Remain or Leave Leave or Remain The big EU Question and my Pipology. .......... my REFLECTIONS from the early days of BREXIT
Remain or Leave
Leave or Remain
The big EU Question and my Pipology.
I have been thinking about this major issue for a long time.
I have been meaning to write out my
feelings, thoughts, philosophy for some time.
I must join up the dots in my life/experience/values/faith/BHPness and
I will try to make some sense.
This BHP stuff.
''You are Beautiful" Stuff.
It has all come out of working with people who are often despised by the majority.
They distance themselves from them.
Don’t understand them.
Don’t care about them.
Through all sorts of pain I have a developing
pipology loveology emotionology
and the base principle is that
all humans are of equal value.
Not only tolerate our neighbour but love our neighbours.
And love is a doing word.
I have decided to love not hate
because love does a better job.
Some years ago I created a Mission Statement
and it stays unchanged, with annual reviews,
because it still rings true,
it still applies to my life as tough as it can be.
One line in this MS is::
'I have decided to live my life as an act of Love.’
Central to my faith and belief is
SEEKING THE SHALOM.
This comes from a bible verse which ended my first book/autobiography
'Gutter Feelings'.
‘Seek the Shalom of the city because
in its Shalom
you will find your own Shalom.’
It’s about seeking wholeness for others
and doing that, living that, we develop our own wholeness.
I am forever working at that within myself
and in all my work/life.
When I meet a Bulgarian I say
’T c pracrasin chovek’
With a Albanian
‘You yani person ebooku’
Polish
'Yesh tesh sponyowee’
….. and MORE - all meaning ::
‘You are a beautiful Human Person’
I have not travelled as much as many
but I have in Eastern Europe and I love these BHP’s.
They are as valuable as you, me, others ……..
No matter their complex needs ………
…. "we can see a persons behaviour
but we can’t see their journey”
I believe in WE/ME
I don’t believe in Just ME.
"If you want to go fast - go alone
If you want to go far -
go together”
I am a human who believes in BELONGING.
I belong to a 'Level Five Group' - we are 38 years old.
I believe in participation.
In my Youth Work I have always had the following as OBJECTIVES
because this is how Young people Develop - if these are present ::
Love
Security
New Experiences
Participation.
When we participate with others in many contexts
we all develop
we all learn.
My Youth Work life has been about::
Making contact
Establishing relationships
Building relationships
BECOMING together ……..
…..is relevant to good Youth Work/Community Work
and also on the International stage too.
I believe in Team Work.
We all learn in a TEAM.
In teamwork decisions don’t always go our way.
The team decides and we all feel the benefit or loss - mistakes or success.
We learn and we go forward stronger with differences
but working for the common good.
I am ::
St Helens
Lancashire
English
British
European
World
Eternity
and
I love the world.
I don’t want to be a nationalist
thinking only about SELF.
“He has got the whole world in his hands ………”
I have not mentioned directly some of the big issues such as::
Economy
Migration
Refugees
Health/Housing/Security etc
BUT I have in Pipology terms.
I don’t want to isolate.
I want to love the poorest, the broken, the stranger …..
Everyone so wonderfully made
YET Beautiful/Imperfection like me …...
and like me - Broken & Becoming.
I wish and work for the whole world to become one.
I want to BELONG and work for the WHOLE.
You are beautiful
*
I love to get unique humans touching Unique Finger TIPS
Touching finger tips - whenever we can - unique touching a unique finger tip.
I am into
Touching TIPS
I love to get
unique humans
touching
Unique Finger TIPS
It is a beautiful
feely
experience
and
I train using
Experiential Methods.
We learn best
not through
ears
mouths
BUT
Experientially
AND then ..........
I saw in newspaper
below
and cut it out.
I felt for these beautiful humans
separated
reaching out
touching tips
that was
all there is for them.
*
Let us reach out
to humans
and touch
when we have the chance
the opportunity
with empathy
awareness
sensitivity ........
UNIQUE
finger tips
touching
another.
I love it
AND
now weep for the humans below.
Offer a tear
Pray if you pray
HOPE if you hope
Never build walls
until we know
what we are walling in
and what we are walling out.
