Island hopping



 Silema ferry from Valletta. Cost €1-50


This was the Catermaren from the Island of Gozo Costs €3-

Early start to hop on hop off, from Malta. Health in body, further mindset been excerise differently. Giving me better ,'well being internally'.

As Sojourner, often concluding, thinking about whole range of issues, concerns, here feel better.

Being around 'culture' removed from rural coastal community. Identification of why, where, how, think differently.

Paused my thinking, confirmation not been clear, but journey goes on.

Treat yourself to time away, treat yourself to time out. Investment in your own being is what attempt once year, A practice would encourage.

Daily period each day, quietly begin. Further period end of day's final moments.

Practices would encourage.

Conversation with others is part of our humanity.

Conversation with others is part of our humanity.

Listening is a very healing process. Also to be listened to by another or group of Others simply wonderful for health.

Disagreements between each person are part of complexity of being human

Indeed from my experiance it's very uncharacteristic further damages person when lack of disagreement.

Further add vital part of maturity in child,when they are handling disagreement.

Agreement with out debate keeps us comfortable.

As often stated on this blog"Growth doe's not reside in comfortable"!

The lack of Community can be soul destroying for an individual.

Soceity functions better when we grasp value 'coffee time' culture.

What most of us need, even the detached among us, Is a good listening too.

Hope you find someone to chat with, Enjoy  plenty of Cups of tea.

Yes cakes allowed.

Get practising.



What kind of love is this..?

 

Happy saints

Patrick day

To all you

Irish by family's.

Or even by Loving Guinness.

Stay safe.

Mine, still be having cup of tea.

And there is love that makes a cup of tea... listens quietly


There is love that moves a mountain
There is love that beats a drum
There is love that fights for justice
Knowing justice won’t be done

There is love that goes to prison
Love that goes to war
There is love that rows a lifeboat
Towards some shining golden shore

There is love that makes a cup of tea
Ask 'how you’re doing' and listens quietly.
Slips you twenty dollars when your rent’s behind.
That’s the kind of love I hope you found

There is love that kneels down to change, Your embarrassment from medical bag that leak's.
That sits beside a hospital bed, while in pain you try to sleep
There is love that grads your wheelchair placing it outside, Gets you to the café buys a drink, then laughs. There is love that makes a cup of tea
Asks you how you’re doing, listens quietly.
Found that Love.?

Likes thousand times before..

Rainbow valley laughter ,sunshine luck

Long walks, hot bovril drinks.

Cold wind never bothered.

Always believing that grow old together..

What do you say to a dream that's dieing

Laughter was always on late night agenda.

Became old man, still see you in my mind.

 When l rest,hurt .. wonder will ever see you again. 

Songs remind you so.much in feelings, emotions, life experiences.

Lyrics alive inside at most stupid times.

The past creeps into this

Moment affects the day.

Glad, perhaps 'last person Centered counseling delivered'.

Lady had issues relating to a breakdown.

Had to sharply cut through some old ways she still had recalled.

Need sometimes strong approach if they are going to heal.

Suppose the harsh advice gave, was equally relevent to myself.

Also perhaps need some active listening, which is healing!

So it goes, on the other hand l doubt it, yes love, like thousand times before 

'One of those nights.'

Broken journey

 LIFE...

New appointments

New piece group work

Old adverserie to challenge myself

Late ferry...missed the Katermaren..ended up on wrong bus.

Wasted.

Hassles.

Tension.

Interrupted meal.

Retreated to explore these events.

Ended the process to begin again at another time.

Not often this happen, recognise lucky could cancel the process.

We have such limits.

We came into this life naked and we leave the same.

Someone on day you were born, bathed you.

On your leavings other shall bath your body

You came defenceless and weak.

Vulnerable  is the star when you leave.

You came without money and material things.

You leave with no money 

That's how LIFE is,

So asking why so much hatred jealousy, dislike, resentment and selfishness.

We have such limited time

It passes so quickly

This earthly journey try not to waste LIFE

A mother wrote this upon sad lose of her daughter, in grief shares deep thought process.

But heartfelt. Limited time and being bathed. At LIFE start and ending.

Life in all its fullness, feels at least better when appreciate your blessings.



The old Motown song encouraged us to, Stop look listen to your heart.

On the residing journey we chat,meet, share.

Someone said we need bigger tables

Not bigger wall's.

That is mega, gets my juices going, inspires me.

It's within our grasp, we have the being ,to do this. Very possible.

Some best parts of meeting for worship is sitting around having cup of tea, before departing forward. Into the week ahead.

