Rebuilding each other

 The coast erodes great deal in these areas....sea comes over none existing cliff's

Which leads to threat of pollution in water drains therefore into the system that feeds normal water

Not climate simply life.......

Walks feel desolate dark..... even when sun arises.....been long this period of a winter

Maybe not everyone gets to shop again

Some died in the Pandamic that's been present.

Life

Been lived we need to build in dark places where human spirit feel like it too been eroded.

Like a huge difference between you and your family members our friends we must no allow times we have been in toeto our humanity.

Seek each other offers care... love ... journey with each other.

Give God chance to lead..read Psalms... Ancient Story.

Everyday cannot be peanut butter and jelly days...

 Life wrestles person,feel struggling this day.but that fine....yes it is...everyday cannot be 'peanut butter and jelly'. . . some days it's 'Pork dripping with salt' on your bread.

Life at present espically feels long, nothingness blend's into more nothingness...

then tomorrow brings wee bit more of that nothingness.

Honestly l had to go through periods like that....Sun returns...find some new music.

Old friends chatter....walk someplace nice...eat well... thoughts turn to fact.

Simple fact...got past that 'sense of nothingness'.. to appreciate life you are living.

Reach safe harbour views look different....even stand on one leg for 30 second's

Life it's rich....even when it's slow and lacks purpose.

You want more.....sorry some days are like diamonds 

Some days are like Rust.

Sometimes we have to keep asking..........are you really OK?

You may need to keep asking......  what's going on ...but we should ask...are you really fine?

                                                 LIFE IS HARD !

Thatt great book recommended in my student days from Universty in Hull,'the road less travelled.

Starts with those three words...life is hard.But is it meant to be,why is it so hard for some?

How come we speak about mental health so easily,yet l suspect even those using this expression have limited knowledge about its true meaning...how you doing..well,the person posing the questions moved on ...you see seldom do they expect either an answer...less ready are they for an honest one.

So think before you ask.............how you doing?...........

 

What are you rooted in culturally

In What ways did my roots shape the person l became

Loved my upbringing

Large family

Impoverished town

Northern area of the UK

Church traditional and local

Professional training

Apprenticeship learned a trade

Friend's

Loved ones ❤️❤️❤️

Life....

What will become......

What am l ready to still become...

All people who Hung around with me... helping to shape me.

Thanks to you All.

Society that moved on from last week tragedy

 Six people tried to kill themselves in last month alone by jumping of Humber bridge

We discovered that those services offering informally resilience education

had been designated not required.

Society's do not work on achievements when most vulnerable not included.

Success is not measured by what you`ve got?

Nor by what you're doing educational

Or how much society thinks you're momentary value is!

The relationship not being formed, process of caring is lacking.

They have closed the bridge to pedestrians.....will that help?

Talking

Active listening

Walk with each other on life's journeys.

We live in a Society moved on from this week's tragedy....

Society that faithless

Society that in poor health

Society not interested

Society with out Leaders

Happy now........

My Easter story 2021

It's simply ....

Found this -'singlemindness'-  to journey with God.

Understanding more,perhaps knowledgeable about less

Also get up each day with this need,follow Jesus his teachings

'Got no use for broken heart',

let that pass by, l've got no need for Riches,no use for power

Quite simply want to further the working out, Faith.

Part of the process,keeps me asking is this following Jesus 

..being a Christian?

Well it's just better...better way of being...better in LIFES struggle...

wrestling with issues....being some kinda solution,it works.

Simply better when focus on Jesus.

Jesus example,words,further teaching..

That for me ...it's a 'better way of being.'

If nothing else

Stops me 

conforming

To Society's norms.

......that there, that's me.....

Somethings in society just gonna remain . . . .well oppressive

DWP staff and managers admit deliberately inflicting psychological harm on benefit claimants, engaging in unofficial sanctioning targets, and pushing disabled people into work despite the risk to their health, shocking new testimony has revealed.

