This song
this feeling song
this deep and moving song .......

Is not a favourite song
because 'favourite', THE WORD
will not fit

This track means so much to me
It reminds me of a life lost

I am not talking Divine life
I am talking human precious life

I will Blog about that precious life on EASTER DAY ......

after our bad run of four losses.

“Real communication occurs when we listen with understanding -
to see thee idea and attitude from the other person’s point of view,
to sense how it feels to them,
to achieve their frame of reference
in regard to the thing they are talking about.”

Martin Wroe - a great talk for Lent

Listen now (15 minutes)

Last broadcast on Sunday, 14:45 on BBC Radio 4 (see all broadcasts).

Synopsis

Writer and journalist, Martin Wroe, Martin Wroe explores the ethics of virtue where the individual is at its most divine when working in community.

In the wake of political and social reactions to the financial crisis, austerity measures and the riots of 2011, debate continues to determine the role of the individual and society. The 2012 Lent Talks consider the relationship between the individual and the collective. Is each person one alone or one of many? Is it the human condition to be self-contained or to belong to the family, the tribe, the congregation, the nation? We live in groups but our most intense experiences are incommunicable. Jesus shared a communal last supper but he died an outcast, abandoned and rejected by his people, his disciples and (apparently) his Father.

THE POWER OF THE SPOKEN WORD

A short poem – called ‘Knock Knock’ –
is that it shares the heartache of a boy
who loses the father he loves
and mentors himself to manhood
in a way that both honours himself
and his father’s greatness –
inspite of the mistakes his father made.

Spoken word at Greenbelt 2012

Today we’re pleased to announce that prolific campaigner Peter Tatchell, 38 Degrees director Hannah Lownsborough and sociologist and author Tony Campolo are the latest additions to this year’s spoken word lineup.

Even a happy life cannot be without
a measure of darkness,
and the word happy
would lose its meaning
if it were not balanced by sadness.
It is far better to take things
as they come along
with patience and equanimity.'

Carl Jung

• THE STRESS FACTOR •

The most obvious way in which the mind adversely affects the body is through stress. For instance, imagine you are trying to squeeze some toothpaste out of a tube but you have forgotten to take the top off (or to flip the lid).

What happens?

It has to find some other way out.

This usually means that the toothpaste emerges from the bottom of the tube, or perhaps forces a hole in the side - whichever is the weakest point.

youngsters will learn words
they will not understand.

What is hunger?"

The Blob Tree Tools come in handy. They are a gentle non-threatening method to encourage communication.

I have young humans on my mind.

They always linger

following a session of development with them.

I can picture them.

Their comments rerun in my mind.

Their behaviour -

avoidence of anything which triggers minor insecurity.

The amazment that they find themselves digging into their soul -

maybe revealing their true selves.

A little.

Maybe discovering more about themselves

because they are spilling.

It has taken a slow lead in.

The Blob Tools come in handy.

They are a gentle non-threatening method

to encourage communication.

Every drop of communication

adds to a gentle relationship building

with each other

with me.

Just going in doing one session

is not working in fertile ground.

If there is a series of sessions planned -

that can go into the design to work differently.

Knowing there can be more than one session

also gives time for their reflection between weekly sessions.

I love it.

It is tough because sometimes

there is little immediate responses.

I expect the worst

and delight in any glimmer.

Any glimmer of opening up

like a flower to the sun.

Towards becoming

becoming

all that they can become .......

It is a sign of intimate friendship,
when speech flows
freely from the heart.

Rumi

Hope you don't mind the criticism but why on earth have you given your blog a black background? I think it's bloody awful. Not very geriatric friendly...I can hardly read it, and it doesn't reflect your usually bright and often nauseatingly breezy personality. It's depressing! Change it back to something less funereal please!!!

After an extensive 2-year tour
(interrupted by Bono's back surgery),
U2 are in their Dublin studio
recording what will presumably become
their 13th album.
Bassist Adam Clayton spoke on Tuesday to John Murray of RTÉ Radio 1 in Ireland.

"People travel to wonder
at the height of the mountains,
at the huge wave of the seas,
at the long course of the rivers,
at the vast compass of the ocean,
at the circular motion of the stars
and yet
they pass by
themselves
without wondering."

‘Place
depends on relationships
and
memories as much as on
physical features.
It is a complex network
of relationships,
connections and
continuities of
physical,
social and
cultural conditions
that describe
my actions,
my response,
my awareness and
that
gives shape and
content to
the very life that is
me’
