When's the next one? Not until 29th. Then there's one. On the 29th.
We explored 'Gift' a little last night. What is a gift... giving... life, living... a box with a present, or the here now pre(-)sent moment all there is, time and space shared, together, Consciousness or attention given... honesty with yourself and others the greatest gift of all perhaps... greater than a societally directed, accepted, decided compulsory knee-jerk 'it's Christmas tomorrow, fuck, I've gotta get that person a present'...
Next poetry session IS... THURSDAY 29TH AUGUST. Weather permitting, check this space. Meets continuing weekly from then.
Keep the words flowing... remembering where they came from... and what they're pointing to...
...and get that straight, in you.
Shining through!

Mystical is what it is...
Come along... it's not scary, we're friendly. It's natural and human to feel self-conscious, self-aware, self-doubting... all the hang ups of self that stop us from being who we know we really are. Give yourself the gift of breaking through what holds you back... just for that moment it takes for you to walk up, to see, to say hello, to sit down and let yourself...
It's a small group, typically 3 or 4 of us... and there's no comparing better or worse... because how can there be. How can you be better than me, or me better than you? You are you and I am me and there is no comparison because there can't be. It's impossible. And we're all the same anyway.
Theme just gone was impromptu '''civilised''' and '''savage''' (week before that was 'Light, false light, and darkness 'good' and 'bad'')... exploring the savagery of civilisation, its dryness and parchedness of thirst, and the connectedness of the Life that has been demonised in times gone by and even today... as we break through the bullshit, return to ourselves, and let our categories dissolve into the imagination they came from...
So we explored that... and that is just one angle of what we explored... no formula, no 'right' or 'wrong' perspective... just letting the writing flow, getting out of the head, out of the way and onto the page as much as possible...
Next week... who knows what the theme will be... but it will be relevant, because whatever it is, we make it relevant.
