Not Afraid

Why am I afraid to tell you who I am?
because if I tell you who I am,
and you don't like who I am,
that is all I have".

This is the 'Not Afraid' Mission for this blog.
I want to bleed openness - reality - the good, the bad, and the beautiful!

Butterfly Effect

Take a living child and
sew him up in a
dead mans skin.

Grandfather
has come back to life.

I read that recently, about how children become just like their Grandfather, or Grandmother, with values, attitudes, principles and behaviour.

Grandfather has come back to life.

'Each recruit of the human race
is a the instrument for what is called socialisation,
that is, getting each new recruit to the human race
to behave and experience in substantially
the same way as those who are already here.'

As I see it, my Mission
is about facilitating opportunities
for humans to grow and develop
to be
all that they can become.

"A caterpillar looks nothing like a butterfly
but one develops from the other"

I believe that.
I believe that for humans too!

Often beautiful humans are trapped in a dead persons skin.
They don't know any other options - often.
There is a beautiful human in there - trying to get out.
And that is where other humans, like you and me, comes in.
In the process of working at our own stumbling development, we are aiming to be of some support and usefulness to others.

Thirty years ago I was leading a team of forty Youth Worker on the streets/clubs of East London.
Once a month we had a Training evening.
A skilled human from outside came in and I, the Team Leader, became a peer in learning alongside my colleagues.
Having a strategic plan of how to take in - vital!
We all need to take in as well as give out.

I leave you with a quote - so undress your soul - here it comes::

"Everything depends on the lens you use.
Make your gaze beautiful. "

I want to be whole?

I want to be whole
No I don't
To be perfect.........
Is ..........
Not to be
Not to happen.

Reminds me of the story, a man saw the butterfly struggle as it tried to break out of it's chrysalis. So, with small scissors, he cut through the binding, locking, gripping chrysalis and the butterfly struggled free.

Then it flopped fell over could not move it's wings weak, never to fly.

The very act in the struggle it to gain strength.

The worst times in my life I fear them even now yet looking back, they were the greatest in terms of
living,
learning,
strength,
wisdom,
sensitivity,
self awareness,
life .............

I don't want to be whole. I want to journey in that direction
I want to shout
I want to sing
I am free
I am free
I am free indeed.

Join me?
Or do you think that is all talk mad rubbish? and someone else but in to my wisdom with better words - but I can take it - I want it EVEN

"The whole person is on the one side open to God,
and on the other side open to other people.
The isolated individual is not a real person,
for a real person lives in and for others.
This idea...could be summed up under the word love.
We become truly personal by loving God and by loving other humans.
By love,
I don’t mean merely an emotional feeling,
but a fundamental attitude.
In its deepest sense,
love is the life,
the energy,
of the Creator in us.
We are not truly human as long as we are turned in on ourselves.
We become whole only insofar as we face others, and relate to them."
