pro tem 1) adj. short for the Latin "pro tempore", temporarily or for the time being.

I couldn't find the full roll of brown tape I had secured my stretched piece of watercolour paper with.
I found the end of an old roll.
Knowing the earlier one would be found later I re secured the edge that was coming away.
Pro temp came to mind -for the time being.
Micro movement towards where you are going are like that
do what you can do now even if only as an Aide de Memoire for who you are going to be


Meaning

'To aid memory'. Literal translation from the French.

Origin

'Aide-mémoire' has become absorbed into English, although it isn't especially old. The term is used to refer to notes, or memoranda, that are taken in order to jog one's memory later. The name was used particularly in the UK diplomatic service. The first known use of it for an English audience was in 1846, in G. Lewis's book -Aide-Mémoire to the Military Sciences. The term had been in use in France for some years by then. TheCatalogue des livres de la bibliotheque de feu M. le duc de La Valliere, 1784, has a reference to:
Aide-mémoire ou Chronologie abrégée. Nancy, 1766
The single word memoir, which derives from the middle French memoire, has been in use in English since at least 1494, when it is cited in Loutfut's Dictionary of the Older Scottish Tongue. This had virtually the same meaning as 'aide-mémoire'.
In recent years the term has also used as an alternative to the term 'mnemonic aid'

Gifts Yet To Discover

Woke up with heroes on my mind
It started with Peter Kaye and his
Over and Over and Over Again
Christmas single as Geraldine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kmPz5IbU90&feature=related

and my conversation with Alison Goulbourne
 in Willow Cafe Heswall

in which we thought up
my being a Life Coach
So then I am going to use this blog to invite that service

GIFTS YET TO DISCOVER
http://www.youtube.com/user/jimtheartist1?blend=7&ob=5#p/u/58/v-gtZdsburg

Any way back to
heroes.
RecentlyDawn French became one
by doing two things
one she wrote a book A LIttle Bit Marvelous
and by loosing lots of weight
David Wolliams became another by writing 4 children's books
speaking about how he has to plot them on the one show and by swimming for charity

Similalrly Ediie Izzard for his creative story telling humour mostly bible based at first
and by that series of marathons and searching his soul publicly

yet another is Hugh Laurie who I imagine manages to surprise himself
with acting accent humour music and being accepted by other musicians so
wonderfullly

So then I will look further into the books that Dawn and David have written
and continue as they have with exercise and diet and writing and humour.

So whta are you going to do?
Who are your heroes.
In a subsequent blog I will outline the creativity life coaching
but what I want to suggest you do in preparation for that is write down some goals
and make a micromovement  by clicking on the join this site button
.You can always click on the star top right and then name it Life Coach in your bookmarks
then you can find it agin by clicking the spanner to bring the blog of

  Gifts yet to discover life coaching with details of fees etc
here as a blog is a continuous stream a live performance

Isaiah 55

New International Version (NIV
Invitation to the Thirsty
 1 “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.

So

here we are in touch with the world
in the past
you would have to get
a radiosatation
or a publisher
theatre company
ringmaster
shop keeper orchurch
to provide you with publication presentation
or pulpit table hill or announcement
before you could like Jesus speak to the crowd

The internet is shoreline
book
pamphlet
stage
telly
if someone gets drawn to your site
gallery book then you can speal.

Holy Spirit
speak through our synapses heal these internet
neural groovers
remove the virus from these
lymph systems so honey and milk can flow bewtween us al
and The Jesus be born in our hearts each moment we share Amen
net

Oscillating halogen heater

searching for answers on the shoreline of my being
.I need to keep warm.
The Jesus not an expression I have heard
The Buddha I have heard and then
associated with him
just a man
a celebration of the ordinary
Zen I some how get
it this the aesthetic of simplicity
yet to achieve Buddha nature implies a serenity
that denies ..............
some vagueness
iconoclastic Jesus and Zen
yes I believe ego and churchy religiousness
manages to be transcended and offers more hope than
the 'lonely crowd of parishioners who having got used to each other
have become a clique in need of breaking out of and being broken into

The icon then of self (group or singular)
needing to be broken
to enable love
unity
sharing caring and
end aloneness
two kinds
me me me
us us us
without purpose
direction
yet routine does not satify if we agree with others to assemble
with open mind hearts
offering essential incomes of
warmth via
food shelter and yes story telling
existence is not obvious
without athread of mutual charater mystery possibilitities
abundance of interestingness
flavours of melody tastes of ideas fumbleings and jumblings of oh
i like this new riff plate of tastes

If a thing is worth doing....worthdoing badly
well

we have to be somewhere i needs must do soemthing
if i am a shop keeper
outside they need eveidence of life and change and something new happening
noone wants stale
yet they want craft and of course
they do not they they?

yes well us we
want to be thought literate
people dopy like ourselves ask the obvious
floundering on new shores
by rearranging things and be open bringing new ingredients tastes flavours ideas inclusivenesses in
we do not want to be a jumble sale and yet
we all like the searching
so a market stall
or a sea side
corridor of clothes to try on

oh oh
now back to soem sort of thread then

we they ask do you do ....
did you do.....
as icebreakers tow diffferent purposes seemingly
on to show amazement or to flatter that they fiond what you do
worthy of remark
remarkable
or
to establish they can buy that here
the that being something that it is obvious at this moment you do do
yet as soon as they have that
and want
the something else that you
now stock they want what you used to do

