Pip Wilson BIOG and Greenbelt Festival input.
YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN PERSON::
Thought I would do a BLOG
for those who fancy a little read and
of course,
if you are reading this
you are the stylie type of human
who will read my thoughts and journey.
So here goes.
The idea is for us, as many who can make it, to come to Greenbelt and hang out together in my workshop this Saturday.
I think we benefit much when we talk together,
especially when we listen as well as talk.
It is right that God gave us two ears and one mouth and that tells us something about communication.
So we will have an hour with each other
just connecting and learning from each other.
I have feelings, passions.
I don't have views about everything
so your view can influence mine.
I am a broken offering to life.
My life I carry around experiences
in which I have been damaged.
At the same time they, the same hurts,
are the things which have made me
grow and develop.
It is only when we talk together
that we find out about
what is going on inside.
Another person.
Also ourselves.
We have allsorts of thoughts
slushing around in our heads
like a cement mixer.
When we pour out the concrete
it sets and becomes more real.
So, when we talk things,
we make things more concrete and we learn.
Life is 'life long learning'.
I was born in St Helens Lancashire,
the home of glass and Rugby League.
At school and in the park
we never played football,
even as little kids,
we played rugby.
My Dad was a miner in the coal mines.
He didn't go to war because of that
and he also was an 'air raid warden'
which meant helping people when the bombs dropped.
I was born as the second world war broke out.
See if you can work out the year?
I was the youngest of four boys
and was a mistake.
I fought my way through childhood
and that was just with my brothers!
Also my education was poor.
Terrible.
I had no interest in school -
only messing about.
But at 15 some thing happened
(I will tell you if you ask).
I then started work in a factory at 15
and trained to be a fitter/engineer
building winches for ships
followed by another factory
building engines for trains -
and playing rugby all the time.
Then at 21 some thing happened
to change my whole purpose and direction?............
So that is a wee bit of me.
What I wanna do is to find out about your journey,
and
I'll bet you could write a book about it!
I did, it is called 'Gutter Feelings'.
That's a bit about me.
My session will be NOT A TALK
it will have little inputs
little facilitations by me
little assists by me
to enable us to interact with each other.
