Day 150 - Holiday
8/20/2020
HOLIDAY
My mind is busy running over
all of the current activities.
It’s as if I’m living in them
rather than just completing them
and moving on.
I seem to want to hold
it all in my head and
replay the elements over and over again.
Where I did well
or where I messed up.
I shift down a gear
and leave all the daily activity to one side.
Travelling slower, I can plan and organise.
There is more space for thinking here.
It is quieter.
And then I go even slower
and bring...

ENERGY SUPPLIER
Some days I waken up
full of energy,
ready to get moving and
excited about the day ahead.
Some days I waken up
lacklustre, weary,
struggling to get going
to face the tasks ahead.
Today is an energy day
just like yesterday!
I must be on a roll.
It’s so good to be alive.
I must capitalise on this potential.
I have to get it all done.
For tomorrow, who knows,
I could be in low power mode.
These are not good days or bad days
for every day is a good day.
It’s...

WEATHER FORECAST
I look at the early morning sky.
It is a blank canvas.
By lunchtime, I will have filled in
half of this picture.
By tonight, it will all be complete.
And what will this picture be?
Whether or not it will be the picture I planned
waits to be seen.

RAT RACE
We have inherited a world
where jobs and work
are allocated to people.
Employers decide on the tasks
that need to be done and
carve up the activity.
It’s an out-dated economic model
where we are paid to do what we are told.
And where many people have no jobs.
With technology we can now
create work in different ways,
driven by what really matters.
We can link up with others
and collaborate on projects
that are important to us as individuals.
We can take...

CALL TO PRAYER
The church clock in our little village
chimes at 3 o’clock as I cut the grass.
It’s my call to prayer
and I pause for a moment.
At 4 o’clock we repeat the process.
It seems like a fitting end point,
working to God’s time.
Time for thanks and a cold beer.

SHARING ECONOMY
I sit on Platform 2
in the shade, on a sunny August day
with a cup of tea and
some 'oats and honey' crunchy biscuits.
Three pigeons keep me company
and make sure that we leave nothing behind.

APPOINTMENT REMINDER
In the middle of the night
when all is so dark and empty
there is nothing for me to see or do.
My mind shoots me back to that
dreaded place I knew well, when I was 17.
Fearing death and my non-existence.
These momentary incisions literally
shake me as I am overwhelmed
by some uncontrollable force.
The panic attack as they named it,
has returned tonight.
It’s terrifying.
Back then, I had
my whole life before me.
I could rationalise these moments.
Now, and...

THE ZONE
‘You have to be in the zone.’ she said.
‘You have to focus your mind,
be in a different place and
bring all to bear
on the task.’
And then she smiled and said
‘And from here you can find the real zone,
which is beyond all tasks and
beyond all thinking,
where no zone can be.’

THINKING SKILLS
If we waken up
and then just pick up
where we left off yesterday,
we are doing more
of what we have already done.
This is cumulative thinking.
If we waken up
and then something unexpected
hits us, we have to reassess everything.
Our day is turned upside-down
as we work out what to do next.
This is reactive thinking.
If we waken up
and then choose to begin
something new or different today,
we are creating a fresh opportunity.
We are uncovering our new...

FIRST RESPONDER
When tragedy strikes around the world
we see images of destruction and death.
There’s pain and anguish on young faces.
It’s easy to feel helpless.
But there are six key things we can do
in these moments.
We can be with the families
not just as onlookers but in our thoughts.
We can feel and share some of their pain.
We can send our message of love right now.
Personal and direct. We can offer ourselves
and all that we are to support them.
We can give money...

OUTSOURCING
Don’t do everything yourself.
Share your dream with the world.
Collaborate with others.
Reach out and build your team.
For when we don’t try to do everything,
we can do anything.
Don’t do everything yourself.
Create projects and initiatives.
Let others work with you.
Set out the plan and make it happen.
For when we let it all go,
we will all do everything.

HOME SECURITY
I sat patiently
on the beach,
not moving.
I sat there for hours.
And then I felt
a different sensation
as the tide
slowly came in.
No waves, no noise.
Quietly and gently
the sea lifted me
off the stones.
I swayed left and right,
forwards and backwards,
for what seemed like a lifetime.
Not knowing what to do.
And still the tide came in.
It started to move me outwards,
leading me further
from my place of safety.
I drifted away
on an uncharted journey.
Happy...

RE-CYCLING
The priority each day

It is from here that we can

re-create all that we do and
re-focus on all that we will become.

LIQUIDITY
We become so busy in life
doing all we should and
getting on with everything,
that it is easy to forget to look closely
and to assess it all.
This is more than
thinking about where we are
or planning our future.
It’s about something internal
beyond all our actions.
It’s about going closer
towards the essence of life itself.
Being part of the liquid of life
flowing through all of us.
As one.

INWARD MARKETING
True Marketing is an Inward
rather than an Outward process.
Outward marketing means
that we can spend our lives
chasing customers and jobs,
sourcing products or looking for work.
Repeating this again and again.
Just like we are told we need to do.
Inward marketing means
that we are personally driven.
We look inwards to our core skills,
beliefs, gifts, passions and experience.
We work out who and what we are.
And then we have exactly
what the world is...

HEADMASTER
I am still in the office at home.
I am still at work.
My head is full of stuff.
The number of things to do
seems to be getting longer, not shorter.
For as soon as I cross something off the list
another two things appear needing to be done.
My brain and my whole self are consumed
and controlled by this list
of what needs to be done.
I can’t just walk away from it
for it all needs to be sorted.
And who else will do it, if I don’t?
If this day was twice as long, I...
