feelings from a traveller along life's pathways

Location: Watford, United Kingdom

I've travelled; I've lived here and there; always searching for something. And yet perhaps the one discovery of recent years has been the realisation that I have a strong clear voice inside. I listen so much to so many voices, some my own - despairing, angry, frustrated, scared. And I want to achieve so much! But what I'd really like is to reach out to you, call you to listen to your voice. And then who knows what might happen in this crazy world of ours. And I'd like to live on in your thoughts. Share what we have and who we are; what else can we do? We all have such strength and beauty and love - we just have to find the courage to show it - and to share it. Because that's where hope comes from. That's how I can face the future.

conventioning and other stuff

The last couple of weeks have been busy. Starting a new business venture. Attending the annual convention of barbershop singers. Just getting on with stuff.

And what I notice is that it all works best when I'm open to including people around me. When I allow others their expression - just as I want to be given the chance to express myself.

The convention was spectacular - we came 10th out of 26 competing choruses - much better than we feared. And the main guests were the Ambassadors of Harmony from St Louis, Missouri - 140 singers in great harmony - and all seemed to be gentle, friendly, open people.

The new business? Well, we got a bunch of sales in the first evening of putting our wares on show (a series of photos that two of us had taken).

The stuff? Training courses running on; gentle exploration - the usual voyage through doubt and confusion to a place where the light of understanding flickers into being. And yesterday an invitation to join in other work; nice!

Simon
