England got thrashed in the Rugby League World Cupwithout even getting to the final
or meeting the home machine-like-team Australia.
hmmmmmm
Now we wait for the new season to start, a summer game, starting in February 2009. Come on the Saints.
Today it has been catching breath after our outstanding short break.
(Little vid here of the first tasting of Champagne!!)
It has been Church and a slow day to get into things in prep for a good and challenging week.
As always I need to prepare for events weeks ahead and my mind normally doesn't work well like this.
Thank you beautiful Gordon for the new Jazzanova album mmmmmmmmm
Thank you Ray for the Q Tip, J Rawls and Middle Child, Robin Thicke and more.
Big John for Raphael Saadiq and more ................ I have some great vibes to lift my spirit, including my captured two hour programmes by Gilles Peterson, BenjiB, Mr Jam, Pete Tong and more.
One great vibe I was also listening to
"Lamb of God .............. have mercy upon me ....." by our 50 strong choir in Church this morning.
I sit and listen.
I go to spiritual places where comfort and strength resides.
I need this.
I have the deepest of feelings for the damaged souls.
It comes down to the soul.
It is not just body damage,
not just mental damage,
not just relational damage,
parental rejection,
not just a lifetime of rejection ........
it is soul damage ........
a poverty that is imprisoning the spirit
Damaged by a collection of the above and sometimes more .......
and stuff we will never will know.
The hurt it can do to my soul .............
it is draining and the need and skill and awareness to stay positive and loving and affirming - is a drain.
But that is the place I want to be be.
Pain and uncomfortableness -
I refuse neither.
you are beautiful
may you take that beautifulness
into a place called
uncomfortable
where growth resides.
