Leaning Towers of Pip Wilson dot com
here::

I am been churning the miles of underground London and Rail network this week and neglected all other things including a logjam.

My inbox has repeat emails from some wanting an answer so ............ today I need to get back to the beautiful humans at the end of those emails ................. and if you are one - forgive if your soul does that sort thing.
If you cannot - just hate me like I guess you do everyone else.
I find that the unforgiving forgive NOBODY
not even themselves.
WOW
I know where to ask for forgiveness and I regularly say 'I have cocked up again - and I am responsible for my own in-actions ..........................' and
and
and
then

I hear a little voice in my soul saying
"Hello beautiful imperfection ...........
........ you are beautiful ......
greatly loved
precious
unique .........................."
and I take a deep breath and walk on.........
( hear the U2 song with the same title.)

Walk on Wilson.
So I am on catchup today and don't have any big gigs gripping my soul in a steel clamp.
Long before Myers Briggs told me about my personality traits - I knew that I drop everything to focus on anything 'humans' - and all other things slip out of the Wilson frame.

I have another start of a course on Monday -so ................... so Sunday will be feeling that steel clamp again.

On Sunday too::
.............. we have a 6 x crew out on the town.
A meal out in London - late lunch ...........
Little Sheila, the one who is filming a TV programme today in London town somewhere - she has a birthday again .......................... seems to be an annual thing.

By a miracle
all the men
all the women
can be there................. wondrous.



I still feel a buzz from yesterday and need to reflect::

"A unreflected life is not worth living"

and ................ I have listen to two talks from Greenbelt this year
same one twice!
I never recommend a movie, album, restaurant, holiday destination ............. but I must say that this down loadable talk by John O Donohue rocks my boat - feeds my soul .......

Imagination as the Path of Spirit

John O'Donohue

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

I_was_soaked_in_sweat
feeling really sticky
I had shed as many clothes as I could, and retain public decency.
I rolled my sleeves up to help
My iPod on
I sipped at the cup
a coffee latte
and bit at my sandwich
I was travelling backwards at 80 mph.

A 'wet-one' comes to my rescue
from my little backpack pocket.
I coo,l a little, and continue my controlled slow breathing.

I have scribbled a SWOT analysis in my wee day book
usually the Weaknesses and Threats fill up easily
This time the Strengths and the Opportunities come up strong
few weaknesses came.

I am on the train
returning from a big conference hall
in England's Midlands
A city called Derby
12 round tables x 13 humans
I felt drained and excited
exhilarated
buzzing ....

For a few weeks I have been working with a group of young humans
and their leaders.
Today was the event when it all came together
these young humans - speaking before a large audience
on the mike
on the podium
they were the VIP's and me the guest speaker
the link
the coach for them
and the place rocked.

After they had spoke
I encouraged and comforted the audience to practice
'motion changes emotion'
to move around the room and join a colour coded group
"....... growth does not reside in a place called comfortable"
the Lancashire accent boomed over the mike
so they moved and each group was facilitated by a young human
electric wonderland.

Then another group followed - everyone moving again - wow - they did it.
And the group workers did it.
Was wondrous to see these young humans 'working' the groups
made up of suited public humans
officials from local Government, seasoned professionals.

(I once did a session in a Church
and asked al those on one side of the Church
to swop over and sit on the other side
THEY HATED ME!!!!!!
it is not easy to step out dem zones)

I took lots of Pipturesque
non verbal communication oozing from these young frames
as they encouraged Level 5 sharing.
it became opening time
grown ups talking about their tough times as young humans
and how vulnerable they felt.

I was told afterwards
that ..............
a person told me ........ that - after someone had shared
about their feeling of aloneness outside school
but not in school
the group went silent
he though 'how will the young group worker handle this - should I step in'
and a young voice said
'so tell us how you felt IN school?'
a powerful initiative to bring out a positive.
stinking wow!

I have tried
but cannot word it
I have tried to word-it
because the objective was
to be experiential
and it was
experiential
for 150 humans
stinking wow........

...... and the remnants of the London based Level-5ers met on Saturday Night in the tiny little favourite restaurant called
Da Marios.

It was beautiful
and the food
the words
expressions
agenda
feelings
passion
sipping at the relationship well
and everyone looked damn good
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
27 years and still in the groove
never a rut ...............

A Franciscan Benediction

May God bless you with discomfort
At easy answers, half truths and superficial relationships,
So that you may live deep within your heart

May God bless you with anger
At injustice, oppression and exploitation of people,
So that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.

May God bless you with tears
To shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger and war,
So that you may reach out your hand to comfort and
To turn their pain into joy.

And may God bless you with enough foolishness
To believe that you can make a difference in the world,
So you can do what others claim cannot be done
To bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor

...... I have found this on the web ......

"I was raised as a Catholic.
I went to a Convent school until I was 12 and went to Mass until I was 16.

The first festival (as in music festival) I ever attended at 15 was called Greenbelt, and it was a Christian music festival. I was only allowed to attend because it was a Christian festival, but to adolescents - trust me - it was a way to get a camping holiday, listen to music and comedy and stay up as late as you liked with your friends without your parents worrying!

There was a meeting every day called The Rolling Magazine - it was a madhouse.
Games called Sieve 'Ed (running round the tent with various substances held in a sieve above your head)
Egg Chuck (yup, fresh eggs - catch & you stand a pace apart) etc etc etc.
Volunteers for these games nearly had a fit trying to catch Pip's attention.
At 15, when we all wanted to be adults & drink & have sex.
Amazing.

And we got to meet other people our age who believed in God.
It was the love that dared not speak its name.

Now we weren't taught hatred.
Or aggression.
Pip told us all - you are a beautiful human person.
You need to hear that at 15.
And when we graduated to The Very Stinking Late Show at 17 we needed to hear it just as much."

.

Busy few days but loveitloveit.

I have posted a few items about the New Piccadilly Restaurant below.
Please forgive me about my ranting.
The place is so close to my heart.
All because of the many humans I have met and communed with there.
The food has never been the attraction because - a Caff it is.
It has soul.
And it won't exist in in one weeks time.

Every time I have a visitor from abroad and other parts of the UK - this first place I take them is - The New Piccadilly.
Now - no longer.

I have also had many meetings there. Greenbelt. U2. YMCA. Conference planning. Event planning. Blobs. Publishers. Magazine editors. There will be many more. I will publish some more pictures this week but I am not certain if I can pace myself to visit again in the next 6 days. But I want to ..........

On Friday I met with Willie. We have spent many hours in there together. Level Five stuff of course. Twenty years with L5 never failing to churn, move, change and delight. hmmmmmm

Met with Ian, my 'Blob Tree dot com partner'. We have met there so many times and creativity and explosions of ideas have flowed - as they did on Saturday. We will be meeting again in a new place - but where do you go in central London - where you can hang out for hours and hours. The Nu Pic is just around the corner from Piccadilly Circus.

And I have met with you (maybe not you) but certainly you
and you
and you
and I would love to meet you there this week
......... the main purpose is ....... because I want to meet with you and sip from your cup of beauty ........... I love being and becoming with you ..........
........ but this week? - maybe not ....... but there is a future eh?

Humans, all humans, I believe (and know from practice) come alive with Level Five. It is really beautiful to sit and sip with a human who is being themselves ...... and becoming themselves ....................... hmmmmmm here I am again - dreaming of heaven .. .. .. .........



ps. clicking a Pipturesque picture always enlarges to big and more beautiful.
