Good day my brothers and sisters. An apex is the the peak. Well maybe we are in someways at the peak in our being. Yet how we got where we are now can for some of us go the other way. What do I mean by that? Well, I had two parents, four grandparents, eight great grand parents and so on, until probably me and you reading this are related. Now from my little peak I can look out and see that I have two sons, one or both of whom may survive their adolescence, grow up and have children themselves. Well obviously not themselves, but with women. And so it can go the other way. I have two children and I may eventually have grandchildren, great grandchildren and so on and on.
Where does it end, ay?
O it will end.
As will this
Blog
yep
Just got to say, go in peace my brothers and sisters and know that you are loved. I don't know how long it will be until my camera is repaired and I can share pictures that I take with you. Thats not as important to me as having to accept I cant share my next meal with a person who is starving to death. I can give them a prayer and will leave you now to spend some time with my Father doing this.
Bye for now, your brother Peter

Saturday and I had a mental block. Had to ask my son how to spell saturday.
My son who is going to be a teenager in July, has been in practise for awhile. Dont ask my what he is in practice, but perhaps its just being a good chap and he is doing a good job. Oh yes, I got it. He is already acting like a teenager. Yep, and his brother who is a year younger, has been developing for over a year as a business person. Two good boys I have got.
I have just taken four loves of bread just baked out of the oven. A day late with the baking, but better late than never.
CLOSE YOUR MOUTH WHEN YOU CHEW. Good grief, now he just said - before going and cutting another slice - that's the best bread Ive ever tasted in my life. O goodness my, what a dilemma. When I bake, I usually give his gran a loaf and take a loaf to church to give to father Richard.
Okey dokey. He can take the rest of that loaf home and that will still leave me with a loaf. Thought I usually get more than four loaves, but obviously not.
It could be coincidence, but I did pray before making it that it would turn out good. I get fresh yeast from the baker in Sainsburys, as its a lot cheaper than buying the dried yeast and also I think its got to be better. When we lived in the Philippines my sons mum made lovely shackoy. They`re a bit like our English donuts but are shaped like sausage with the ends twisted together. I miss some of the food we had out there. Like the unripe mango. We would cut bits of and dip it in salt and something else. Good grief, I cant be expected to remember everything. Only joking, but I do miss some of the food we often had the six years I lived in the Pillippines. So yes you can buy avocado pears here in the UK, but they dont taste to me a good as the ones we would be able to pick right of the tree up at our retreat up the mountain. I dont miss the negative things, or do I? Its not like we get to choose one without the other. I suppose we can choose to see it all as nessesary. We cant have electricity with out them both and its the same with magnetisum. I guess the thing is for everything to be in balence.
Ive got my son going up and down the stairs outside our flat with a rucksack with a bag of sand in it. He just tenth time. I think he has had enough of that for today, so I need to go over the meadow with him and Buster.
Q. How can you drop a raw egg onto a concrete floor without breaking it?
A. Concrete floors are very hard to crack.
Q. If it took eight men ten hours to build a wall, how long would it take four men to build it?
A. No time at all it is already built.

Fish on Friday and dont go looking for a Guru, just stay still awhile.
Good day my brothers and sisters. Blessings be upon you. I had a great art therapy session yeaterday with the most exellant forensic art therapist, Kate Rothwell.
After about two years of sessions - which were self funded - we agreed that I am like a fledgling shaking its wings in anticipation of flying off into the big adventurous world. (I see in the notebook, Kate wrote down, its taken 2yrs & 8mths of hard work, committment & solid effort in creating this theraputic/working relationship together.
Kate thinks that it would be a good idea for me to consider looking into moving into a studio, where its set up with some support. So I have emailed studioupstairs.org and am waiting for a reply. That is as they say in the out tray.
I reckon that over the next month or two, I shall have the finances to pay Dave, the Guy who made my website to change a couple of galleries and put a lot of new work on.

`Yes, but not a dead one`. Hakuin replied.

Okay, my brothers and sisters, I must be getting on in this day and moving on the way. So I shall pray you all have a good weekend and leave you with this;

there is no going.

there is no knowing.

Bye for now, your brother Peter
Hopefully in the next month or two I shall have the finances to pay Dave, the guy who made this website up, to take off a gallery or two and put up one or two new ones.
How far can I GO? How far will you go? Not only nike goes for it. You are the differance.

