then it is not possible for another to say to you
you are gifted
On the other hand
the idea that your gift is ltd is questionable
as life offer a profusion of senses and stimuli that we can
'take for granted'
what does that mean again without someone granting it giving it allowing it then
another one of those equations that ends in the decision to times by nought
i.e. granted or gifted X 0= 0
the decision like the tired thought I had last night on facebook
when in my tiredness and my feeling of loneliness
I decided with this tired mind that
'my me is broken'
well yes that is a feeling but hardly a complete picture when I do believe in Grace
I do believe i am gifted and
I do believe in a whole range of possibilities and no I am not ltd but some false man made perspective of a limiting realism when the mapped yet expanding known universe belies such a notion of limiting it to known 'probabilities' I feel whether you are scientific or faithfilled with hope and gratitude major propelling 'Gifts' in themselves that there is much to discover unvover and give birth to.I woke up and I did whilst slowly emerging from my weary bed I WOKE UP it may not be a major epiphany nor a EUREKA moment yet
I am ambition about a book I will write with nice loose penline words just two
Hope and Gratitude
and it will be based on 2012 yet only as fuel fro to date the words is to say the fuel is used up and clearly it isn't the build up of kinetic energy and dreams of this year alone is massive 'seed no bigger than a mustard seed is a scientific example of a parable' something professor Dawkins a.very intelligent man endorses.He sees a great usefulness to parables and say amen to science and r'religion' working alongside each other for the benefit of mankind.My friend Doctor Frederick Franck spoke of the aspiration to 'become Human' and the most human of my reckoning is the man and spirit of Jesus,whose self sacrifice will and is healing the minds of those who will transcend religiousness on behalf of action and faithfilled responsibility to us turning around limiting 'worry with a relook at flowers and the birds'And say to the powerful look you are not arrayed like one of these they are better examples of peace in your deep massive genes development than your current destructive misue of science currently suggests.
So the fuel of GRATITUDE then as I look to the current year
1. My grand daughter Isobel Poppy is one year old and starting the adventure of the second year with recent visual memories of travelling in a wheel barrow full of flowers through Lyme Regis summer fresh air and happiness and stories read to her back to the bride and groom .As they had been given as gifts to her and to us all from the mutual caring to share of Robert (my son ) and Susie(my new daughter-to hell with the 'in law' bit!- (I care more than that wording)).The stories and references included such wonders as Edward Monkton ,magnetic pulls,and re snoring terry Pratchett a wake up set of stories rather than a bedtime series.
2.The Paraolympians hallelujahhallelujahhallelujah wowsers if ever faith and science through life coaching and engineering showed and proved a spiritual dimension transcending limiting religion or po faced equations of abstract self indulgence and purposelessness YOU ALL DID and God the world is truly grateful and therefor GRACE fILLED and GRACE -FUELLED!.
3.The OLmYPICS the mutual fuel of a world in concert despite a shattered economy on a global scel we all proved their is fuel true CURRENCY which has meaning as that of the Isaiah 55 poetry
“Come, all you who are thirsty,
come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.
2 Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and you will delight in the richest of fare.
3 Give ear and come to me;
listen, that you may live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
my faithful love promised to David.
4 See, I have made him a witness to the peoples,
a ruler and commander of the peoples.
5 Surely you will summon nations you know not,
and nations you do not know will come running to you,
because of the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel,
for he has endowed you with splendor.”

6 Seek the Lord while he may be found;
call on him while he is near.
7 Let the wicked forsake their ways
and the unrighteous their thoughts.
Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.

8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
12 You will go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands.
13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper,
and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.
This will be for the Lord’s renown,
for an everlasting sign,
that will endure forever.”
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