Imagine place with enough so we can engage in fellowship move around taking period of active listening.

Which of course is a healing we should offer to help each other.

Imagine place where move through levels of communication. Becoming more 'open and Honest' with each other.


             We the People have the power.

Life can be Rocky path.


 If the road you are traveling appears Rocky!

Welcome, the wilderness is a place,simply has to be got through.

Know you told me.. 'your life is a mess'... Guess my silence could be misunderstood.

Welcome to a place many reside.

sometimes if the image that we project is distorted , it may still be the one that gets communicated forward.


                   sometimes if the image that we project is distorted 

                it may still be the one that gets communicated forward.

Boxing has an image of being a glorified sport full of men being  brave courageous even when defeated.Its not accurate.
At school the image of manilness and informal education was damaged distorted by poor teachers ,who were really nothing short of bullies.
How we present God especially self promotional 'Street preachers' can damage the image of a Loving God.
Can't believe that this damage will get corrected, so the image is broken often by person carrying unconditional sufferings.
failed relationships, broken marriage,deep trauma,pain and hurts of LIFE.
We all have these Shadows.
Finding salvation is  a thing, It's stuff that is good news.
Must be shared, but ranting ,using text out of context.
Shouting abuse, arguing further cause distortion.

How we present healing,promise of 'better' is important.
But l suggest that it needs to be sought, not argued into the intersections where we gather.
God is Love.
That love is patient

That love is Kind,

Love that does not

Delight in wrong,
Not proud nor boastful.

Love in need of Love today.

Love never ends.

Love never forgets that you are stil everything ..to me!

 I like Art wanted to be inspired.

Want to see life through art and feel Wow.

Stuff that makes me feel simply unable to achieve but delight in experience what Artists as done.

Been to this place 100 time's always feel inspired comfortable and joyful.

The churches here where am residing.
Also understand 
place of Art in 
Religious gathering.
Stuff full of richness. demonstrating odd but beautiful pieces of sculpture and painting.

Lot of art done as expression of worship to God.

Early Human nature

Is being shy one of earliest examples of humanity?

The creation myths, recall discussed not true events but creation stories are just that with meanings.

Eve along Adam gain consionse...

"we are butt naked"

They now have a shadow,secret, awareness. Guilt.

Refusing to engage
With our hidden stuff.
Can lead to Rocky
Experience.
I am guilty of not being able to handle uncomfortable challenges.
I shy away.
Not as assertive
As some others.
Like pilgrim in dessert.
I'd rather dig hole and hide.
Not wanting to confront.

Some people walkaway from marriage rather than confront failings.
Some find love not all love they felt it could be...so walk away.
Sometimes shadows, what we want to hide.
Perhaps if you knew my shadow that leave hidden away. Fear..fact my life is messy.
If they knew real You. 

May
Just,
Maybe
You Feel.

You
Are 
OK.

Value platform to enhance!

As journey to the place residing for short while..Ask is this experience going to enhance myself, or hinder how l develop?

Recently on this Sojourner asked to take part in something simply felt uncomfortable about.

Resulted in an offence being received when none was intended.

That experience not for me to suffer with, no intention was meant to cause offence.

Several times come across males who taken offences, when rejected what l perceive as unnatural.

The suffering they feel is not yours.

Be true to you and your values as you journey.


Wee bit along ...


 Some In the sojourner don't like conditions, or simply home is calling.

Their journey ends,without reflection.

Dialogue attempted didn't change that view. Upsetting.

To journey or Sojourner

 The road is rocky, no simple paths at times it feels complex.

LIFE.

Early start

Interrupted sleep

Poor diet, lack of fresh food and supplies. Do adjust, reality's, it not good nutritionly.

Meet other travelers.

Gathering in a moment

Seek solice share.

Freshen update.

Stages discussed.

Experimental data.

Onwards.

Got through rocky bit,wilderness fears. Always aware of this Greater power power l call Creator God. But some closely related to, they do not see things this way.

These make up multi dimensional paradoxical experience of LIFE.

This Sojourner enabled me to appreciate fact LIFE, like present travelling mercy's is complex.






I am ready, feel in my heart to bring Good news about LIFE and it's journey.

Do we recognise traveling through this... brings challenges, Pain, truths?

How do we share truths, Pain, good news with each other including those who not recognising.. Greater power?

As l prepare to sojourner ahead,

Our future is different from the past.  What you already know is not enough,

Don`t really need to know any more.

Further There is no practical guide, that will enable you to enter the future successfully.

Here in this moment,at this time you can process the best version of you to go forward.

