Lord we seek parenting.
Not just a father but a mother too.
We need all the qualities of 'family'.
Brothers,sisters,aunts ,uncles:
to feel part of,not apart from
the flock.
And you have given us instructions
to find the lost and alone sheep.
From the often
scrambled, chaotic collage of
clues and snippets of advice
we/I ask for what to pray?
How to focus?
Thankyou Lord that
we all woke up this morning
Thank you that as I did
you answered my plea
with Liverpool's football anthem
Lord we are walking through storms
seeking to keep our heads held high
to look up not down
and not to be afraid of the
dark flooded valley
We seek courage
from the seeds of faith
you have planted
in each one of us
Not to just sing but believe
and to act upon
these words
'IF YOU SAY GO
WE WILL GO
IF YOU SAY STAY
WE WILL STAY
IF YOU SAY STEP OUT ON THE WATER
though they say it can't be done
WE WILL FIX OUR EYES ON YOU>>>>>>>and WE WILL COME!
Your ways are higher than our ways and when the curtain ripped
Jesus had broken through the sea had parted
the dove had returned
the rainbow of hope had appeared
Your son's shining had brought us back home to you
'MOTHER /FATHER' GOD Author of ALL LIFE.
The slave mother Jochobed
entrusted baby Moses to a basket
and placed it in the reeds and water of the NILE
Miriam Jochobed's sister bravely asked the Pharoah's daughter if
Jochobed could effectively wet nurse her own son.
Lord may we entrust ourselves and our children
to your motherhood?
In parallel to Herod's defense of his authoring
the words on the cross
he wrote 'what I have written I have written'
and so Lord help us to identify
and author such testimony in our lives
Esther authored the words 'If I perish I perish'
instructing..go and gather all the Jews in Susa
and fast for me,I will go see the King,
which is not according to the law.'
Lord help us to be more like Esther,Jochobed,
and the midwives of Exodus 1.17
who let the male children live
Help us always to fear you more than
the legalism of our own interpretations
BRING US TOGETHER AS FAMILY
May the storms of nature's devastation and war's cruelty
from Syria to Somerset be fought by the presence of mothers
and fathers and the children all in concert
saying 'NO!Whenever others are excluded from your Love and rescue.
My Spotify account just suggested that if I like Leonard Cohen
perhaps I might also like Jennifer Warnes
My facebook accounts invite me to like and to share
and you remind me that
'what I do not do
for the least of one of these
I do not do for you'
And that anyone can like their likeable friends
but I am to be more like the outsider Samaritan
and Love those who do not seem likeable-my enemies(?)
And 'turn the other cheek'
I pray for Dawn French
whose simple plea on the front of
a glossy magazine looking sad and lonely
is 'don't bully me for being fat'.
Lord help us identify the bully in each of us and repent
we learn some of it from the judgemental culture of out newspapers
The big game of fame and fortune hunting
and the famous and fortunate being hunted
Temptations
help us to live on enough is enough
to say no to such narrowness of heart
Let us know that our enough is Jesus
our mother father sister and brother. Amen

Mind palaces
Poirot speaks of little grey cells
the recent Sherlock speaks of mind palaces.
I think of misogyny and a friends's interpretation of the bible
'a woman must not have authority over a man'.
Then I think of the streams that feed his mind.
Agatha Christie and the Daily Mail.
Mmmmmmmmmm!
Well 'she' and 'he' then.
The she who writes for the Miss Marple
of seemingly background figure who is able
to be an incidental figure in the village
subordinate to male society
like the Bronte sisters writing as men.
Created by a woman and expressing a
woman's wisdom ,but 'knowing her place'(that right then?).
Reminds me of Good will hunting ,when the psychiatrist
speaks to Will of 'not much dignity in that' viz acting as a
janitor in the most prestigious maths university
and when no one is looking completing formula
that only one or two brains on the planet can achieve.
So instead then has to act as a foreigner ,giving her the chance to play
with her own identity.On the one hand everyone thinks
that he is French(a man) when he is real;y Belgian(a woman?)
Yet my friend seems to fail to notice he has been ministered to
by a woman.Following her (secular?) parables for years.
An avid fan!
But that wasn't the mind place that I woke to at ten to four.
No it was the ying and yang of male/female parables in the form of
two important film parables. Both using watery metaphors.
