We had some fun today.
I cannot resist it when I am with a bunch of beautiful humans -
who are up for fun and learning.
Here we are with 20 kisses on Valentines Day -
see the video below.

I am in Norway and doing Mission at this special 'whole person' college. They are doing the education I love and admire.
It is about the whole person growing.
Developing.
Yearning to become.

I am conducting sessions with them and leading them through a process of feeling safe and secure with me. Enough that they will take risks for their own development. Of course the greatest risks, the most dangerous journey, is the road less travelled. The journey into the interior. Undressing their soul. Clocking feeling, discovering there is so much more about emotional intelligence. Becoming articulate in emotional literacy. Discovering that there is another human inside the - trying to get out.
What an adventure.
Entering into a theme park of wonder and creativity.
All inside the human frame, which they have been around in, since birth.

I listen to Bugge Wesseltoft as I click - must upload one of his tracks.
A Norwegian artiste. A keyboard genius. Love him love him.

I have been working with 83 Students at this college.
I liken it to 'Fame School'.
It is the sort of dancing and singing community where humans have a year to adventure and discover.
A place where they can decide to learn from experiences rather than aim for academic certificates - they don't do that stuff.
But, they do consider, some of the questions about the future - their lives - their direction - their hopes ......
... it inspires me.
They are yearning to become and not just BE what they are.
I LOVE IT LOVE IT.

All Norwegians I have ever met have been a picture of warmth and welcome.
The bring me here, full of hospitality and openness with their heart too.
I find the young humans are massive in co-operation.
They dive into games and interactions with energy.
But there is often a wall mid that journey.
They, like all of us, don't love like they have never been hurt.
They too ' ....are afraid to tell you who I am' the title of my favourite book.
They too are not in touch with their feelings
They too struggle to articulate them.
They too need experiences which give them permission to burst the bubble.

Every group is different. Some groups are not 'fertile soil'.
Some groups are hard in terms of not wanting to consider their interior life.
Every group is different. A different dynamic.
My mission is to become accepted by them.
To help deliver a climate of trust.
Fertile ground creation - w can only do that together.
Only then can we enter in.
Only then can we undress.
Undress and find onion-like layers of beautiful imperfection.

It was 1979 when I first did my study and a dissertation titled 'Emotional Deprivation'.
I was working with Gangs then and struggling to work with them and their behaviour.
And struggling to handle my own behaviour including feelings.
I knew that I would have to go beyond behaviour and look at, understand, what was driving the behaviour.
Since that big step forward, I have been on the continues journey of discover. How does a human work. All the beauty amongst the raging emotions. All the sparks coming out of a person when the lose it. All the freezing of he soul when they are wounded.
I had to reside in that wounded place - to understand and begin the work of undressing my soul.

I am reflecting in my little room in the Folk High School.
I must now do more prep for the sessions to come - and upload some music and video.

You are beautiful.

DANGER HERE.

You will hear sound from my piPhone above - playing music.
Also you will hear sound from the Video below - a sound of 20 KISSES.
You chose!!!!

We had some fun today........

Søndag 15. februar om kvelden arrangerer Sunnmøre Folkehøgskule i Ulsteinvik den første av to SUFH-gudstenester dette halvåret.

Det er Lars Erling Bjåstad Hovlid, Jan Einar Roos og Øyvin Sønnesyn som står som ansvarlege, og ønsket er å dele med bygda nokre av dei ressursane SUFH representerer.

Denne helga har SUFH vitjing av Pip Wilson frå London. Han har gjeve ut mange bøker med eit innhald som inspirerer og legg til rette for refleksjon og kommunikasjon. Han er mykje brukt som tilretteleggar av gruppeprosessar og som foredragshaldar over heile Europa, både innan KFUM og næringslivet. Han har bakgrunn som ungdomsarbeidar og KFUM-sekretær, og arbeider framleis med heimlause, rusmisbrukarar, elevar og studentar, men også sosialarbeidarar, pedagogar, behandlarar og leiarar.

Gudstenesta vil nesten utan unntak ha song med røtter i den keltiske fromheitstradisjonen – og både ”You raise me up”, ”Deg å få skode”, ”May the road rise to meet you” og ”Guds dyrebare Ord” er på songlista. Det vert ikkje preike i vanleg forstand, men Pip Wilson vil sørgje for at dei frammøtte får sjansen til både å kommunisere og reflektere. Ståle Rasmussen, Bertil Tødenes, Jan Thormodsæter og Øyvin Sønnesyn står for musikken.

The view from my bedroom window.


you are beautiful

"Ummmmms" and "aaaahhhs" are not the only co-partners of kissing, for a passionate lip-lock unleashes a chain of chemical changes that really turn your head, claims a new study.

Wendy Hill, professor of psychology
at Lafayette College, Pennsylvania has taken the opportunity to shed light on that most basic of all human expressions of love — the smooch. In her study, Hill has found that......

a meeting of lips can spark a complex chemical surge into the brain that makes a lover feel excited, happy or relaxed.

Also, it is being speculated that the hormone release may be triggered directly by an exchange of sexually stimulating pheromones in the saliva.
"This study shows kissing is much more complex and causes hormonal changes and things we never thought occurred," the Times quoted her, as saying. "We tend to think more about who we are kissing and how it feels, yet there are a lot of other things happening," she added.

I am always reflective at airport and in flight.
I notice more apple macs at airports now.
Commuting through London I do other things
read, prep, Guardian, more immediate.

The train DLR took me past Silvertown way.
When we first came to London we walked along there with Ann in the pram.
it was horrific.
A hive of urban activity and mad drivers/trucks feeding the industry.
Today I saw it as ghost town
derelict buildings
fenced off pubs and cafs
... left behind.

Battery gone in my swatch
stink
and I cannot find one at these small town airports.
I am stuck on noon.

I have decided that I facilitate experiences
for self
for others
To encourage humans to take step for their own development
body mind spirit.

My window side elbow is always cold on planes.

I see white landscapes as I fly
- White airports
- White laden snow ploughs
- I see clouds below
they are like dishwater
because below
there is a whiter than white landscape.
The water is grey too - the land so white.

I am residing in a place called beautiful.
I am not referencing the scenery.
It is the beautiful humans ...........................

Joan is watching TV
some sort of football match
usual...... some national game??

This is top of the bill tonight
(I must go and pack
shower and shave for Norway)
but this is Emma and Matt
brick Lane Pipturesque.

They get wed on 28/2
and God Bless them in their beauty-full-ness.
They always, when they can, curry with the gang and we wish them love and wonder ........
