Young people are currently being groomed in "every town" in Britain
Young people are currently being groomed in "every town" in Britain, according to a charity.
Parents Against Child Sexual Exploitation (Pace) says "thousands" of children are affected and police forces lack skills to deal with such abuse.
A report into child sexual exploitation in Rotherham found at least 1,400 children were abused over two decades.
The National Child Protection Working Group says police are dealing with an "unprecedented" number of abuse cases.
Child sexual exploitation can take place when a young person is manipulated by an adult into sex following a process of "grooming", involving being given gifts and being distanced from their parents.
Children may then be sexually assaulted by networks of adults over a number of years and can be shamed or intimidated out of reporting the crime.

2015 - YES I will ...............
I am going to get my life together in 2015.
Again
I slipped up in 2014.
and forever
imperfection
incompleteness
unfinished work
me ...................
It was all new to me.
I fumbled.
I stumbled.
I wept.
I was inflicted with change.
I was thrown hard balls.
I am alive -
still.
2014 was full of change.
2014 wasn't really tough,
I am just being dramatic.
But it was full of change
and
I feel good about the year.
but...............
A year ago today
I never thought
I would be here
this place
emotionally
spiritually
doing things
I love to do
becoming ..............
I never thought I would be
this age
it just came
with experience.
I never thought I would be
a totally freelance facilitator/educator.
I never thought I would be
a Grandad and loving it.
And there has been
many more changes.
Largely through challenges.
My internal Pip
has
changed,
developed,
become more fragile,
become more sensitive,
become more yearning,
become more seeking,
become more reflective,
become more ............
I wonder what your thoughts are
on this?
I guess you constantly suss me out.
Strive to understand me
me too.
AND I switch to you
do you suss yourself out?
Do you strive to understand
you?
In 2015 I will carry on gigging.
Some in the diary already
a few months ahead
I do =
Hire me
Tell others I am for hire
I need to do this
my life mission
and I need to pay my mortgage
for the next ten years.
I will carry on writing
I will carry on becoming emotionally literate
I will carry on becoming more spiritually literate
I will carry on meeting humans
I will carry on supporting the wounded
I will carry on learning, reading, interacting,
One day some of these will fade away.
I need to come to terms with this.
That, and other decisions,
will be my focus one day
when I get old.
I will read daily.
I will pray with every breath.
I will eat healthier.
I will love.
I will love the unlovely.
I will love myself
I will learn.
I will journey
I will remind you 'you are beautiful'
I will become well travelled
internally
in relationships
in values
in love.
I WILL.
Welcome into my life,
dear 2015.
I will receive your hard balls,
welcome your
challenges
changes
unthinkables
unwantables
undesirables.
I WILL
I WILL
Dance like no-one is watching
Sing like no-one is listening
and
Love like you have never been hurt.
Sing like no-one is listening
and
Love like you have never been hurt.

May your 2015 trails be crooked
May your trails be
crooked,
winding,
lonesome,
dangerous,
... leading to the most amazing view.
May your mountains
rise into
and
above the clouds.
Earth Apples: The Poetry of Edward Abbey (1994)

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

......Becoming.........
"The thing that is really hard,
and really amazing,
is giving up on being perfect
and beginning the work

#YouAreBeautiful
Blessed are the lost and confused, for admitting what the rest of us deny
Blessed are the paranoid for they will realise they were right all along
Blessed are the addicts, for they will be able to release themselves
Blessed are the welcoming and friendly, for they will be welcomed by many friends
Blessed are those who are cursed by bad luck, for their number will finally come up
Blessed are they who find they cannot believe, for they will find honesty is a fruit of the Spirit
Blessed are those willing to go the second mile, for they will get a lift
Blessed are those who see Love in the eyes of the forgotten, for they will find Love gazing back at them
Blessed are those who use foreign names for God, for one day we will all speak in tongues.
Blessed are those who have lost their life, for they will find Life comes looking for them
Blessed are those with a roof over their heads,
food on the table, work that rewards and friends to rely on,
for there isn’t much more anyone can ask for
Blessed are those who find the poetry in religion,
for they will find a divine rhyme in the ordinary and everyday
Blessed are all of us who are found wanting, for we will all be found wanted.