In Amelie she dissolves before our eyes onto the floor of the cafe
into so many little drops of water.In Shipping news Kevin Spacey
drowns as water fills the rooms each time his identity is disintegrated by
a none love situation.Strangely the mind palace here is also added to.
For God has also segue-d Kevin into the character in Paying it forward.
In which the ministrations of the boy's mother completes him.
Both proverbial female characters are illustrated in the Paying it forward
parable.His first wife is the wrong type of girl.Whilst the kindly mum
is the right type.She is the one who has nurtured a compassionate boy
who at Kevin the teacher's invitation comes up with the human as angel
who does three good things ...and the pay it forward actions (Biblical behaviour).
In both Shipping News and in Paying it forward Kevin Spacey's character
is informed /transformed from damaged/abused/confused/hurting to a functioning loving
(forgiven) new man through the compassionate acts of kindly women.
The ying to the yang of this is Amelie.Her parents are studies in shallow none meaningful
lives illustrated by the nit picking love of their contents.Exemplified by knowing in
detail their boring bags and uncreative environments for their child.
She is so full of life that she rights wrongs like a Quixotic genius.
The best bit is when she crosses the road describing the world around
her to the blind person who has a postively euphoric Damascus road experience
with her mind's eye open to all the wonder beauty and joy of the encounter.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah born again at its best.
To these films one must add Good Will Hunting where it is the focus
on the love of a woman that liberates both client and patient as they
realize the point of life is fulfillment of choosing life,
utilizing the gifts one has been given and of pursuing relationship.
Lost and found a little Pixar film is also a fantastic parable
for we do not always notice what God had given us.
Perhaps a lovely metaphor for God is the octopus
who balletic-ally and unnoticed (following a storm)
rights the boat,places the two disparate characters
back in the boat and then gives the boat a gentle shove
before disappearing as they way up.
Man and woman need the same reuniting.
Three things have to go chauvinism/reactionary feminism and misogyny .
.But the main one is the idea that man has any authority.
For only the 'author' has the 'author'ity.
And just as in Agatha Christie and Annie Prouix
God is an author beyond gender-who writes women
and male parts evenly and without preferential treatment
that is something mna and woman kind have added in false contest
when it was is and always will of necessity be a concert of mutual symbiotic necessity.

in memory of a friend's loss and my own
may the peace of God that passes all
understanding keep our hearts and minds
in the knowledge and the love of God
and the fellowship of the holy spirit
be among us evermore amen
when i first started keeping a blog
i thought because of my untidy flat
it was a good place to keep notes
when people gave me points of reference
i no longer do this as notebooks
are both more convenient
and cause no concern
sometimes things don't work out
as we all hope
i pray
change will bless
us all as we learn new ways
and retain older methods
pen n paper best
mmmm
amen

A simpler kindlier naive and more loving world
Had a gentle evening last night.
went with two courteous colleagues to see
Laurel and Hardy..thinking about it
the name doesn't suggest stardom ,but
that of an old gents tailors where you get made to measure
any cloth you like in an old fashioned
oak wood shop with mirrors and a smell of cotton
We started out in an atmospheric pub that had these qualities
I tried to remember Michael Macintyre's name.
trying to relate on some freeing level that
the Yorkshire man who said'not for me'
when he saw the comic flounce and bounce onto the stage
was not to his 'entertain me lad' liking.
Mostly I want the gentle family atmosphere
the Laurel n Hardy old suits and ties to fiddle with
because they are silly is a sort of reassuring place of the older
mum n dad.We enjoyed that the lower floor of
Royal Court was pleasing to Jimmy Rae and I
felt like an ocean liner.
I think we are a bit fluish and the darkness
is getting to me too.Dehydrated I think but for water
would have loved another pint last night but denied myself same
as sometimes you know you want the equilibrium
of a gentler sobriety to remain
whilst the conducive flavour of the beer
would have been fab.Just knew a sniffle n a
headiness meant clarity would be preferable lest I sink .
My morning this morning is one of looking around
and whilst being able to see
that the exhibitions and folding and removing of furniture is heading me
towards simplicity I must address the question
how to return to that creative new beginning.
Hence the intentionality of the headin.
simpler kindlier naive and more loving world
one for me to rest in step intio produce from and wander safely in
inclusive ofg those who will be conduvie sharing appreciative and entertaining
By which I mean I with kindly world applause and encouragement might
nurture freedom for their self expression and a growth in my understanding and appreciatipon
of all of life(God's) nuances.