The Jesus did not encourage us to
be religious no
step out include share
the Jesus
what is the Jesus
least of on of these hopeful prayerfu;
promising change
enabling gifts healing brokenesss of loneliness
sharing caring self denying but not to be merely empty trancsended
higher than others bu here with trusting in beleiving and sharing miracel
life is holy!
Live lovingly -it is all going to be all right
yet not comfortabel
yet peace beyond understanding
isaiah of the Jesus
my thought are not your thoughts
so though I rummage about wrting morning pages stream of consiousness style
I am not necessaruily doing what psalm one said
no I must rummage on
chew on God's voice
and what do I find there
my word will come down like rain and like snow
and cause the bread
he The Jesus
did come
and Isaiah speaks of come without money
it will not sartify
yet I ahve taken somehthing my earthly dad said as being modest
yet profound
currency
my flowing being renewing carryin on
currency is meant to flow
we are that current and our flowing should irrigate others with the hop of ressurrection
Jesus did not die
or rather having doene so
there was and there is for us in concept?
enlightenment or in soem profound exceptional
and to be grasped wiuth our hearts WAY
a new birth just as we create new lines
and new products and reange our perception of our assets

ours no The Jesus
what you do
or do not do
so lets us do something for someone everyone we meet
let us sustain the endeavour to make a difference

Frugal wonderment

Frugal Wonderment, Betty Windfall and Haddy Nuff
God and the Devil.

Each of the characters were able to self justify
themselves with their own opinion
but only God could adjust them to a bigger one

Allotment pub and cafe-bar

Frugal wonderment used the hedgerows as his garden
and others joined him at it along the old disused railway siding

Betty windfall bragged as she went from slimming club to bar
buying her friends

Haddy Nuff blew his blue despondent saxophone
and walked backwards through a hopeless that drained
everyone who smiled his way

Faithful Umpteen watched Searching Sam go past the cafe
He sat writing sermons reviewing scripture and pondering end times
with eyes that spoke of sadness as Sam cluttered along with a borrowed camera
though he had lots of money and a fat pension born from sustained monotony
and hobbies without a solid dream.He would go to museum and waterfront
or revisit the engineers he once worked with.He had a catolgue of others interests whilst
Faithful formed an opinion of what God meant and hoped to inrtoduce others to said
opionator

Only God could help Sam find the pieces that would verify his belief that
'someone is looking after me' by showing his the bigger picture
and only God could and would answer Faithful's prayers by showing
him the chapter about the vineyard workers.

I am reading both the course notes of the children's writing course
and browsing the Julia Cameron's book the artists way
She is talking about God as good orderly direction or flow
and I think again of 'currency' and meant to flow and the talents of Jesus
parable.Also of the book asset based thinking.

I quipped yesterday you cannot
have your present until you have
used up your past.
What are we not using?

So the beginning of this blog is my response when
waking to the thoughts arrived at by my
sleeping jimness to the writing course requirement for
characters whether i choose mystery
story short synopsis play or cartoon strip.
Fed by the film by Sylvain Chomet belleville rendez-vouz
Babs and I had watched The illusionist by him which
was based on the end of music hall and the character of
Jacques Tati.

In this one the modus was mechanism and cinema and bicycle .
An old lady wanting to amuse her bored son buys him a puppy
dust off an old piano and a railway set and
them having found a scrapbook of bicycles
beneath his bed a tricycle.All are attempts
 to amuse him only the bike works.
She cannot play piano so cannot inspire him and the
dog grow fat,whilst she trains her son for the tour de France
.Also a city grows around their home
and with it a railway bridge.
The dogs tail as a pup gets run over so
 the dog fat as he is skids along stairs and floors to bark at
the trains going right past the upstairs window..

The film had started with a comical black and white
 vaudeville act viz three musical sisters

The mafia collect straggling struggling cyclist and take them off on a liner to belleville
where they are strapped into a theatre contraption with b/w film to cycle into
it is a gambling hall for gangsters as the three frog eating sisters help Madame Souza
and Bruno the dog rscue Champion the son.

Vusually delightful city scapes whimsy Heath Robinson mechanisms and inventive musical
sound making on tuned cycle wheels tea pots newspapers refridgerators

and keystone cop style wacky races  ending with explosions car tumbles on hills
madcap tactics including tripping a car with madame souza's club foot
are a feast that would satisfy searle,steadman aardman et al
fab.

Morning pages writing course and small net book

So then turning up again at the morning pages of Julia Cameron
today I am off to the library to ask about a German language cd that Amy
would like to obtain need the details for her.She will phone to ask me later.

want to dig out Julia cameron's book and the resent pages of the writing
 course I am slowly easing my way up several hills at the same time
financial by advertising and seeking to serve current customers well.
Finishin an invite image for a wedding-having done theme double portrait
visiting Liverpool to pass old drawings of singers with artwork to
a lady whose business card I just completed.Finding appropriate fingerstyle and stave
music for my guitar students and building recent colour theory ideas with a rubber solution technique for Christmas cards.


The diet hill requires walking cycling and points counted creative cooking
and economic purchasing and freezer bag and box thinking.
I am noticing it is uneconomic to buy designer point counted food
and so need to make reasonable informed guesstimates to cook
what I trust include no point tomatoes onions veg n fruit as a
strategy going low on spuds and bread buy not excluding as part of
balance to my diet.

The music hill .One leg need to continue scribbling and joyfully dancing
 routing with bass n harmonica whilst  on guitar the other disciplines itself with stave
and two hand coordination for piano guitar and recent dabbling on violin

The writing course hill must be sustained and I will see more clearly
 an aspect of my creative future when I choose and complete the assignment 8
that has beeen on hold for nearly two years now.

Whilst the morning pages suggests three pages
these goals are calling their imperative to me so I will get dressed
after a quick bath and go off to the library