A Question for you?
Question for you::
Think of the best conversation you have had all year.
Why can't you do that with others,
especially those not easy to relate to?
*
Some People spend their Christmas with their Family.
LIFE.....
Some People spend their Christmas with their Family.
Some People spend their Christmas in hawaii or Spain.
And some People spend their Christmas in
the street, trying to keep warm, trying
to get some Food.
Trying to survive the Cold night.
Praying for their life.
Praying for a miracle.
Praying for a better future.
Praying for their life to end.
Before it get`t worse, while its still
good thougths in their mind.
So they don`t breake down,
like a glass falling down on the ground.

My best friends birthday.
Hope you are feeling good.
Not too race around tense.
Hope you feel uncomfortable?
About some things
within without
self family and world
I live with the conflict between
the tsunami of glitter
and wanting to celebrate
my best friends birthday.
Hope you are doing some loving
some loving of yourself ?
You are beautiful.

In the Face of Christmas
In the Face of Christmas
Let us ask God for a good Christmas:
that no powerful nation
should tax the poor
or uproot them;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
that no unmarried mother
should be put away in disgrace;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
that no door will be shut
on those that need to find it open;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
that shepherds and sheep and all of nature
need not be afraid;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
that walls, barbed wire and angry soldiers
may not be found in Bethlehem;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
that we will stop building walls
to keep people in and people out
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
that wise men and wise women
might appear in Wales, in Scotland, in Ireland, in England,
in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Syria and in our street;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
that children can be safe in schools around the world
that guns and weapons of war may not be seen as toys
------------------------------------------------------------------------
that children may be preserved
from those who would abuse them;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
that this Christmas,
you may become a manger
and your home a stable
and the rumour become a reality
that The Divine has come among us.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
And this we pray in Jesus’ name
AMEN

#Pope #Dictator or what?
I respect what the Pope is doing in the Vatican,
change so needed -
but he can only do what he is doing/saying because
he is a Dictator.
Nobody can suggest another way to him.
The ABC = Archbishop of Canterbury
he couldn't get away with that
and rightly so
He has to/needs to work with people
frustrating for many yearning for change
BUT - who wants a Dictator.
The best of them can't always be right!!
In the real world a Leader/CEO has to work with people for change.
As we work with other for change
we also help in everyones development.
Go alone we go fast.
Go together - we go LONG.

#Christmas programme
We are going to Sheilas Christmas Day - and
ours on Boxing Day
with both the Sheilas & their men + Conniepops.
It will be great.
I used to send out a mini eNews, back in the day,
to about 3000+ humans who registered on my eNews list,
also to about 1500 others who are in my address book
but now
I just click here and encourage people to get a daily email automatically - see above.
I don't know who does this
or how many -
but thank you if you do ....
I write for my soul
to get stuff out
but also for you
offering my reflections into your life
and I would love to/welcome yours ..........
Before & Come January
I will continue the Road Less Travelled adventures
and wonder what adventures they will be.
We can plan certain things
but many happening come at us unplanned eh?
I am aware of certain humans in my life
who are facing Christmas without many positives.
I feel deeply for them/you -
if you have some tough days ahead.
You are beautiful
and
Christmas is here to prove it
that you are beautiful.
not the human made one
the first one
the real one.
Because I work with humans who say::
"I hate Christmas"
I feel things about Christmas
which are beyond self and family.
To manage my step back from frontline work -
and take a break
(for years Joan and me have worked to give many living in hostels the best possible Christmas)
...... to manage this
I have the a saying which I have clicked here before::
"I am responsible to people - not for people"
...... so I have clicked a few words from my stumbling fumbling soul.
Soul undressing ......
Seeing behind
the behaviour,
the mask,
the army uniform
the Police uniform
the colour of skin
----------------------------------------
I see a beautiful human
who Christmas was aimed at
as with you
as with me
and especially …………………… (fill in yourself bit)
“ We are sick as we are secret”
John Berryman. Poet
As the violence and the loudness,
the oppression,
the killing at home or abroad –
happens
I have decided to make my life an act of love.
Let us join the vulnerable babe this Christmas.
Maskless vulnerability.
So love can get in.
So love can get out.
*
Stay with me over the coming days ...
Listen to the beautiful music here .....
Read a few words as I reflect the journey
to and through the new year .......
Love came at Christmas
Into straw poverty ..........
.
#Separation Wall
God
within
and
without
God
underground and overground
everywhere and nowhere
always and never
sometimes and all times
God
inside
and
outside
God
here
with
us
now