Minimalism.
To see the stripped back box cartoon so well engineered for Laurel and Hardy's 2d yet 3d ness
was fab.The story line at a sort of basic line drawn by say Mel Calman
relationship and boys in a girl's ruled world.The safety were the girlfriend is more of your mum.
Yes the two men like Morecombe and Wise are children like John to his Yoko
What is missing from the relational politic is the reconcialiation of these seeming opposites.The girls need to get out to play too.i.e. with the boys in their escape.Probably the problem with any boy based 'lodge'.
Oh for Honolulu but let the wives be the dancers.
and forget the lodge rules about boys only.
Some day needs to be today.
I may live alone and yes I may find peace but the comfort of that girl I love
well like my faith it is the Eden and simplificartion I truly seek
I love my paintings of Stones that have been rolled into minimal monuments to the flowing moment in the light
I love the doves with their blues shadows showing the sky can land too and the simple materials of zink and wood and lino and mositen paper and colours with which to print.Only the print rooms have so far shown that boys and girl can liev to play affectioantely and meditatively together.But no music and dance.For my lyrics take up far less room that my framed pictures scupltures etc.
So off now to take car for MOT see how today unfolds.Gently I hope.

Creativity and the insidious accumulative-ness of embracing change.
Loved last night.There was a jungle theme.One poem was about town at night being full of people caricatured for their carnal nature and pheromones etc as animals.My book and postcard had elephant and various other zoo animals in it.Simon narrated the real experience in the Palin -like adventure of being chased by orang utan. At Amici a word that I have used in an unrecorded song representing the name of my daughter and that of the girl ( I have missed for some time now) merged.Last night Simon was clever in the shift in his voice to make a very definite aside( like a 'to camera' of Eric Morecambe -a here in the room aware of narrator to listener.Gerry beside me who hadn't remembered his ear n ades thought the articulate nature of Simon's annunciation very special.Heard every word so clearly so well pronounced 'a great reading voice' Oh and the jungle theme again Gerry by request/demand did 'king of the swingers' and given that Simon's tale was that of seeking to escape a mother orangutan with biscuit and banana throwing well.
Any road.Whilst writing songs and decluttering ironing has been building up and up and although large pieces of furniture and equipment have gone out I can see little mounds of things appearing like boils in the recent joyful emptiness 'space I had known for a short while.I am up early and will start drawing out a mural at 9.30.Philip Brown also added to the Amici animal theme.He narrated a poem about an hippopotamus by T.S.Elliot and even 3 a'peth a foot hand that she put two and two together and saw the Slinky's link. Marko introduced me to sleep I think.Wanting to make an essay or book out of last nights revelry has been inspired by the wonderful exciting adventure story that Simon had shared.I want to see the St.Francis film at URC tonight that Micky Schroder has arranged so I must get some rest I will set the alarm for 8 I think.Amen

Inviting change-being accessible to 'power'
What have learned?
What am I learning?
The accessible to power bit comes from
Carlos Castaneda's Journey to Ixtlan
where I found some very interesting ideas
that shows that we live inside a description
some of which like the evolution of
tea strainer n loose leaves to tea bag
can be improved upon.
Being accessible to power
is being accessible to the author
I feel.
i.e the Holy Spirit's life giving purpose full
insights and letting the neural grooves
of bad habits.Ones perhaps that people take as necessary
under the law and trapped in the flesh as St Paul
might say.
Life coaching is one of the things I am learning
to be adjusted by and informed by.I look at the balance wheel of
how the time rolls on through core beliefs
family food shelter friends fulfilment spiritual meaningfulness playfulness.
And this all upon the road of actions relatings of myself to my brother my joining wirral ukelele fanatics for playing bass in church or my seeking to provide an income by providing services murals portraits
seeing david today to go for a mutual shave and hair cut in a place where i can share a meaningful space with him....
I have produced a new page for facebook and found I had by tinkering flirting with an idea produced a fourth page.
