MORE TO COME ......
When I was a battered youth worker in east London, leading a team and working with the street gangs and West (confuse goooogle) Ham Supporters .......... Greenbelt became my life blood.
I was a
'Greenbelt Taker'
and then I became a
'Greenbelt Maker'.
The best way to be a maker, not only a taker, is to become a Greenbelt Angel - see da web-site.
Angels have saved the Festival.
Angels will take it from Crisis to Sustainability.
Consider - please - becoming an Angel.
I am late posting as I am working away from home - feeling tired ....... not normal for me, late night wise.
I normally have to force myself to bed.
Think I will blog and slip into my zzzzzzzedz .......... :-)<>-I
I yearn to get closer to some I know who need to be in more contact with humans.
Social Psychology Research tells me that those who cut down their social networks suffer more illness. That is world wide research not just UK or Europe. Homeless bhps and others such as those from childrens homes, prisons, drug/alcohol rehab, are examples it seems to me. Family members are lost. Friendships discontinued. Community membership is removed as people have to move to gain support or housing. Hostels are not only full of those with special needs - but full of aching and isolated humans - Hunger - HUNGER ........... HUNGER
-H U N G E R-
We all HUNGER for;
-- Recognition
It is better to be shouted at or slapped - than ignored.
-- Stimulus
Babies do not develop without stimulation - nor do we.
-- Structure/Boundaries
We need to know that there is consequences from our actions
I want to get close so I can enter a helping relationship. That can only be done with their permission. That takes a relationship - confidence.
The very thing which cries " I am fumbling and stumbling" ........
So I will keep on . ......
Encouraged by the beautiful moments and seeing lives changed .......
Spurred on by those who do not look me in the eye ..... and then one day wave .....
My eyes widening when I get a smiling shining glance of the human eye - long before the face can be exercised in that way ....
The glory of God is a human fully alive .......
...... and I am about that business ...........
......... for myself ............... and anyone else wanting to journey .......
