hey, as you can well imagine i am in fucking bits here
apologies for the profanities but please excuse and try to read past them its the way we talk here in this part of the world
and i just buried me mother.... so be brave and read on
i want to talk of leadership
who we follow
today i reluctantly found myself in the position of leading because that was the role take it or leave it.
i could have left it
but i am too curious and needy to pass the opportunity by
today is a day i have dreaded and tried to ignore
tough shit
get on and deal with it is all my faith allowed me
i am thankful for that in then aftermath
i spoke with brilliant words from a brilliant book...... benedictus by john odonohue
of mother
of grief
the biggest gig of my life
the priest was apathetic he did not know my mother... he got her name wrong from the outset
i cried out and put him straight J.O.A.N.
and took a lead and did not want this role
i was thanked by family and friends alike afterwards for bringing some real into the event
death is not an event says john o'd
not for yourself says i
for others it is massive
i never wished for this day
i am thankful i was in the company of angels and wise words of those gone before
and friends who hold you just as you are about to fall
god bless them all xxx
i drink from the fountain
it is alcohol laced
and welcome
water into wine
rejoice in the life that produced me
and the people i encounter along the road less travelled
you are my guiding lights
shine on