Not only are we not Robotic machines,

The future is not entirely indeterminate because it is constrained by the past.
 
The future that l am heading into is the possibility of multiple ways of traveling forward. Several journeys need to come together,
but there is also the preparation getting myself ready for the journey.

As l prepare to sojourner ahead, to take up minor residence in 
 foreign place, Lets be clear, l always take, of course ` the road less traveled`.

Been finding that l am in conflict working out all the advantages, problem areas.
But needed a walk on the beach to Focus. Recognize that the journey would be an adventure not this task that l was fearful of taking.

THE JOURNEY HAD BECOME A HARD TASK.
l needed to see it as a task which would be rewarding
along each phase of the journey.
my thinking, my mind became more happier when l moved into the place where it was an achievable task.
even emotionally the journey became problematic.
it needed myself to Prayer.

Spoke to God , complaining that this was important to me.
You see it is. So therefore l reasoned it was concern to God.
We and our journeys however trivial they may appear are important.

Katie Piper in ..`Things get better` . . makes a similar point.

Feb 27, 2023

its neither Old nor New adventure, tougher with poorer health.

Unsure if clearly know what l am doing ,clear on direction. Factors like `bitterness` of the weather, organising  long journey struggle despite all planning being done.

Ponder afresh, also experiencing technical issues. Again and again presented with downloads.

My phone cannot hold all the info presented. Feel like own brain will explore, focus is confused also due to health very tired.

Then emotionally feeling of  `letting people down`. Huge journey ahead but some practical steps.

Difficult, this is where alone, not in a team or group, presents as more challenging.

This is often the place where LIFE happens, in the messy stuff of trace evidence where kind of Indeterminacy happens. At these times retrieve into cup of tea,bacon butties as world blows uncomfortable .

A common rubric.

The clock reads the time
Because we set it. I mean,
How else? Who is anyone

The grass edges outline the grave:

Get to living .#

Next few days will be time for travel,new places,old friends,away from stress and worries. 

Some ride out to promote crime and remember those who died stealing a bike . .  . .ODD times. linked with " crime in HU 6 Active", who carry out the Theft stealing that awful intrusive sort of crimes. Social media accounts carrying the name feature young people in balaclavas and black jackets, showcasing wheelies and dangerous driving on stolen motorbikes, breaking into people's homes and trying to provoke Humberside Police.

Riders could be seen pulling wheelies, riding without helmets and weaving in and out of traffic before Humberside Police closed part of Hall Road between Courtland Road and Greenwood Avenue to deal with anti-social behaviour.



 Yelkouan Shearwaters are presently visiting Malta These birds also evident in East coast UK

Shearwaters have recently returned to their colonies in Malta after spending winter in the Black Sea & will soon start preparing to lay eggs. Like many they will have to face hostile encounter with cowards know as Maltese hunters. 

`The common Rubic`, is we are all connected by journeys, how we treat others along that journey...some steal rob crash and then burn..others wait to kill wildlife and nature...rest of us travel passing such issues m reflecting...hoping for better and a beautiful connection in a beautiful place ..that`s the journey l am hoping to make.

confident you are on a journey like this.

Soldier on.....maybe agreement, discussion also way forward.

 War Good for some..common expression used is.. . "Soldier on".. Be brave, courteous, get through.

Sometimes you can't, you just can't.

That's allowed.... Sometimes like today..just feel like you can't make it on your own.. 

Flight or fight kicked in, can get from UK to Malta easily, but across UK difficult.

We all have areas, where if my life was Cartoon, 'there would be great big Kevin shaped hole in the wall'.

Planning, organisation of my practical leaving here fall into challenging area.

They say..."this to will pass"

 Said once before... hopelessness leads to examination of the past.

Jimmy Ruffin,Tamla Motown sang ..

I've felt this pain before,

I passed this way again.

Then again l reach for some advice,

This too will pass...the war in Ukraine, huge inflation, wasteful authority, poor performance, lacking social cohesion.

This to will pass..

Like the Pandamic, we have learnt, like the ressasion ,years of Osterity, deconstructing.

This too will pass.

Unsure when.






Times a great healer, but what are we learning ,time after time the poorest suffering.

Prices highest for those with the least.

Circumstances worse for those already suffering.

Illness ,poor health, inadequate resources. All taking the toll.

Like in the 80's l see no hope of a bright new tomorrow.

Saturdays alright for....lots of things ...

Tend too try not get results till watched the old classic ..'match of the day'... Treat yourself TV stable. If lucky that should be ...

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"
