iMac snagging at the Genious Bar. Great humans

Bluewater Genius Bar at the Apple Store and a big tech challenge.
I had lost 36k photos back in October 11.
At last time to get that dealt with.

Damn my back up Time Machine is corrupted so no rescue today. This has only happened in the last week.
I have to send it to a specialist to try to save data.
Then return to apple with my iMac and hope then to save all my historic Pipturesques.

Nee. To find time to do this.

#YouAreBeautiful

Noise by Martin Wroe


They say you're available
on certain conditions.
Quiet ones.
That if I can find an air of tranquility
it carries that still small voice.

But I don't do quiet,
stillness.
I am not tranquil except when I am asleep
and then I am not available
as far as I know.

So,
what's the chance of a still big voice
in the noise,
of hearing you in the roaring traffic,
the screaming meal-time,
the crowded train,
the supermarket queue,
the smoky, throbbing bar?

I know that time you weren't
in the fire,
the storm.
But everyone's different.
Maybe Elijah was better at quiet.

You're usually quiet.
I'm usually wired.
If I try for your silence,
perhaps you could try for my noise.

Your place or mine?
I know they say you're in
the country,
but maybe we could
Meet in town?

FEELING NOT OK ?


ABOUT these feelings
we ALL have
bad feeling

THEY don't mean
we are bad

they are signals
FEELINGS ARE NOT
RIGHT OR WRONG
It's behaviour
Which can be
Right or wrong

Spill those feelings
Before they build up and
Erupt

#YouAreBeautiful






.
I wonder
What you are like
Who you are
When out of the public eye?
On your own?
Interior life?


.
Whatever -
#YouAreBeautiful



Here's to the babies in a brand new world
Here's to the beauty of the stars
Here's to the travellers on the open road
Here's to the dreamers in the bars

Here's to the teachers in the crowded rooms
Here's to the workers in the fields
Here's to the preachers of the sacred words
Here's to the drivers at the wheel

ROBERT GLASPER album just delivered to Wilson Mansions hey hey

Here's to the winners of the human race
Here's to the losers in the game
Here's to the soldiers of the bitter war
Here's to the wall that bears their names

Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin
Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Let the day begin, let the day begin, let the day start

Here's to the doctors and their healing work
Here's to the loved ones in their care
Here's to the strangers on the streets tonight
Here's to the lonely everywhere

Here's to the wisdom from the mouths of babes
Here's to the lions in the cage
Here's to the struggles of the silent war
Here's to the closing of the age.

Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Now let the day begin
Here's to you my little loves with blessings from above
Let the day begin

In the morning I will go alone into .....

After my meeting a.m.
I will drive to a quiet spot
Dr Dre headphones on
Plug in some great music
Sit in the passenger seat
Flip open my Laptop
And
Rea/edit
GUTTER FEELINGS
my first ever published book.

It will be strange
Revisiting that world I lived in
LOVED IN
and cringing at my
DEPRIVATION

READING
About a person so
Incomplete
Yet
Like now
A person who had decided
To make my life
An act of love

I will be dragged back
Into tough times
Committed times
Team times
Learning so much
Times

I will be reminded
Of my lack of
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Bull headedness
Bad examples of
YOUTH WORK
amongst waves of good
Practice
And stumbling faith

I don't want to be that sort
Of human again
Not that sort of faith
Not that sort of insensitivity

Yet I will be reminded
Of some great Youth Work
With a team of 40
Beautiful unique humans
Who I loved
Who I Love

And those beautiful human
Gangs
Aggressive
Violent too
And
Hundreds of loving growing
Adolescents
(Who still communicate with me)
Full of life
Full of searching
Who I loved
Who I Love

I will let you know
How I cope

You are so beautiful
Bhp

“In everyone’s life,
at sometime,
our inner fire goes out.
It is then burst into flame
by an encounter
with
another human being.
We should all be thankful
for those people
who rekindle
our inner spirit.”

(Albert Schweitzer)

The Journey is individual choice including not taking any steps at all. What about when things get tough?

The seas between islands
are risking
tough times
rough weather.
Change is turbulent.
GROWTH does not reside
in a place called
COMFORTABLE

Speech Debelle, Bruce Cockburn, Bellowhead and OperaUpClose
23 February 2012 | by Phil | Filed under Festival | 2 Comments


Greenbelt is delighted to be able to announce that Mercury Music Prize winner Speech Debelle; audience favourite Bruce Cockburn; live folk sensation Bellowhead and the fantastic, sell-out OperaUpClose are among the first clutch of acts to be confirmed for Greenbelt 2012: Saving Paradise, taking place from 24th-27th August at Cheltenham Racecourse. Get your tickets now »



MUSIC

Critically acclaimed South London artist, Speech Debelle will bring her soulful and raw blend of poetic and powerful rhymes to the Greenbelt mainstage, combining tracks from her Mercury Music Prize-winning album with the recently released new album 'Freedom of Speech'. With her devotion to politics and social issues and musically inspired by the likes of Michael Jackson, Tracy Chapman and Meshell Ndegeocello, this South London wonder is the perfect act to join the Greenbelt party this summer.

Canadian-born Bruce Cockburn brings his ever-evolving folk brilliance to Greenbelt’s Friday mainstage. Having been compared to the likes of Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, Cockburn is known for his virtuoso guitar playing and powerful political lyrics including hits “If I Had A Rocket Launcher” plus “Wondering Where The Lions Are”. Joining Cockburn, fellow folk sensation Seth Lakeman will bring his bow-shredding violin riffs and driving tenor guitar rhythms, creating a magical atmospheric vibe filled with charismatic and passionate energy. Bellowhead will perform for the first time at Greenbelt with their “full throttle…rare and exhilarating”(Q Magazine) live showcase, rousing crowds to their feet in what is set to be a sensational performance. Described by the Daily Mirror as “one of the country’s greatest live outfits”, the 11-piece collective are previous winners of the Best Live Performance award at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and have recently returned from their sell-out UK tour. Audiences should prepare to dance like they’ve never danced before!

Further additions to the line-up include BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards winners The Imagined Village plus “hot property” (The Guardian) folk revival band Megson with their infectious sounds and heavenly vocals, lush harmonies and driving rhythmic guitars. Thomas Truax will stun festival goers by using his bespoke inventions of strange self-made instruments in a surprising spectacle. Last but by no means least for the festivals music stage, Brooklyn-based, multi-instrumentalist and former member of American indie rock band The Hold Steady, Franz Nicolay, who is famed for combining the accordion and piano in unique way, will be making his debut at Greenbelt in 2012.
