    Funny old game

    Manchester City F.C. used to play such an important part in my life, but when I lost my memory, the part they played was over. 
    Today I stand in the distance, see them triumphant and smile.

    Dancing with fear

    Dancing with fear

    Fear is said to be 'False Evidence Appearing Real' but it certainly feels real enough sometimes!  I've had fear of failure and even fear of succeeding but this past couple of weeks it's been the fear of asking.  To the question 'How do we get past fear?' I still don't have an answer but I'm following the advice of someone dear to my heart.  She once told me to 'lean in' so I'm leaning, going towards it and am getting ready to ask it to dance.

Sound Healer. Truth Speaker.

Every minute of the wait for these words to emerge from the Poet and Songman was time well spent.
The melody in your voice and the truth in your words I know will reach far and wide.
Thank you David for your wisdom and courage. X

Meaings Matter - they really do

What a privilege to hear that gentle voice with such power and fortitude expressing the sound of a heart awakened, a soul alive and a Man with a mission, living on purpose - thank you David for your courage and your wisdom... it is always a choice - that moent when one can crumble and involute or choose to find a meaning= that is evolutionary - that moment of conscious choice in the midst of destruction to see the creation at play - the birth of true wisdom - very much looking forward to more.
