.............. this is Richard ......... you may know him. If you have not had the Joy of meeting him ........ he is a friend of mine who works with humans and desires to do that with with all he has .........
He first came to work with me a few years ago from the YMCA in India.
He is a great man ......... life is before him but, like all of us, ....... on a road less travelled ............... I had lunch with him recently and we chatted non stop about some eternal matters .......... hmm.
Now ..... me ..... when I am like this I always look at my self and the first question is ..... feelings.
'Why am I afraid to tell you who I am - because if I tell you who I am, and you don't like who I am, that is all I have.'
That is the title of my favourite book - and here in internet space I have the commitment to be as open as honest as I can because I believe that is good for me, you, and us all ....... in the journey of self understanding and everything developmental.......... so I want to tell you who I am.
I feel a bit strange - stranger than normal. The accident, blogged below, has resulted in my beloved staying with near her Mother while she is in hospital. My M in L is now recovering from the op and seems to be doing well. Joan is concentrating on being with her and I am spending time on my own and the strangeness I refer to - is that. I don't dislike it. I don't spend too much time on my own, I suppose that is why I enjoy the commuting, with the reading and the ear-plugged-iPod so much. I feel for Joan and want to support her ......
..... so I am journeying along this road less travelled and wanting to feel but also, as usual, think and be strategic about family matters as much as the other 'people work.' Interesting how you can walk away from other people ...... maybe they stay with you emotionally and spiritually - but with family, dependants, there is a greater responsibility.
Joan and me, and the Sheilas, lived for nearly forty years on the job. (Not much commuting in that!) That means we have lived in Approved School/Hostels/Family Centres/YMCAs ........ and time off has sometimes been difficult especially when the needs are so great. Now, with my new work, I go in and out-pour all I have - and then walk away until the next week.
I feel good about that.
My feelings are ok but live is uncertain at the moment ....
