What is engraved on your soul?

Use your finger here. To touch is vital.

...... yes you can finger one of the Blobs which best describes how you feel. 

Sometimes choosing two is more like reality. ........

......... if you don’t have feelings about this -

 stick a pin your palm to check if you are still alive !!

A childhood memory triggered by this HOT UK weather.

This hot weather in the uk

has got me thinking about one thing.

My thoughts remember the FRIDGE !

One day a long time ago

when I was a child

there was someone up our street,

(by word of mouth)

.... a big rumour,

that someone had got a fridge in our street.

Back in the day NOBODY had a fridge!

I was about 8 or 10.

I had a girlfriend up the street.

Her name was Sheila.

She was the one with the  fridge.

AND

one day she said I could go and have look at it

WOW

I opened the door

it was cold inside

and then I was asked by Mr Sheila 

not to open the door because

it costs one pound every time the door was opened.

Because the cold escaped.

Within days I discovered something really exciting

(other than Sheila)

THAT

this fridge could make ice lollypops !!

With flavours!

I was a frequent visitor to Mr & Mrs Sheila.

I loved a lollypop every day

(still do)

but I must open the fridge door without permission. 

I still think about this rule - here in 2020 !!

Not so exciting, a few years later

we bought a fridge.

AND we made lollypops with different flavours ..........

The reality ..... distant bedtime story time

"When I'm weak, I draw strength from you." in Bulgaria

Zero 7

"When I'm weak, I draw strength from you."

Yesterday my favourite DJ 

on my favourite Radio Station ‘worldwideFM'

played my favourite Zero7 track.

I said I would blog an experience linked to the track.

BUT then I searched my www.pipwilson.com and 

found the original reflection ………….

I add a few words to explain things better::

*

I'm writing this in Sofia Airport, Bulgaria, 

first time alone 

(but not lonely) 

with the first coffee of the day plus my 

constant travelling companion - 

my favourite DJ Gilles Peterson 

playing my favourite jazz/dance/stretch music 

into my ears and through to my soul.

I am tired. 

I am exhilarated. 

I am fulfilled.

I have been left alone by a giant. 

A giant! 

A big man. 

A physically large man. 

A great man. 

Carlos Madjri Sanvee 

from Togo, Africa

He was then working out of the YMCA World Office in Geneva  

with a portfolio including 

Youth Worker, Finance Officer, Africa, Latin America and 

thrown in - Europe & Russia!! 

(NOW he is the YMCA World General Secretary = CEO.)

And here I am in exhilaration:: 

It is - being with Carlos, together with other International Trainers.

We have been in Gabrovo, Bulgaria, 

with 70/80 people at the first ever 

YMCA Balkan Training Conference. 

With young people in majority, 

this community have just tasted life together. 

Life sparkling with the cultures from ::

Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, Macedonia, Greece.

Exhilarated I am. 

As with YMCA events - it was indeed full with 

body, mind and spirit activities. 

Training was in YMCA things including 

essential skills, awareness, personal development and 

spiritual stretch exercises. 

I'm shattered - not from the absence of sleep, 

which is reality, 

but the emotional and personal stretch I have experienced 

and loved as I learned as I have led.

Norwegian Oyvin Sonnesyn 

................ and myself were charged with leading a 

7 1/2 hour training experience for 19 young adults 

on the subject of 'Team Work’! 

Oyvin was then an International man, and Deputy National Secretary from Norway, and the YMCA European Alliance (EAY) Musical Director/Trainer. 

He gives 15% of his time to the EAY, 

a fantastic model of co-operation. 

Very different guy than me, 

he is a guitarist and sings - 

amongst his many talents. 

We worked experientially. 

We tapped the youthfulness, energy, experience and 

depth of emotion of people present.

Then the bus crashed!!

(a role play)

I divided the whole group into two groups.

One was lined up in an imaginary bus queue.

This bus queue of a mix of individual people

from different nations = strangers.

(The group dynamics theory is that a ‘group' 

does not exist as a group until they have a purpose in common.)

The other half of the participants bunched themselves together,

shuffling around the room as if they were all seated on a bus.

As they approached the bus queue they were in an accident! =

throwing themselves on the floor with ‘multiple injuries’.

All in the queue going about their daily lives when, 

suddenly, they were confronted by this serious accident 

with this bus load of ’strangers'. 

From 'standing in line', these individuals, 

immediately leapt into action to help.

Immediately becoming a team to handle this challenge before them.

All playing different roles. 

Helping the injured, stopping the traffic - 

phoning the emergency services.

Yes, it was a role play.

My eyes leak as I recall. 

It was an incredible human response.

These multi-national young lives did beautiful things 

including the reflection following the 'accident'.

We touched on the New York 911 terror attack and 

personal experience of ‘accidents' and deep emotions.

One young woman, Emilia, from Romania, 

who works with sexually abused young girls, 

made some fantastic observations of herself.

She was shocked to realise she had first gone to help 

the 'Romanians' in this bus crash.

'Xenophobia' was her term!

We had a great time reflecting on the role play.

Our emotions.

Individual behaviour.

How the ‘queue’ became a team with common objective.

Electric Learning!!

This was one of the many exercises / games played. 

Spiritual stuff. 

Skills. 

Personal Awareness. 

Feelings. 

Communication. 

And we had tears as we grew in our unique community. 

A community of acceptance and value of each other.

As I was driven to the airport from the final session I wrote these words.

* Massive

* Flood

* Overwhelm

* Tears

* Walk of love

* Big

* Impossible to think.

I will work it all through from emotions to strategic thought but now - 

I think of the theme song as the plane arrives for me.

We had this song playing during certain moments  - 

one line repeatedly standing out::

" When I'm weak I draw strength from you"

'Zero 7' sing this line - the theme song from our time together:-

" When I'm weak 

I draw strength from you"

The song in question is playing in my ears right now ........... …

If you go to yesterdays BLOG on my website:: 

(24th May 2020)

you can hear and view the video - so powerful.

I am living it all again as I communicate with you.

I love this VIDEO - many many great memories flooding .....

An inside view of the centre of my operations.

where I churn & learn. 

This Mac corrects all my spelling mistakes 
so can hide how thick I really am.

A QUOTE from my book - it is where I have journey to .........

..... assume that people are doing their best ...

... seeing beyond behaviour ....

there is a hurting human ....

The experience of being told “You are ugly”

In a Bar. Which one is you?

The Queen Mother and I - hanging out together.

I was driving and writing at the same time ................

Growth & development.

I was driving back from a gig.

It was with a staff team of

a multi-million pound company based in 

the City of London.

I was buzzing as normal.

The impact of being with a 

keen enthusiastic bunch of humans

always gets me going.

The adrenaline was flowing as I 

travelled down a few UK motorways.

I wanted to write

inside - out = 

capture my internal buzzing

onto paper so I didn't forget.

I grabbed a pad as I was driving

(keeping my eyes always on the road)

I stuffed my pad between my legs

and without looking down

I started to write.

It was about my experiences.

= The most toughest time in my life

have been my most intensive & deep learning.

My words scribbled out saying::

Growth

does not reside

in a place called

comfortable

Human Development

does not reside

in a place called

certainty

Wholeness

does not reside

in a place called

self

Freedom 

does not reside

in a place called

Security 

A present this to you to

(I hope)

you can transpose into

your own life

Have a go??????????
