Do likewise......


Rising sun that greets this day is glorious

The piano played introduction,My memory recognized sonic....but uncomfortable struggling to recall the song.
`Who l was with` at the time released... perhaps `who l wanted to be with`.

Lyrics came over the speaker, words trailed off then,flooded back time,where we where

Enjoyed song so much..played again..Perhaps that is why went into a record shop in late afternoon.

Wasted time in most thrilling way...

Do the same..

  The fear is back

  It's returning

  Bit of hate

  Stirred together

  This crisis is winning as easily as Greed blinded people to       message of Advent.


Peace lost in that seasonal struggle.

This` jihad` ( struggle) is taking a lot to combat the inferences.

Anne Brontë sleeping near my room tonight.....

The culture that cancel the old ways is not replacing it with anything worthwhile.

Like Nero or as it Caligula? Whose many acts helped destroy the Roman culture,

replacing it with nothing that still exists.

One historical example, says he placed the new rules way above everyone's head.

Therefore no-one could read them!

Yet they still got punished.

Do you get that..do you witness the link with cancel culture?

Woke Warriors got nothing of value to replace what they fight to throw away.

Woke learners, Walked away from a lecturer at Durham university...phatic

Phatic further, pretty Sad!

Long Time ago but when l was at university we never walked out.

Debated... argument.. discussed....valued views of plenty.

Worked out ideas...rejected what was not relevant to ourselves.

Discovered canopy of narrative ..... Learnt lessons.

The road travelling appeared wide.

Development...inspired... struggling concepts.

Even later revisited old thoughts, ideas, book's.









Woke up this morning same view as Anne Bronte, still cold as winter returned!

Hey l don't believe in miracles but you know, l thought you might have the Grace to tell me how you are..to tell me how you are!

Who's going to light the way when things go wrong?

As singer sang from playlist..Colin Blunstone..from 1972.

Not wanting to be a Humble guy at present


When they grow up and you can tell how bright a child is....
You can only shout out and Praise..
God bless the child.

 God bless grand parents Uncles aunts and all community bringing development to our young children and those awkward beautiful teens.

The sun shining in the North east coastal area, as l said in our Charity cafe

.."It's does make lots of life issues more copable..."

Is copable a word.!

Struggling with cold is it my age?.just colder as predicted by Matthew, found last week difficult.

The need to be in community!

The desire to be communicating!

Challenge to be with others!

May be taken away again...so impoverished get further isolated.

While the better ,the richer, the more blessed, ignore any rules imposed by the Goverment.

They are amused by our inability to not be able to get out of this situation.

Being humble in spirit is a way of being....it's a way of becoming better...it's got no sell by date...it's got no money value. . It's worth aiming high to achieve.

But l do not know why God allows this l wrestle deeply with constant message of ..When you get to Heaven you will be rewarded..That's to me is a system error.

Like sinning if you drink or eat Pork....It teaching l feel uncomfortable accepting.




The Moon's a Harsh Mistress

Singer told me on music playlist today


Dec 7, 2021

. Do not feel any suggestion of `different way of being`, would be acceptable.

well was trying to watch something as storm gathered

rerun of  ..`l am a celebrity get me out of here`

No your not

Its boring

You have been fortunate to be born and active in this time

but not a celebrity

Got no talent

Please disappear from our screens . . .

 Lowest form of entertainment what happened to `celebrity` one time they had personality..`Cult of celebrity` sure do require a reboot


The First Year

The year after death
is full of stretching, where things
pull so hard your bones
break, because they were never
bones, were always solitude.


This season reminds me so much of death ..feel forgotten..locally we are isolated.Discover only have limited resources, older people mutter and complain about the fact that the past was a glory period.

If it was so full of Glory ...?

Well how come they stuck here in this `detached community`` isolated from family`..

Complaining is such a source of comfort..l sit feeling sorry because l do not agree, but just do not feel any suggestion of `different way of being`, would be acceptable to them.

That`s my Bad.