A Yorkshire-based charity which works with mothers across the county to prevent extremism among children has been classed as the key to tackling radicalisation

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said vaccine passports will “definitely” play a role in international travel

An armed Humberside Police officer was caught peering over a wall during an alleged campaign of "stalking" against another officer.......

--sometimes l try just see if society is getting along OK without me--

Society and Bad Friday 2021

 

We left behind ritual grasp plus the need to examine Easter story

That what we have become ...... irrelevant to each other journey

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

Society, have mercy on me
Kinda acceptable you're angry if 

I appear not as woke as you want me to be......

Shouldn't we be interested

In each other journey
Society, crash and burn

If pain and loss it not understood

 
I hope you're not lonely without me

Life can be mix of unfortunate events,wrong decisions and actions. But as film (INTO THE WILD)..shows A human beauty can enable better. Life events can feel monstrous. Life still is beautiful

But let me say 'That gap'....becarefull not to big 
 

Sometimes we spend too much time retreating into Desert

Often gone on a retreat, then find ,perhaps running away, even just for short while , from here and now

We arrive back to that 'ole place' feeling refreshed.

Learn lot about ourselves in a place called 'uncomfortable'.

Luv the questioning on away periods

Like pace when we retreat

Try to keep learning

Write up, further reflect deeper

Our emotions ...hang ups...joys...fears...growing.. established borders put up...

learning we discover.

Equip's us for returning.

Sometimes only escaping ourselves.

As l grow old....question more...perhaps have l become comfortable 

keeping others distant  . . .

That's new plus tough one?

Keeping people out of our closed life....areas only few know.. .(Jarios window)...

Perhaps habit of roles played...person being V professionally persona 

Asking....is that wall put up...

Emotional barrier built to protect oneself.

Even holiday choose to go ....its for me same places,same hotel,same time of year.

Pilgrim journeys often been to same place.

Perhaps need discover a wilderness experience

can become comfortable being the outsider. . . .

Well!

What about you...where's your comfortable

Should you seek a ’wilderness experiance'?

To all the losers in the game today....here's to us

Conversion Lucci Shaw

He was a born loser,
accident-prone too;
never won the lottery,
married a girl who
couldn’t cook, broke
his leg the day before
the wedding
and forgot the ring.
He was the kind
who ended up behind a post
in almost any
auditorium. Planes
he was booked to fly on
were delayed
by engine trouble
with sickening regularity.
His holidays at the beach
were almost always
ruined by rain. All
his apples turned out
wormy. His letters
came back marked
‘Moved, left no
address.’ And it was
his car that was cited
for speeding
from among a flock of others
going 60 in a
55 mile zone.
So it was a real shocker
when he found himself
elected, chosen by Grace
for Salvation, felt
the exhilaration of
an undeserved and wholly
unexpected Joy
and tasted, for the
first time, the Glory
of being on
the winning side.

Feel old, powerless....just my age...(INTO THE WILD ,)PT2

 Watching someone

Someone close family member

They not well,health.. not easy....

They told me that _"l can not help as I am to close"_

But talked

I have listened deeply to another.

They shared with me..... that honestly felt Okay

We worry... feel sorry... emotional literacy and intelligence come to surface.

It's a journey.when one tries  reaching others......

In the Film....INTO THE WILD.... Chris,main young character won't listen,

Beautiful thing ..Humans came across his journey tried to communicate.

Hardships.

New knowledge.

Different view.

The main Character ... experienced unfortunate events.

He wrote...._"If this journey is ending ,Lord done all l can God bless"_

But he had not,kept others at distence,thought he knew better,would not take advice.

I too was like that...maybe you recognise yourself.

But there but for fortune go you and l.....

Keep on reaching...

 INTO THE WILD: I will miss you too, but you are wrong if you think that the joy of life comes principally from the joy of human relationships. God's place is all around us, it is in everything and in anything we can experience. People just need to change the way they look at things.

The sea’s only gifts are harsh blows, and ccasionally the chance to feel strong. Now, I don’t know much aboutthe sea, but I do know that that’s the way it is here. And I also knowhow important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feelstrong

Ideally we would engage better than have done previously... see little evidence of improvement....Nature like our lives can be cruel.

