A few years ago, a distressed woman stood on the platform at Embankment Tube station in London.  Trains passed, but she didn’t get on.  She just stood and listened as the announcements played,  “Mind the gap”.  She approached the staff and asked why the voice had gone.  Which voice, they wondered.  Then she explained that she meant the man who usually said, 'Mind the Gap’.  The voice had changed. Someone different was saying those words.  The staff explained that the announcement system had been updated and a new actor had been used to voice,  “Mind the gap.”They asked why it was so important.  "That voice was my husband," she replied.  The woman was Dr Margaret McCollum, and the voice was her late husband, actor Oswald Laurence, who had died a few years earlier.  She had found comfort in hearing his voice making the announcements while she waited for her train, but now it was gone.  Moved by her distress, staff eventually managed to track down the old recording.  They ga

  THE HUMAN BODY is an amazing masterpiece.  With the senses, we see, hear, taste, smell and touch the world, drawing its mystery inside us.  With the mind, we probe the eternal structures of things.  With the face, we present ourselves to the world and recognize each other.  But it is the heart that makes us human.  John O'Donohue

  The heart is where the beauty of the human spirit comes alive.  Without the heart, the human would be sinister.  To be able to feel is the great gift.  When you feel for someone, you become united with that person in an intimate way; your concern and compassion come alive, drawing some of the other person's world and spirit into yours.  Feeling is the secret bridge that penetrates solitude and isolation.  Without the ability to feel, friendship and love could never be born.  All feeling is born in the heart.  This makes the human heart the true jewel of the world. John O’Donohue

  No story so divine never was love, dear King never was grief like thine This is my friend, in whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend. Jesus cried out .... .......and died .... .... and the curtains of the Temple  where torn ........ So came the reflection to me in the 'next to the Market' Church  backintheday No separation now none of this 'priest one side (next to God) humans the other side (next to no-body)' This last breath act made it no separateness no VIP's No ordinary humans Freedom for all that act of freedom like the Passover celebrating the freedom from Egypt from Slavery there was here delivered in that cry that last breath Freedom makes me weep see my www.pipwilson.com   I dislike the word 'control' love the word 'freedom' I never give advice I want to live to be a facilitator that means 'helper' never 'control' always striving for freedom ..........

  You are so easy to love. AND I love it. It is wondrous to be loved. It lasts when we are distant. Not in-touch. BUT  ......................... it is so beautiful to be in a relationship of love. It makes me totally aware that all others are not EASY TO LOVE These my friends are the most need of love. Most need of ME & you LOVING. I strive to love everyone when a little trigger in my brain/heart digs an elbow in my soul and I think 'This BHP is not very easy to love' - then a step beyond that - tells me that it is the behaviour - the language - the racist language - the anger spilling OR SPITTING over me, reminding me to love - expecting nothing in return. So today I was reminded by someone I love - that I am loved and .......... I am so appreciative .............. THANK YOU ........

 

  I am not who I was. The meds I am on - drives me to sleep. I sleep at nights better than I used to + daytime I am drawn to sleep even first thing our of bed in a morning. This morning I was keen to catch the   Australian rugby league game on TV. I felt sleepy all the game = not enjoyable, only regrettable. I am not communicating well Even my best of friends Unanswered emails Even phone calls I am not in day in day out in  pain as I was. I apologise to you for my lack of communication. I feel the love between us both ways that’s why I apologise  This where I am at.  Not complete.  On a journey.  A road less travelled Join me? Please consider taking one thought away from my reflections. Consider transposing that one thing into your life - that next step you will take Consider what you plan to do with that seed. Keep it as a secret ’going forward’ consideration THO Feedback and your life reflections - are always always welcome. Our daily walk does me good. I would love when it gets warm

  'Presence and availability are the essence of love' Gabriel Marcel  Apart from anger at injustice, which motivates social action, anger can often be so destructive to an individual and relationships. It all comes out of the Hard Drive in our head = the Brain. Emotions travel faster to the HD than the thought process. More-so in adolescence. In certain situations the anger fades quickly. Others live with it for much longer. I believe and experience many humans  becoming aware and skilled in this area. Emotional Intelligence can be developed. My work with groups is a challenge.  Not only do I aim to communicate  but I aim to create an environment and opportunity  for everyone there to communicate.  Yes listening!  Yes verbally and non-verbally  expressing themselves.  In my own life I know that managing emotions needs  continuous opportunities to articulate them with others. Many professional struggle with their own emotions including anger management. In their work and private
