I met some people from a Spanish Mental Health organisation and I have the possibility of arranging a connection with my organisation in Derby. The fiesta had many highlights. Firstly I have to mention Cartier Bresson exhibition. Astonishing photography ! Truly astonishing. I will scan some of his stuff in fairly soon and litter it about this web site. The luminosity of the River Forth at Sunset through portobello. The city has much to commend it and for me, it feels as if I am returning home</p> <p> <small> <a href="http://through_the_fire_i_come.blog.co.uk/2005/08/30/title~152782/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:throughthefireicome.blog.co.uk,2005-08-20:/2005/08/21/saturday_10/Toots2005-08-21T00:19:42+02:002005-08-21T00:19:42+02:00 <p>Well the A level results came through which much joy. I spend much of my time focussed on a future which sees me as some traveller fit but middle aged traipsing around a number of spanish speaking countries whilst now I neglect to attend to the present. Is there a way around this or alternatively could someone present me with a vision on the way that life should be led ? </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://through_the_fire_i_come.blog.co.uk/2005/08/21/saturday_10/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:throughthefireicome.blog.co.uk,2005-08-17:/2005/08/17/title_18438/Toots2005-08-17T23:27:27+02:002005-08-17T23:27:27+02:00 <p>Today's training was in the textbook english town of Cromford-the weather was hot but the crowd was nice.

I have a meeting about personality disorder and a training session at an absolutely exquisite location deep in Derbyshire. Each of these sessions opens my eyes to new and interesting facets about the way people live their lives.

This is not the same as teaching an academic subject, car maintenance or plumbing but involves trying to reassure workers about something which is essentially unknowable which is the mind, the soul whatever we choose to call it.
