I just love the humans I work with.
I love my friends and family.
but ...... I love the people I work with.
They are so good to me.
They offer me so much
so much
from their
richness
and
their
poorness
I have this deep feeling which I can only say is love.
I cannot tell them that I love them
like it really is
I do tell them.
Have told them.
but
words
inarticulate
words cannot express the yearnings of the heart.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

............... just had a Caesar salad with pizza express and James Xhevahir Gjini ............... who I have known for some years - six I think - since he fled the horrors of Kosova. A great man and it was fantastic to meet for the first time since I left the YMCA called romford on the east side of London the town some sixteen months ago. So glad I moved on. I said then, leaving without a job to go to that
"I will not sacrifice freedom for security".
Was good to catch his soul and share experiences from the past months ........ I find it difficult to summarise my life as it is so easy to talk what I do rather than the 'being' and 'becoming' part of me. That is the whole - the do and doing bits are just a part - eh?
A great man and we will meet again ...........

Celebrities including Bono, Jude Law and Minnie Driver have signed an open letter to UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, thanking him for boosting overseas aid.
The letter, also addressed to Chancellor Gordon Brown, was published in the Independent newspaper.
It praises the government for increasing funding to tackle world poverty and its commitment to reach a UN-set aid giving target by 2013.
But the letter urged the government to go further and cancel Third World debt.
"In 2005 as chair of the G8, the Commission for Africa, and the EU you will have a unique opportunity," the letter states.
"We're counting on you to lead rich countries to cancel Third World debts, deliver more and better aid that meets the UN target, and end unfair rules."
.... and i like it very much ........

Greenbelt Bloggers Gathering
A gathering for bloggers at Greenbelt is happening on Saturday at 4pm in the Winged Ox bar. If you'll be at the festival and you write a blog please come along! If you write a blog please:
Blog about it so other Greenbelt-going bloggers hear about it too.
I have not looked to see if clashes with anything I am committed to yet - but if it clashes with the Mike Yaconelli memorial event - I will not be there on the blogside.
Otherwise - will be there by your blogside.

.... I am sat in front of the tv watching a taped programme of Big Brother from earlier.
We were out at a BBQ for the evening.
I am wearing a red 'primal scream' tee shirt in - bright red. Below are a pair of baggy white soft material - knee long shorts with Greenbelt in big letters down the side. It is the sort of attire that is NOT to be seen in public. One my feet are some sports mini-sox which I tend to move around in.
Not much interested in Cointreau and cigars tonight. I have been watchful that Gilles Peterson is recording now. Also the programme that follows 'One World'. Both from the 'big chill festival' from this w/e.
I have been reading a bit in the sun today. A book about Christian communities or/and 'church'. I read this stuff and it does me good. Usually I read on the train/tube.
This book is called 'the shaping of stinking things to come' - you will note I have added a pipology phrase to confuse google. A the same time I am reading one called 'the rite stinking stuff'. This one is about different kinds of worship.
Books sometimes get up my nose in the first few chapters but then as I persist, I get something which makes me buzz and go off on a tangent.
Bugging me 1
The statement that " ... the gospel of Jesus Christ be heard and understood ...."
Scream. The Gospel is not just for the ears it seems to me. It is a gospel to be lived, demonstrated, exhibited not stinking words and ears (only). 80% of communication is non verbal and that is all things gospel too. That is why we had Jesus coming and being one with us - the incarnation. grrrr
Bugging me 2
It says that ugly thing about 'personal conversion' and not about the collective and the communal conversion! I believe in a collective impact. The word 'salvation' was first used when the Children of Israel fled from Egypt and found the promised land AS A COMMUNITY/tribe/nation. If we personalise the faith so it only stays and says about the 'personal' - we are blinkered - I believe.
I believe that my personal conversion was the best thing that ever happened to me BUT I had to go on to embrace a gospel which is about -others -the world -politics -wholistic stuff.
grrr
Didn't mean to tell you all that - just wanted to tell you about my red tee!
Big Brother is now on silent.
Gilles Peterson on the stereo.
Tomorrow I have work to do and I will also be meeting someone for lunch and saying to him;
"you yanni person ebukou"

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
What you don't have, you don't need it now
What you don't know, you can feel it somehow
What you don't have, you don't need it now
Don't need it now
It was a beautiful day
It's warm in the sun, I reach to the sun