Think of a cross or clock face a face G for grow on the forehead at twelve oclock
where Jesus crown of thorns is KING of the Jews.God's goal the salvation of his people Jews and Gentiles
Goals then the R on the right hand thief side the left eye of your face on the right in the mirror or seeming to be on the right when you look at another R for reality with one thief it was doubt yet the other belief respond positively or react negatively the nailed hand Jesus left we see it to the right as He faces us.Rituals are neural grooves and ruts but righteousness from God can change that reality .Our reality includes affirmation change and reason to believe.Then Christ's feet where Options and our mouth are.So twelve oclock was G for goals
three oclock was the Realisation of a more positive affrimative hopeful reasoned rearrangement in alignment with core values reponse.Now though out mouth come options O at six oclock where Mary becomes mother to a new son throough jesus blessings from Jesus on the cross of growth the tree of life we may have the sacrament from the wine and the bread of Genesis.The berries and the grain.now then to the Way the thief that turned to Jesus to ask to be with him in paradise.when what whom will you become well back to the goals of Jesus face containing all these things and His cross too.Be like Him .When asap where here n now how by changing becoming accessible to change through the Holy Spirit. at the centre of Christ's face the breath at the centre of our's too.At the centre of Christ's cross the heart ...us too...the way is upwards.
remembering mother here is your son
son here is your mother
and what you do or do not do for the least of one of these you do or do not do for Jesus God Holy Spirit.
What am I learning well I am learning to throw things away to compartmentalize a little but fluidly.
Whilst another might feel to label me inconsistent with their ways of doing things....God will forgive their 'not knowing' as He has forgiven us and suggested the empowering flux of transforming Love on His terms 'forgiveness which we must not too rigorously feel we can put away in a box or compartmentalize when we will get around to it .It is change it is the cross it is the purposeful grow model of God.The raison de etre of Christ's sacrifice.Scary face.......
So resources then .Not wanting to through Jesus nor the gift of life out with the baptismal water as I clear the flat of debris and seek to get the currency of sociable and contented cleansed home into a living state of 'well' being water of life unclung to back to open sharing system instead of neurotic rut back to the God given gratitude of good habits...cleaning eating fruit walking ironing perhaps learning sharing being ....clean water in bath water out ..good thing in good things out ...manna ate when given....nothing stagnant ...gifts not buried but shared acted upon steeping out risks taken freshness ...so then for my walk around the lake ..breakfast oranges and day with David amen
p.s. i am finding that i do not turn into salt when I view places i used to work and be...i am seeing that they have been salted and are a resource for me to share the sense i make of them i seek to enjoy their loveliness and reveal it .India building...etching....room at Bluecoat....old things refreshed and skills improved upon and enjoyed ...sesnse made of who I was and still am following Christ's celaing up and work each day upon my tune of being...I am being retuned.Now which page of face book...there are four.G JIM Fleming a person like the manyR Jim the artist the need for an income so work may be the w of grow? Becoming oneslef in christ being the main Goal or final major project.Reality of being the heasrtist as an affirmative Christ heart firstintention.R Gifts yet to discover the coaching is the option I coach myself and share the tools on this one and speak of my hearts leanring.then the W proper to be like a child 'PLAYful me' an invitation for other to do so too.Be a child of christ .Doing so now foreve will bring us to who we are being transformed into.Both the slef we were given and the human univserally blessed 'least of one of these''
If you are one who like to tidy up and refresh reorder make lists and use a metronome of clarity to presesnt your ordered thourtght a real gift in my opinion wath the baptismal water s you let it all flow through that no good thing is watsed but please do mirror this back more tidily for it came for a good place ...this place there is no other on world God's amen

Well it sort of worked
The morning started with the imperative to de clutter.
Well I managed to fill a box of books and a satchel of clothes then of to church and
played bass with Micky.Overheard him say he wanted a bag of rags for an earth event for churches together at St Bridgets.So came home and did a ton of ironing and looted the hot tank and filled another bag of clothes sheets etc for Micky to turn into rags.Also washed the bedding and changed the bed.Had a sleep and took the bag to church after a sleep.Also washed the soap trays with a kettle of boiling water.Also used the tube I siphon the fish tank to further suck/siphon the tray and the seal of the washing machine and span and rinsed the washer.So a cleaner more functional machine.SO then practicing what I preached to myself.
John just prayed with me.Bit tearful again about the self employed singlehood I live with.But Colin's sermons this morning and this evening have added such a message of hope that I am so grateful for the support of faith.God only knows where others turn.Have to believe he does amen.
