Alex is 11

Here he is on the climbing wall at Clip and Climb, one of his Birthday events. The sleep over established a new record, still chatter at 3.00am in the morning, after 4 movies had been watched. Alex had a sleep in the afternoon, which is also unprecedented...

Poems - Get off the Concrete

At the recent Get off the Concrete, I did a poetry workshop.
The first exercise was to look into another Man's eye for 5 minutes, while he did the same, and then write for 5 minutes, without talking. I paired up with Shannon, a great guy who I have done service teams with, and this is what came...

Above the eyes lie
The lines of frown.
The wonderous colour
permeates the eyeballs.
I can see myself
through your colours and the way you soften.
Joy seen

Truth is let in through
the windows in your head.

I feel the past etched on your forehead
I see the man within
truth truth truth
Allowed an expression

Blinking, the voice of the eyes close
ever so slight
Lubricating the path of messages to the heart
pumping pumping pumping
blood

Flickers back and forth
truth in movement, energy shifting
from one eye to another
No sound, but birds sing there


Then we had to reflect on the poem we had written for 5 minutes, and write for another 5 minutes, this is what came...


Man Man Man kind
Soft green
Heart beats in one big chest
A treasure trove
of love, love, love

What of love, I see you say
I hear a voice seeking
Oneness, truth
Ones truth

Take the path,
breathe into it
