STOP
click the Pipturesque
above
- see it BIG - enlarged.

Place your finger on the one
which describes your
feelings
at the moment.

Or use two finger
on more than one.

Do it physically
because motion
changes
emotion.

Doing this is
doing
Emotional Literacy.
Doing this
means being real
and reality touching.
It makes us real
makes us authentic.
Being who we are
not a face for public
and
a face - reserved for self.
(Two faced = not OK!!)

One more QUESTION
One more touching challenge::
Place your finger on a blob
which was you during the past 12 months
when you were at your lowest.

Then end with a warm touch of a Blob
which was you at your warmest-wondrous best.

Remember
you are beautiful.





“People don’t want drills. They want holes.”

I have::
three cold sores on my lip
one tight chest
one slumped human frame
multiple coughs
water drinking by the gallon
One big-enlarged-bursting-encouraged-soul.

Norway was great
Iceland was great
both bursting my soul
excitement
fulfilment
purpose
mission
love it love it
but
the
forthcoming
a week-end
in Nottingham University
forthcoming
I yearn for
..... the forthcoming

a challenge like
never before
unknown beautiful humans
who, I know, I will love.
I know they will stretch me
..... it is always the forthcoming
with me ..............

I have just posted
Pipturesque
from Norway
from Iceland
on my Facebook.

Here are
Pipturesque
from Iceland.

I am returning.
I want more.
The more you give
the more I receive.
The more I am drained -
the more adrenaline
the more time
the more energy
- I grow more (i)
- I see more (ii)

A caterpillar looks nothing like a butterfly
but one develops fro the other. (i)

I am blind and I want to see (ii)


I ended my first book with this quote from the Bible::
'Seek the
SHALOM
of the city
where I have sent you
because in it's
SHALOM
you will find your own
SHALOM.'

And this is what SHALOM
is all about::

S h a l o m.
Hebrew word usually rendered 'peace' in English versions of the Bible.
a For the individual - a totally intergrated life of health of body,
heart and mind, attuned to nature, open to others, in joy with God.
b Between persons - sharing, mutuality and love.
c In community or society - justice, dignity, independence and
freedom, harmony and reciprocity,
the contentment with 'enough' that all may have 'enough'.

It is the opposite to oppression, violence, and selfishness;
it means man/woman as a caring trustee of creation,
having ended exploitation, indifference and irresponsibility.
This is something of the Shalom of God
'which passes all understanding',
the total well-being he wills for man - woman and the cosmos,
the goal of his mission, the content of his reign.

Jeff Halper in the UK

jeff

Greenbelt is supporting the speaking tour by the Israeli campaigner Jeff Halper of ICAHD throughout March. Jeff is in conversation with Dr Ghada Karmi, a leading Palestinian writer and academic, to discuss how boycotts and other sanctions can allow the public to have a direct involvement in a complex situation, and achieve concrete solutions – similar to those achieved by global action against South African apartheid.

They're speaking in Exeter, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bradford and London, and there are engagements in each that the public can attend. All dates are free entry. See below for dates and locations…

15 March – Exeter
6.30pm – Institute of Arabic & Islamic Studies Dept, University of Exeter – Streatham Campus

16 March – Birmingham
7.30pm – Birmingham Unite Offices, Broad Street

17 March – Glasgow
7.30pm – Boyd Orr Building, University of Glasgow

18 March – Edinburgh
7.30pm – Augustine Church, George IV Bridge, Edinburgh

19 March – Bradford
5.00pm – Bradford University

20 March – London
2.30pm – G2 Main Building, School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS)

It promises to be a fascinating and motivating set of discussions that allow a real insight into this challenging situation. We hope to have some audio and video content from Jeff and Ghada up on the Greenbelt site soon.

I sit alone in a crowded room. Sipping coffee. Then I am joined by one, then two ..... and table full of beautiful humans.

Will you join me sometime?
