GREENBELT ..
...... I have been away, to a Festival held at Cheltenham Racecourse called Greenbelt.
I have been at this annual event for 28 years - each year. I am part of the Board of Trustees. It is is important to me and I am back home after six days and want to reflect so I can unlearn.

I am full up with a life of learning and I want to unlearn. I want to rid myself of all the 'shoulds' and move to a position of greater freedom that I have ever experienced. I don't want to sacrifice freedom for security .....

I DON'T WANT TO SACRIFICE FREEDOM FOR SECURITY.

A Greenbelt Moment ...........
Every year I have a special moment in my life - at Greenbelt.
This is one - I have several.............

I hosted a show at Greenbelt. Every day I interviewed a guest in 'My Movie - The Soundtrack of my Life". It was held in the 'Groovy Movie Picture House' which is the only solar Cinema. A tent!!

I was interviewing Paul ....... and talking through his six selected music tracks - and through them his life. Paul was wondrously open and telling about his life 'as it was'. His beautiful eight year old daughter was hanging on his every word and his leg. Here was an interview - here, on this one foot high stage, was also some beautiful interaction other than my questions and his flowing responses. It was two humans connecting - father and daughter. I pulled my camera, always with me, and caught some beautiful loving eye contact and more and more - a photograph I will study for the rest of my life.

He was telling about the beauty and the hurts in his life - all formative. The sub-text was the non verbal communication and I love it love it .........

My soul has been touched by so many Greenbelt moments that I will HAVE to share more and more as the days pass and I journey into unlearning .................
