.... ... it is one of those times when I do not know what to click on these keys - no rehearsal here folks.
On days like these it is good for me to look to basics and to look at;-
1 FEELINGS
2 MAYBE A SWOT
3 MY ACTIVITIES
I will now pick one of these ...... I will go for the toughest.
FEELINGS at the moment ......... I feel a bit muzzy headed, deep, reflective, drained, blessed, affirmed, respected, uncertain about the future, thirsty .......... water is satisfying some of that but there are other yearnings which need a quenching.
Scott Peck says that we feel insecure when we leave an island of security to sail to another. That we need that insecurity as it is a growth area. Staying put - is always secure but, let's face it, boring as hell.
New journeys, new steps, new yearnings are all about being on a road less travelled.
That is where I want to be but it also delivers the feelings I list above.
My mission is my work.
My work is my mission.
When a new 'work' starts it stretches.
When an existing work ends it is a deprivation.
But I see an island out there to sail to.
Maybe I cannot see it for the morning mist ........ but it IS there ......
That is where I am at the moment ....... losing some ...... hitting the new ....
The people I am leaving know me and I receive affirmation. That is so wondrous - especially when it comes from humans who have so little emotion and emotional resource to bring to life.
AND THEY GIVE SOME TO ME ........... can you feel that blessing.
It is like the 'widows mite' .............
I hope that gives you a glimpse of my soul and trust it reaches out to touch yours ........... let's keep reaching out ..... stretching out ........ to touch finger tips as we journey our separate roads and .......... just maybe
just maybe .......... we will meet at a cross roads and connect so beautifully that it is a blessing beyond words ....... hmmm ...... I feel renewed already .............. ............ .........

....... can you consider voting ....... Mandela spent 27 years in Prison for the right ........ women died for their right to vote ................. please please ....... consider and make time to vote with some thoughtful consideration ...
please consider ......
.
...... interesting thought ........ one of my questions in a 'book of questions' I am writing - well I got about 560 of them ...... is
"In what way are you poor?
In what way are you rich?"
The Guardian had an item on being spiritually rich today
http://media.guardian.co.uk/site/story/0,14173,1451697,00.html
...... are you?
Me you ask!
Feel a bit numb at the moment ..... the helter skelter matt is a bit thin and I have been feeling the heat .....
Does the richness we have;
Connect with our
BEAUTIFUL
or
our
IMPERFECTION?
I am rich if it is the imperfection ...... but I know I am beautiful EVEN though I don't feel it NOW ...... but now is only now ........ eternal richness?
Yes - I will take the plunge ...... I am RICH RICH RICH STINKING RICH ....
BHP - thats me .....

I am working at this one today .....

so as not to be overcome by them."