The leaves died..Branches are bare..waves are high..winds is mighty..Storm is noisy..roads are difficult..horses stand in Hoof deep fields looking lonely beleaguered and unkempt.

Mind you l need bath ,shave and to wash my hair.

Further my boots letting water into them.

Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time. - Tagore

One thing the documentary ,"Get Back"shows, about the Beatles over and again is these four men,

Paul, George,Ringo,John really loved each other,  playing together right to the end, Eating meals,drinking, chatting, For me not from this time, having just been born.

One, really great synergy a fascinating thing is to see their creative energy,

Second 'group Dynamic', helping each other with technical parts, writing lyrics plus composing.

Third natural part of the journey, yet so much we thought we knew was wrong.

I wrote yesterday a wee bit about my family.

we are what they call working class.

Chavs, low life...so many of us..from a council estate..like many great group members include U2...

What they said was not correct...

Yoko Ono was not to blame..they would make better and more music...

We got more brilliant music and generous acts..but we got murder and attempted murder,

John and of course George..

`Imagine...My Sweet lord..My Love...back off boggaloo.`

well last one a maybe...



    THAT`S ALSO THE CASE WITH FAITH JOURNEY

Never forget that God is love, you are not excluded, he loves you his words are for you, there is a purpose only you...only you can achieve.

Life not about stuff

 Who knows where the time goes

Life moves

We learn lessons

Like all families 

Get on with the struggles moments...spaces..stress..joys..it is all processed.

Sometimes a image is seen again.. memorize past cares, worries,treasure's.

How to process correctly precious moments is something trying to understand.


Life not about stuff you have,

But relationship you have.

Surviving the zig-zag fortunes of this present period.



 

Italian finance police in Catania have made 17 arrests and seized 432kg of unspecified narcotics in a massive raid on a Sicily-Malta drug trafficking route.‘Operation La Vallette’ was carried out at dawn by over 100 officers from the Catanese provincial command of the Guardia di Finanza, with their Ragusan counterparts and the serious crimes unit SCICO.


Kevanous Waller

can someone check my yacht for me and move it to Goza for few weeks DM for cash advance

...It was Joke...












When the wind is singing strangely, blowing music thru your head
And your rain splattered windows make you decide to stay in bed.
Do you spare a thought for the homeless tramp who wishes he was dead ?
Or do you pull the bedclothes higher, dream of summertime instead?
When winter... comes howling in.
The creeping cold has fingers, that access with permission
And mystic crystal snowdrops only aggravate the condition.
Do you spare a thought for the gypsy with no secure position?
Who's turned and spurned by village and town, at the magistrate's decision?
When winter... comes howling in.
When the turkey's in the oven, and the Christmas presents are bought
And Santa's in his module, he's an American astronaut.
Do you spare a thought for Jesus, who had nothing but his thoughts,
Who gut busted just for talking, and befriending the wrong sorts?
When winter... comes howling in.
When winter... comes howling in.
When winter' shadowy fingers first pursue you down the street,
And your boot's no longer lie about the cold around your feet,
Do you spare a thought for summer whose passage is complete ?
Whose memories lie in ruins and whose ruins lie in heat
When winter comes howling in.

 

Occasionally `the road less traveled sometimes worth leaving untraveled`.

If Christmas is a sport . . .whose winning . . .
  • Peace ......you can still vote....

    Greed .....you can still vote.....

Woke up this morning watch the news....it broke me l cried for another child killed by Parents

 

I grieved

Another child let down by society

I don't have the words

But again spent time with my nephew

Made sure he was told how much we love him

Assured his Dad we are there when required

Still grieving for Young Arthur

His footsteps playing in the playpit in Heaven

We grieve...


Storms...cold..winter,in my heart as well as on the coast

How are you....well l hope..stay close

Love is bigger then life . . .

 

Are We Asking The Wrong Question?
Are people simply not interested?
Has time passed into period when Google answers all persons requirements intellectual?
Sometimes personally answer from Jesus ,rarely sound anything  like what I learned at Church.
Surprised when mention this l get criticized.