Hi, its Thursday its 6.50am and Buster has been over the park. Time to blog.
Good day. I have just sneezed which doesnt worry me at all. It may have done a few centuries ago when it was a sign of immanent death. But bless me anyway, if you will be so kind. God knows I need all the blessings I can get.
Above is a photo of a section of a piece of art which is unfinished. It was broken, like me. Hmm, I was going to say that unlike me the pressure which broke this mirror came from within me, transferred through to tool I was using and was too much. The work became disstressed and broke. Maybe that was like me. The brake became a good thing, asa it allowed the two bits of a whole to be moved a little apart and the gap to be aknowledged and maniputated. Also it was me who decided the direction.
Is this a million miles away from me having a person toss some stones in the air and the us disscusing the meaning of how they fell in relationship to their life? No/perhaps, yes. Are they the only options?
Im sometimes getting over a hundred emails a day to my private account, from people who want me, and others to pray for them. I was going to say that some are more serious than others. `My boyfriend is looking at the other girls who are flirting with him, pray he will get me pregnant and want only me.` then `My husband is sick and cannot go to work. If I go out looking for work I may get raped by the soldiers. I need food for my children. Please pray for God to help us.` I realize that its not for me to judge. If I look into their hearts with Gods eyes I may find they are both feeling the same amount of desperation and anquish. Pain is pain.
I go and pay an art therapist, not only to help me uncover any pain and anguish, or even fear thats holding me back from having a better life, because that will be good for me. What can appear selfish is sometimes a bigger sacrifice for the good of others. My sons and also strangers will benefit from me uncovering the fears that hold me back from being a more wholesome person. As they did in the past, before my wife took her life, leaving my in sorrow with a brain injury.
Some dads may be astute and mentally able to recall from memory two hundred an fifty three clients phone numbers and what their favourite drink is, but never remember to tell their sons how much they love them and why. Okay I forget at times how though they present themselves to the world as tough little guys, they are still growing and have a fragility. I thank God. Feeling sorry for the children in the world who have been broken by war, or abandonment. So I got back to the art `peace`. A broken mirror. What would you hope to look through and see after scraping so much away. On the other hand would looking in the mirror and see so little reflected help you to let go of some aspect of negative yourself, or selfish desire.
People only see what they are prepared to see. Ralph Waldo Emerson
But it could have been me.
I am a contender, as are you. Infact when we come to gether/to gather/together we will be the greatest team the universe has every known. note. all team members must have artistic licence.
Have a great day my brothers and sisters. Its 7. 30 am , still dark, but the birds are awaking.
Your brother, Peter.
Ps If you cant get an artistic licence locally contact me theartispgk@talktalk.net and I will send you details of how to purchase and the requirements. Love ya
Wednesday and its wet here and overcast and the weather outside is gloomy also. ONLY JOKING
Good day my brothers and sisters . Actually the weather is as said above, but wait; although its twenty to eleven in the morning I have switched the light on and brightened it up.
I just done a painting in my art therapy book which is is colourful and was painted with a brush and my finger. All little boys should be told, one can do more than pick your nose with a finger. Not a good idea if you are going to put it in a pudding. Swiftly moving on, before I lose you. One swallow does not the summer make and its not even spring yet. Oh yes, that's it, Id love to have a swallow of coffee, but the coffee ran out on me yesterday. It didn't actually run out on me as it didn't know I exist. Also if it did it may think its a worthy thing to get boiled in water for me to enjoy. I would do that for coffee. Not on your nelly.
Do you know I exist? I know that I do as every time I visit a certain site, it wont let me in until I type in letters and a number or two that are in different types and sizes, all over the place. So either I am human, as I get it right ( like also I could have typed `wright, or write or (opposite to left) and you other humans; and intelligent off worlders would have gotten what I meant even with intentional or unintentional spelling mistakes), or I am not at least a basic computer program. Nope, I am an extraordinary artist who on this cold day is desperate for a shag carpet to lay myself down on. Get in tune with the side of me that is not musical. Sometimes going on a stream of consciousness writing leads one to think of a thing one wouldn't have got to the usual route. Saying that, Buster my German Shepard just went barking madly as the postman put a letter through the door. Yep, it wasnt a letter from the unkown woman who is going have me in tears laughing and saying how great it would be if we met, and isnt it amazing as she didnt even have the adress! (yes, well see below for E option) Thank goodness I have a letter box, or that would be a hassle.
What don't we have that if we did would make life easier. Please send any surreal/normal ideas to me, at theartistpgk@talktalk.net they may get encorperated into the blog.
And finally and OM and OM
One aspect of Love can be defined as "Do not be that which stops other people being their real selves, or, more catchily, "Be so others can be." So be good my brothers and sisters and know that you are loved.
Your brother and watchman,
Peter G Kimble
Ps I dont know if I told you, but I saw Billy Childish say in an interiew that he stopped drinking. I know it was for a good reason, but cant recall. It made me think how Better I am for not drinking. Also though how heavy things can get when I have had a drink, like the time some guys tried to kill me in the Philippines. That sort of thing can happen if one has had a drink and goes to the wrong bar in the wrong side of the city. Hmm, If one hasnt had a drink and one tries to go into the wrong Christian church I expect it would be hard to find one. Thats not that theres not one I couldnt be frowned upon, just not hit over the head with a rock and stabbed! My guardian angel used to have its work cut out for it, God bless it!
Thats it I am really off.

