WEEK-IN-THE-LIFE
.... seem to have been absent from my blog site ..... and feel neglectful!
.......... met with this great man this week - Martin.
First time we have met and, of course, the best place to meet is the New Piccadilly.
It was great to get to the point of human interchange without going around the houses.
We did a recap on our lives together and I discovered a man of commitment and talented to extreme - I could tell.
He is a man with a mission - a gentle mission ..... don't get me wrong.
He is creative and wanted, so much, to introduce him to so many of my friends right there and then.
As well as being the Editor of Youthwork Magazine - he is a writer with some great exciting projects in his soul and backpack. I will ask him if I can tell you a bit about them - just so yo can keep your eyes and ears open for him - and I hope he will be doing some of his stuff at Greenbelt this year ................. stinking wow.
Middle of the week I was feeling inwardly disturbed ...... sick - you know what I mean?
Feeling that it is time to be sick ...... and then had a restless night NOT doing that........ nor the day afterwards. The worst was a stench rising from my gut into my mouth! Every now and again I could taste and smell those rotten eggs!
Even a person I was 'supporting', in a 1-on-1 situation, could catch the whiff ........ how bad is that?
That lasted a couple of days. Standing up in a -crushed full- train coming home from work, that is as late as 7/8 pm as well, I was feeling that same sickly-sweaty-self ................ terrible.
It was water only for two days - and the third mostly.
The good news - I lost the half stone I had placed around my waistline over Christmas hey hey.
Got myself iLife all the way from Miami ....... most beautiful Joy got it for me and it hummmmmms with beauty.
I had to offload 10 gigs from my iMac and G4 mactop to get it on there but now it is beautiful.
With this - you will se a new pidotcom web-site - in about a month I guess. Also keep your eye on www.blobtree.com which will be displaying my simple mind 2 page web design.
It is so great you don't have to type, I so cannot!
It is so great you can just drag text and pix and movies and blogs and Pipcasts and singing and dancing ....... watch this space!
I am about to start a PIPcast on a regular basis - thanx to my mate BigJohn. But this week I must feed the monster. I have to get my tax returns in THIS week - stink.
Music::
New album due from the Cinematic Orchestra wow
Ne one too from The Gotan Project - wow.
And also listening to the new LP from Vespol from Czech Republic ....... hope to see them at Greenbelt this year.
and ...... the Gilles Peterson Radio Programme this week is ........ wonder-full. (listen again before Sunday at 11pm)
Got a few residential gigs coming up in the next few weeks.
Sometimes I do Group Work.
Sometimes it is Training.
These times it will be Facilitation - all about aiding a Team or Group or Conference to move towards decisions and grappling with real issues.
I just love the buzz of going amongst a community of humans and bumping into their 'beautiful imperfection'.
Not really knowing what to do.
Busking.
but
with well prepared options - and tools at the ready!
....... beautiful imperfection pip wilson signing off .......
One of the greatest reminders in my life - of my imperfection
- is this damn 'spell checker'!
