This is the sort of Blog
when I start off cold
having no clue
as to what the next
letter
word
sentence
paragraph
da de da
will be ...............

Feelings a good place to start.
Feeling pretty good.
Busier I am
better I am.

I feel good.
A bit drained today.
Recovered catching up at home
still not attacked my inbox
my backlog
please don't think I forget you
I have streaming in my head
streaming humans
you are there
but I never seem to get back to you.
Must download a new brain.

Five words to describe my life at the moment
(and hope it will trigger yours?)
Buzzing
Touched
Blessed
Un-strategic
Beyond

I always buzz from being amongst
caterpillars becoming butterflies.
When I see humans stepping onwards.
Especially when they have been served crap.
Dished out from adult around them.
Not necessarily deliberately.
Usually they have inadequate recourses
to bring to being successful parents.
So the kids get crap.
No solid role models.
Little emotional security.
Few tools provided during childhood apprenticeship
leaving them badly tooled up to mend life themselves.

I am also inspired by being amongst butterflies.
Those humans flying.
reaching wondrous potential.
Seeking life,
and not just for self.
Striding to the edge
yearning
becoming ..........

So feelings are positive.
But now I need to
Refocus.
Prioritise.
Plan.
Proactive.
Do the right things.

When I was a CEO
and before that
as a leader of teams,
(I have been in
four key projects in my life
as a leader),
I had these priorities::
People
Purpose
Process.

I still want to hold them
tightly to my chest.

Maybe I need to share my planning with you.
Share my vulnerabilities
and my efforts, and failures, as I work for change.

Last week I tried to do a themed series of blogs
all about
YOU
or
YOURS.


I felt I was being
more provocative
more direct
dishing some stuff.

I must google my soul again
dish up some more
and it will be in a book forthcoming .....

When a man came to converse with Socrates,

he usually thought that he had a fair knowledge of what he was talking about. But after half an hour of Socrates' questioning, he discovered that he knew nothing at all – and at that moment, Socrates explained, his philosophical quest could begin.

Socrates maintained that wisdom consisted of the disorienting realisation of the profundity of human ignorance. People must interrogate their most fundamental prejudices or they would live superficial, expedient lives, because "the unexamined life is not worth living". To philosophise was not to bludgeon your opponent into accepting your point of view, but to do battle with yourself.

Beautiful Human Person

You are a valuable person
You are a special person
You are a unique person
You are beautiful
You are precious
You are unrepeatable
You are mysterious
You are a beautiful human person

No one will ever exist like you
No one will ever experience a life that you have experienced
You are a collection of specialness that has never been put together before
Your life deserves a film premiere at a West End cinema
You are so special and valuable that Jesus has died for you
He loves you so much that he has given his life for you
His love is completely and totally 100% for you

If you became a better person now,
If you became a committed Christian today – either or both
God couldn’t love you any more tomorrow
His love for you is total NOW and he cannot love you anymore
Of course he deserves a response and makes him happy if we respond
BUT his love is not dependent on it.
You are 100%, totally and completely loved.

‘How strange that we should ordinarily feel compelled
to hide our wounds
when we are all wounded.’

you
and
I

you |yoō|
pronoun [ second person singular or plural ]
1 used to refer to the person or people that the speaker is addressing : are you listening? | I love you.
• used to refer to the person being addressed together with other people regarded in the same class : you Australians.
• used in exclamations to address one or more people : you fools | hey, you!
2 used to refer to any person in general : after a while, you get used to it.

You make me sick
You make mad
You always do this
You are very irritating
You are stupid

You make me feel terrible
You make me feel ugly
You make me feel angry
You make me feel sad
You make me feel hopeless

No-one makes you feel.
You feel your own feelings
They are inside you
The feelings belong to you.
Feelings can be triggered by another.

YOU -the word
is not the best word to start a sentence
not the best chance of a positive
interaction
dialogue
discussion
exchange
relationship.

I feel terrible
I feel ugly
I feel angry
I feel sad
I feel hopeless.

You are sharing your feelings here
You are sharing our unique self
undressing the soul.

'I', the use of 'I',
at the front end of a sentence
is owning those feelings.
those feelings residing in your gut
those feelings rising up through the chest
those feelings desperate to spit out of the mouth
an act of fight, not flight,
unless you use emotional intelligence.

That developed skill, emotional intelligence,
develops the ability to
manage feelings
NOT letting them manage you -
and the the resulting
surge up through the chest
the spitting of words
the damaged relationship
the regret.

One year ago today
I was working in a project
Conducting group work
A group of young humans
All unique
All experienced a long life
Of hurts - far too young.

I remember it being electric
the dynamics
the feelings
up there
fourth floor
beautiful flower buds opening
to the sun ..................

I remember sitting in the corridor afterwards
On the floor
with a young human
who was facing decisions
I have never had to face
never had to face
in my whole life.

I remember offering
my all
100%
and still feeling inadequate

I left late and traveled home
long/tired/reflective/buzzing/lovingit

As I travelled home
a staff member was stabbed twice in the back.
Serious ...............

I my iPhone/Mac will remind me
annually
forever.
My emotions will stay locked
vivid
pray-full
forever ................................

Your behaviour is not Unique.
Your behaviour is copied from those around you in childhood.
Your behaviour is a result of the new born-you being sewn up in the skin of your dead great-Grandfather.
Your behaviour is not unique.
Your behaviour is inherited.

Your soul is unique.
Your very essence belongs to you only
Your whole personhood is beautiful.
Your centre is precious.
Your behaviour is imperfection.
Your soul is beautiful
You are a beautiful human person.

There is no such thing as a difficult person.
Only difficult behaviour.

"For men and women are not only themselves
they are the region in which they they played as children,
the old wives tale they overheard,
the food they ate,
the schools they attended,
the sports they followed,
the poems theyread,
and the God they believed in".


Somerset Maughan, The Razor's Head.

Where are your wounds?
Why do you hide them from me?
Why, when we are both wounded?
Why are you afraid to tell me who you are?
