Two shots of happy, one shot of sad
You think I'm no good, well I know I've been bad

Took you to a place, now you can't get back

Two shots of happy, one shot of sad

I do group work with this theme - this song ..................................
I go around the room as I have this song playing in the background.
I ask all to tell us, all the group, about these shots in their lives.
I go first to start with a level of honesty
Powerful
Why not have a go at it - email them to me if it helps.

Me?

At the moment/recent times .......

One Shot of Sad.
I will do the 'sad' first - and I struggle to touch many feelings of sadness - I tend not to dwell on them, they don't stick in my gut so much..
I still don't know - as I pause looking close at the keyboard ........ and I think of the last time I wept.......
It was when I was prepping for a gig and viewing clips from a film 'Freedom Writers'
It touched me deep in my soul.
It triggered deep feelings within me of humans who are so trapped in poverty, vulnerability that it /they .......
were poor in spirit.
Trapped in a poverty that imprisons the spirit.
Crushes their hope.
Just like Moses who, after his interaction with God on the mountain top, went down to all his people and saw them in a terrible state.
He returned to God and said -
"They cannot hear me because of their broken spirits".


2 Shots of happy::
1 Today I saw little Alan on his first birthday - TODAY
I touched the scar that runs from one ear, over the top of his scull, to the other ear and I am so so so happy to see him, alive and kicking.
2 The love I feel and experience - living with the beautiful human I married some many years ago ......




........... and you ............. ?
