ,email, lot less us
Too much me 
Society which feels different searching for another normal
But we had one bite to change
Concerning that we appears not learnt much from 8 months lockdown
Either way we are one week into doing it again

Surprise that we not looking deeply into large stuff of 
Where we going
What does death look like?
Lie what does it mean ...in whole it's beautiful creative potential?
Who leads us?


















Where we heading,?
How are you?
What do you want on a conversation menu?
Who do you want to sit chat with?

Same coin two sides of society.

We hear about links to organised crime about anti social behaviour , may witness evidence of drug dealing every day. Smell plus see the drug...

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"