Some lighthearted stuff to share and make the journey lighter.
Welcome my brothers and sisters to a new day. How about together we give thanks that we have it by embracing it completely. My love goes out to you all.
Nowadays, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it proberbly isn`t a duck at all, but only something someone wants you to believe is a duck. Maybe thats why they`re called decoys.
Christopher Toussaint
God, grant me patience, NOW!
God wants spiritual fruits, not religious nuts.
If you cant swim, dont blame the water.
P.G.Kimble
I no longer despair at being alone. I can now rejoice at being alone with God.

Laughter is a smile with the volume turned up.
Hmmm above line was a bit humourous, how about below? You decide.
... A man walked into a bar and said, "Ouch."
*** A termite walked into a bar and said, "where`s the bar tender?"
If a tree falls in the woods and there is no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?
If a man speaks and there`s no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?
God grant me chastity, but not now.
Saint Augustine. (well that one suprised me. Maybe it goes to show that saints can have a sense of humour!) ttfn my brothers and sisters.

Good day and may you all know that you are loved.
Because one of my paths on this spiritual journey - in this life - I am undertaking, means letting of ego, I do not want to talk too much in my blogs about selfish desires, as these I try to get rid of.
Now if I believe, which I do if what me and millions of others said in churches on Sunday, that we are all part of one body, then our brother Lao Tzu is not only one of us, but part of the realisation that leads to enlightenment.
On gratitude our brother says: Be content with what you have: rejoice in the way things are. When you realise there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.
Letting go
By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try the world is beyond the winning.
Meditation
To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.
*****************************
Now my brothers and sisters, if you accept that we are all part of one body, which we can call the universe, or `one song`, then you will believe me when I say that I love you. Yesterday in church did I not take communion - the body and blood of Jesus - along with millions of others around this planet. I did. And in doing I showed my allegiance to all that was, all that is and all that will be!
Awareness.
The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.
Going with the flow a good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.
Patience and compassion.
I have just three things to teach; simplicity, patience, compassion. These are your greatest treasures.
Fearlessness.
If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot ahieve.
Silence.
Silence is a source of great strength.
Effortless.
An integral being knows without going, sees without looking, and accomplishes without doing.
Thoughts.
If you correct your mind, the rest of your life will fall into place.
Lao Tzu on Enlightenment.
There are many paths to enlightenment. Be sure to take one with heart.
At the centre of your being you have the answer, you know who you are and you know what you want.
William James
Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.
Now listen to my brothers and sisters. The above was written goodness how long ago. Yet I want to say that only recently, physosists ( I dont think thats the right spelling, but the spell check doesnt highlite it! ) Nope, thats it, the spellcheck is at this moment not working, so to heck with it. I am an artist and oh yes a braininjured one so had better get back to the point, okay lets say scientists are saying that on a quantum level matter acts in a way one expects it to. Dont ask me how this gets me to my last blog for today, as if its not apparent to you, then no amount of explaining will make you aware!
C S Lewis. "I belive in Christianity as I belive in the rising sun; not because I see it, but by it I can see all else."
Yep, okay, for a minute I wasnt sure, but yes I get it.
Tat ta my brothers and sisters. Have a good day and remember that if any one of you wants to share anything with me, then contact me at theartistpgk@talktalk.net