INTO THE WILD

Film really about being ideal......but circumstances further desire to ignore well intended advice along with wrong knowledge lead to unfortunate demise.

Returning to the Film later.

Listen to others.
 

Deep inside it's true l am a home loving Man

 Think l am

Just homelovin..

Kinda guy

Time passed

No regrets

Still on this faith journey

Love playing music

When we gig

Developing talkshops

Around life...living

Watching movies looking for inferred values..... reflection... listening.....

Level five communication...open...sharing.. wrestling... Not having the answers...

Well that here.....that's me.

So this lockdown...kinda suited me...BUT some parts not been fun.

Travel ... missing friends... conversation.

Hope....sailing back to port...soon.

Returning....to each other.

Lot of our feelings aren’t facts. Like information, sometimes despite appearance, not always true. They are however, very useful. Often can show us what’s really going on beneath the surface .At level one if we’re willing to investigate them. 

​

• Perhaps emotion of anger or bitterness you feel – do  you wonder why? Is that feeling growing
• What specifically is triggering that feeling? Who or what comes to mind?
• Why doe you feel that way? How long have you been feeling that way?
• Has that reaction or feeling become your go-to responce

Been returning to emotional literacy as we prepare to engage longer,move away from safety of homes spent too much time in....feelings....emotions...behaviour...relationships.

Prepared get ready to return ,well things that are no longer normal.

How are you feeling about engaging more with lots of others.

You can get ready

I am going to try two things ......nothing unigue ..sure talked about this approach here before.

1-- going to actively listen to others,more deeper.

2--not going to jump in with answers, or statements 

We should begin to grow into emotions....feelings...relationships...engaging slowly l think.

So take your time....Could try getting ready in your heart and mind.

God bless

Walking away from the Darkness

 Most of the poets I talk to knew there was a risk of death, imprisonment or exile if you write the truth. And even if they flee, they can also be killed abroad.

- SYRIAN WRITER GHIAS AL-JUNDI

That's the Dignity i claim for us as we gather bringing hope away from this long period of isolation....calm dignified walking away from the darkness...me and you...us

We are walking away from this darkness........ little hope in your heart

What been happening as the ground beneath your feet felt hallowed

 

Did you walk further,

Have you listened deeply to others,

Did you get more information about nothingness,

Have you invested in others given time to those who knew little about?

Did you switch off  TV sooner,

Have you watched the ground around your feet more often,

Did you think you would get this far?

Have you felt more humble!

Did you recognise that things are not as valuable as people ?

Well are you better person? Well......?

Happy Birthday to you.......you don't look that old

Sail the ship called Dignity

Life cannot always go the way we asked.... our end may not be so dignified

Another sad ending to life that arrived at shores localy....four months 's ago

We watched

Took shots with various digital instruments

Some reflection took place

Then on the back of a trailer to be put some useful end.

But difference between you,me, further that Whale.

Well

We're meant to live life's that are worthwhile......

But encountered today some who don't want to live in communities.

They are committed....to causing Hurt

Committed to living meaningless moments.

The drug's ..... Violence... threats.... meaningless gestures.

Please live a good life

Contribute to others... wrestling big issues... developing into wholesome person.

Make that one of your goals.....

Sail the ship called Dignity

 

Returning to each other.. . .taking place soon

WHALE MEAT AGAIN ON THE YORKSHIRE

COASTAL AREAS 

AND PROMENADES

Nature is sometimes cruel,

Nature can be difficult to fathom,

Nature can be pleasant,

Great place to spend time,

Also be place of unpleasant experience.

Life sometimes the same.

Had couple of family  days.... walking.. watching rubbish TV... cooking

Odd ,Missing Just `being with myself`

In Reality got used to `me`.

Glad to report....Need others as much as I need being alone.

Like this place we are in now..this long moment....needs to end...

Then we can all examine returning to each other.
