Quote: What does it mean to love?

What does it mean to love?

Lifting torment with a smile. Wanting to fill a book with it, a book so big there aren’t enough pages in the world to hold it while caught in a web of inexpressibility.  Kindly challenging, fiercely defending. Offering patience and reassurance as a cup to drink from. Accepting the agony of separation, letting the other be free, accepting everything.

 

Author unknown. I found this in a tiny little file on my desktop, I was looking for something else, Of course I was. I’ve googled it relentlessly and nothing came up. Perhaps I wrote it in a moment of enlightenment, who knows?

Friday February 15th 7-10pm

Residents of Cressingham Gardens and friends will be getting together for Love Cressingham, because we love our estate, we love our homes, we love our community and we are still here after seven years of fighting regen! Regen = demolition of 306 homes. It’s far from over. I’ll be the go to on the night I guess, head cook and bottle washer without the cooking. Hope you like our flyer.

Diary January 2019

Suddenly springing back to live, I blame the blood moon, after a time briefly touching the dark night and so to action…

Tuesday January 22nd 

Joining Poets on the Picket Line bringing verse and solidarity at the Ministry of Justice where receptionists, security guards and cleaners at the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), represented by United Voices of the World (UVW) and support staff at the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), represented by Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union, will walk out together on strike demanding the London Living Wage of £10.55 per hour, plus parity of sick pay and annual leave allowance with civil servants.

This is the first co-ordinated strike between a TUC and a non-TUC union and the first coordinated strike between outsourced workers in government departments.

8.00am-2.00pm 102 Petty France, Westminster, London SW1H 9AJ Full details   https://www.facebook.com/events/374959459944404/

Sunday 27th January

Checkin’ in with Poetic Justice, which means going north of the river but then how bad can that be in the days of a night tube

Kicking off 2019 returning to The Others in Stoke Newington for a night full of the powerful, thought provoking and expansive spoken word, hip hop and live music performed by some very talented wordsmiths.

Material expressed through the night is usually a mixture of activism, spirituality, awareness raising, philosophy, conspiracy “theories”, positive and profound, self/society development and all that stuff.

Poetic Justice events are a drop off point for donations of unwanted clothes and food parcels that will find their way to the homeless via Streets Kitchen.

The Others
