This song
this feeling song
this deep and moving song .......

Is not a favourite song
because 'favourite', THE WORD
will not fit

This track means so much to me
It reminds me of a life lost
on Easter Day
YES
Easter Day

I am not talking Divine life
I am talking human precious life

I will Blog about that precious life on EASTER DAY ......





My skybox making grinding noises
&
need it for big game tonight.

Me and Mrs Beautiful talk about the game all week.
Last week has been references as being 'born again'
after our bad run of four losses.

We thrashed the World Champions LEEDS last Sunday night.
46 - 6

46 - 6

It was heaven.
We just don't lose
we are always pretty much up there with the top teams.
We ARE a top team.
But we were off-form until last week when we struck form.
So tonight ....... it is

Warrington #RugbyLeague
Top of the Table leaders v
my team the Saints
8pm #COYS2012

So we play Wires tonight
and next week the local Derby
We play the Pies

“Real communication occurs when we listen with understanding -
to see thee idea and attitude from the other person’s point of view,
to sense how it feels to them,
to achieve their frame of reference
in regard to the thing they are talking about.”

Martin Wroe - a great talk for Lent


Listen now (15 minutes)

Last broadcast on Sunday, 14:45 on BBC Radio 4 (see all broadcasts).

Synopsis

Writer and journalist, Martin Wroe, Martin Wroe explores the ethics of virtue where the individual is at its most divine when working in community.

In the wake of political and social reactions to the financial crisis, austerity measures and the riots of 2011, debate continues to determine the role of the individual and society. The 2012 Lent Talks consider the relationship between the individual and the collective. Is each person one alone or one of many? Is it the human condition to be self-contained or to belong to the family, the tribe, the congregation, the nation? We live in groups but our most intense experiences are incommunicable. Jesus shared a communal last supper but he died an outcast, abandoned and rejected by his people, his disciples and (apparently) his Father.

THE POWER OF THE SPOKEN WORD


A short poem – called ‘Knock Knock’ –
is that it shares the heartache of a boy
who loses the father he loves
and mentors himself to manhood
in a way that both honours himself
and his father’s greatness –
inspite of the mistakes his father made.

.



Even a happy life cannot be without
a measure of darkness,
and the word happy
would lose its meaning
if it were not balanced by sadness.
It is far better to take things
as they come along
with patience and equanimity.'


Carl Jung

• THE STRESS FACTOR •

The most obvious way in which the mind adversely affects the body is through stress. For instance, imagine you are trying to squeeze some toothpaste out of a tube but you have forgotten to take the top off (or to flip the lid).

What happens?

It has to find some other way out.

This usually means that the toothpaste emerges from the bottom of the tube, or perhaps forces a hole in the side - whichever is the weakest point.

The Blob Tree Tools come in handy. They are a gentle non-threatening method to encourage communication.





I have young humans on my mind.
They always linger
following a session of development with them.

I can picture them.
Their comments rerun in my mind.
Their behaviour -
avoidence of anything which triggers minor insecurity.

The amazment that they find themselves digging into their soul -
maybe revealing their true selves.
A little.
Maybe discovering more about themselves
because they are spilling.

It has taken a slow lead in.
The Blob Tools come in handy.
They are a gentle non-threatening method
to encourage communication.

Every drop of communication

adds to a gentle relationship building
with each other
with me.


Just going in doing one session
is not working in fertile ground.
If there is a series of sessions planned -
that can go into the design to work differently.
Knowing there can be more than one session
also gives time for their reflection between weekly sessions.

I love it.

It is tough because sometimes
there is little immediate responses.

I expect the worst
and delight in any glimmer.
Any glimmer of opening up
like a flower to the sun.
Towards becoming
becoming
all that they can become .......





It is a sign of intimate friendship,
when speech flows
freely from the heart.



Rumi

Hope you don't mind the criticism but why on earth have you given your blog a black background? I think it's bloody awful. Not very geriatric friendly...I can hardly read it, and it doesn't reflect your usually bright and often nauseatingly breezy personality. It's depressing! Change it back to something less funereal please!!!

"People travel to wonder
at the height of the mountains,
at the huge wave of the seas,

they pass by
themselves
without wondering."

Place
depends on relationships
and
memories as much as on
physical features.
It is a complex network
of relationships,
connections and
continuities of
physical,
social and
cultural conditions
that describe
my actions,
my response,
my awareness and
that
gives shape and
content to
the very life that is
me’