 What about these storms we are experiencing!

One result for me, getting stuff cancelled then moved around.
Combined with some people being afraid to go out and about due to latest variant of C19.
FEAR IS WINNING.
But LOVE always wins over fear, that applies to Pandemic,  just as it applies to emotions.
Heard on TV programme about `walking in Yorkshire` a interesting saying...also odd place to hear this statement.

Love is bigger then life..

Nov 30, 2021

Some happenings so big that there’s always lot leftover.....emotionally work to do.

 Jesus did NOT say: well its been said before

in the song ...He Never said....

Care for the sick, if it makes a profit. Welcome the stranger, if they have the money. Feed the hungry, who earns the food you’re giving. Love your neighbor, when it’s good for the economy


Some happenings are so big that there’s always much leftover.Like the things that trigger me, one of my many negatives...getting too concerned...carrying the weight...not finishing a task before start another...reading three heavy books on the go...
HUGE one on Jesus by some foreign dutch writer..

 kite runners...trying and trying...got past first three chapters...

TRIESTE  "Trieste is a monumental feat of the imagination. Impassioned and lucid, it is impossible to read it and not come away with a new understanding of the world. Daša Drndic has given us a masterpiece that is not only brilliant, but uncompromisingly humane.

its proving to be a task..but gonna be resilient and complete reading process stuff.


He Said..

Answer a strangers cry for help

Love your brother as you loved yourself

You only have to seek and you will find

Forgive your enemies drop that grudge

its been ,plus remains mega cold...Further storms very heavy, cold, chilly.Then People and life.

Storms....`the road less traveled sometimes worth leaving untraveled`.

l do this because l do


 





l do this blog because l know its a way of communicating.....my view

A view

Wrong view

Different view.

Better or a worse view, its up to us.

Not to change the world but to show WE  are changing.

Not to anger anyone or cause harm to others...its just another vehicle of communicating.

Wet Saturday ,here is a great way to spend some time....

 sometimes a track on an Album stays with you away from the big sellers and one still played on the radio

Do your thing, on the beat of the bang
I'll put a melody inside of your head
No need to shout, what you bitching about?
I think those things are better left unsaid
She had a look you won't find in no book
And she smelt like 1969
You can blow my mind if you're that way inclined
All I know is I'm gonna make you mine
that`s from High flying birds and track called ..`she fell under my spell`....

often a soul  dance Album
Would have some gospel  social commentary track...always found these tracks deep ,significant..
Began to search these out, got so thrilled discovered others who did this..found on complication
 Albums track`s that l had lost, forgotten about, or misplaced.
Joy and Fun...sometimes l would DJ play a track like l had discovered this precious thing.
The more I think about it, I think you're 'bout to lose your mind
Some people call it jinx, some say, "It ain't my day"
But if you wanna know the truth about it
I'll tell you what's pullin' you way down
Yes, sir
Bad luck (that's what you got, that's what you got), yeah


Harold Melvin and the Blue notes loved so much about this Album...loads of dance tracks quite a few commenting on issues and events...including Be for Real...
ANYWAY HAVE FUN CHECKING OUT FILMS, DVD`s, MUSIC, AND BOOKS.

GALES ARE ARRIVING.....

Wet damp , as we drive along A1030 road with sandy coulered ruts. 
Leaf filled ruts where a car or truck struggled. 
Bare trees in middle distance, look like Bob Ross used thick black paint
(BBC 4 evening painting programme).
to demonstrate no leaves on branches.....
Old guy who never wears long trousers holds stick 
cant carry two packs up hill.
Its bitterly cold many slipping as trek uphill, 
keeping a balance. no one yet fell over.
Sea crashes over the promenade, feels angry tonight.






Cooking in the pressure stove way today.
keep warm meal for any who want to grab a plate.
Watch an old film
Talk late into the evening,
my illness will suggest l rest before others.
The sound of conversation will aid me going off to sleep.
Aware of time spent in prayer and contemplation.
Reflection and putting stuff in order.

