Thinking back, I've had my successes and my failures too, both have taught me lessons and should not be ignored. Truth be told, gambles often come out even at best. We make our choices and we abide by them

Words by Neil Watkins: My dad was not one to say I love you. But that did not mean that he didn’t feel it. Love is concentrated and focused appreciation. It is not the saying of those 3 little words that matter. It is the demonstration of love in action. But more than that it’s the feeling behind what drives that action. The action symbolises the feeling. Love should not be something you plan to take nor hope to receive. But something you give without quantifying because you feel lucky just to stand where you do. Love is not something that you give away. In fact it is a feeling that you feel and feeling it is already the benefit of allowing yourself to do so. Love is in fact a personal experience, self fulfilling and self energizing, but it can be felt using different focus points from an object, to a moment, to a person or towards life itself. Because it is a state of feeling, that thanks the universe for the luck that has brought forth this focus point. The more you allow yourself to feel love, the more the universe brings you reasons to feel love. It is self amplifying. No more so is it self amplifying than when love is reciprocated in the eyes of another. When those eyes light up to our presence, the silent knowing that the other person is experiencing the same sense of luck that we feel for this moment is amplifying how lucky we feel exponentially in a feedback loop of joy. Those 3 little words we often so desperately wish to hear do not convey this with any real substance. In fact they detract from it. Because when you reduce such an infinitely powerful moment to a string of words. The words can only be less than the silent expression that is pure. My dad loved anyone and everyone without hardly uttering a word on the matter. Perhaps it took us many years to understand that this form of silent love is not less in substance than one which repeats a cliché phrase. But in fact, it is substantially more. My dad lived as a shining example of how to be a good and kind person. Right thought and right action are born out of a mentality of service to others. When we observe life as a whole and we ask the question “What is the motive of nature, of consciousness?”. We eventually arrive at the answer that is always, progress towards more life…. More growth, more information, more diverse experience, more opportunity for joy, more laughter, more ways to experience love. When you align yourself with right thought and action you become someone whose motivation is aligned with consciousness in creating more life around you in everything you do. When you do things in this way there is a harmony between you and that which underpins reality. You may call this karma. This was a core motivation in my dads nature, to use his life to bring more life to others. To provide people with the service they need in that moment, from a cup of coffee, to a belly full of laughter, to a roof over their head. As many people know, my dad was a great poet. My cousin Adam is now going to read one.
