Take a living child and sew him up in a dead mans skin.
I read that recently, about how children become their Grandfather,
or Grandmother, with values, attitudes, principles and behaviour.
Grandfather has come back to life.
'Each recruit of the human race
is a the instrument for what is called socialisation,
that is, getting each new recruit to the human race
to behave and experience in substantially
the same way as those who are already here.'
As I see it, my Mission is about facilitating opportunities
for humans to grow and develop to be all that they can become.
"A caterpillar looks nothing like a butterfly but one develops from the other"
I believe that.
I believe that for humans too!
Often beautiful humans are trapped in a dead persons skin.
They don't know any other options - often.
There is a beautiful human in there - trying to get out.
And that is where the a human like you comes in.
In the process of working at our own stumbling development,
we are aiming to be of some support and usefulness to others.
Forty years ago I was leading a team of forty
Youth Worker on the streets of East London.
Once a month we had a Training evening.
A skilled human from outside came in and I,
the Team Leader,
became a peer in learning alongside my colleagues.
We all need to take in as well as give out.
I am a resource to you and you/your team
if you are involved in 'people work'.
Why don't you enquire
find out if I can be of help -
hire me maybe.
For new humans who do not know me,
I facilitate training courses anywhere on the globe.
Teams, in projects doing great work but, we always,
including myself, need to be refreshed and experience re-creation.
I work with young people on the edge.
Also those who work alongside them.
That's what I do.
Only on invitation -
I have no managerial responsibility to intrude!
I believe that anyone
has the capacity
to crawl out of a
dead mans skin.
As tough and as hardened
as they can are/seem -
there is a way of unlocking
damaged souls so they can
become become become ..............