That`s in my mind.







  • If you have, it’s time to organize, or re-organize, what you have.
  • Devise systems that work best,with myself its style genre of music..eg..tamla...northern...rock..reggae..
  • Go with the ones that work best in your home situation..Aiming for same size box for CD`s same size shelf for Vinyl....12``inch bags to carry Vinyl , again genres in same shoulder bag. folk 60`s are on same shelf etc...
  • One can cover anything from a 7″ record to a 12″ box set by exploring Google type search.
  • Once your  music is properly organised, it’ll becomes easy to take one for listening rather than hunting around and cursing the last user.....
WELL THESE ARE MY IDEA`S ON STORING MUSIC

AVOIDING THE CRUSHMUSS RUSH

Organisational charts –showing perhaps the negotiated, political processes by which they are created – reify the power of certain individuals in an organization. 
Lot of Church 'Organisations' use them, why, because the world does
The placement of names on the map is critically important, even if it doesn’t comport to how the PROJECT is run.
We in Christian faith need to be careful how we let the World shape us.


Our shape may not be governed by names on maps but more by way people are developing relationships.
Sounds communist trait ,but we should be flat based in our organisations mapping.

Was in several `community areas`, Cinema community gathering to watch old movies. Seen `Misfits....Cat on hot tin roof....miracle on 37th street`..its an informal community.

Charity Cafe...love this quite pleasant gathering just becoming community again.

Individual response to community, means some select to attend but remain outside discussions and actions.

Negative echo is drowning out the good stuff

 

Can you hear it as well
Others have
That echo that it should be 
Well simply put
Should be better then this


Its Calling as beds are burning let's hear the call simply a better way of being.
Faith community are aware Kingdom way , sermon on the mount way.
Jesus way,it's different it's better than what's on offer.
Talking with others...fast from social media.
Be kind to each other, spiritual to ask for help,good to receive.
Sometimes that way we point to....well it may be simple.
That not easy.... just better.so avoid the Crushmuss rush.Stay focused.
explore.learn..discover...pray hope and follow.

Empty beaches...silent harbour

At present the evenings are ablaze with created coulers...most people are commenting in a beautiful way all expressing wonder, amazement further gratitude.

Its comon link to each other

Been walking. . . investment in self.

Rechargeing own batteries.

Acknowledgments to my creator.

Thoughts been stored plus sorted.

prayers are uttered.





 









Witness nice things on the Yorkshire coast real sense of Godness
Nature shrill crys echo round empty breaches
Not long ago full of people swimming,eating,laughing.
Now silent . . .but not empty
Just not full of humanity.
Echos to return to different time
Different music
Different memories
Better way of being...... echo there. .  still in the shadows.
But it's coming.....listen carefully hear it..... like a whisper

November mass for commercial money grabbing 2021


 You know hard it can be

When in Hull Saturday

Trying to get some

Peace




But some lies are interference with that Peace.....very white older person's protests

Even funny.



Its Beautiful afternoon

Soul of poverty

Visible


People are making best of difficult situation, underemployment, emotional intelligence,

struggling wages low.... Benefit low.

People are resilient..capable in my hometown they are capable of getting by.

Limited income always been evident.

I struggled....but we survive simply the way of the game.

Proud to witness efforts.









Sun arises....winter sun but welcome...this is despite Dana singing about cold cold lonlie Christmas in November in the supermarket....has Music of the season ever been more out is sync with expectations?

Its Novembermass with 5 weeks stil Togo before the Madness's.


WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?


 Took this photo last evening, not brilliant camera just old iPod.. as moon rose silhouetted against incoming tide, chilly wind, Autumns arrived. Captured in opening castle Framework of Peir entrance.

Have l compromised ?

 The minor prophets Joel, Malaki, along with Isaiah. All came up today in our spirit filled conversation around ethics and kingdom values as...

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"
