Fool if you think it's over


Dear Lovers and Fools.

Did the postman deliver a letter long overdue,
the one full of poetry all about you?
Did love come quietly
or with a crash,
as you cooked him his dinner
of sausage and mash?
Did your heart sprout wings and never come back,
or did you throw that rat right out of the sack?
Did you make the best of Lovers leap,
or just rolled over and went back to sleep?

What did you do with Valentines this year?

Love is like bread
It has to be made fresh everyday

Gay Clown?


In May 2007 I went along to see how two up and coming facilitators with Nose to Nose Carol Thompson and Andy Pride would get on with a group of gay men at the Gay Spirituality Group St. James. I was curious to know how two significant aspects of my life, being gay and being a clown might suddenly collide. As thirty men piled in to the small meditation room I wondered how much Inner Clown there might be space left for. The evening was part play, part spiritual investigation and part speed dating. Or so it looked. We laughed alot and people took some playful risks to be up there fiinding their fool. It was a great evening and out of that I asked Carol if we could take this forward. And so Gay Clowning was born..Through that event and the next we met Alfred Hurst of Pace/Loving men who gave us the thumbs up, encouraging us to do a whole lot more. Since June 2007 there have been 5 weekend workshops, more evenings at St James and a presence at Loving men at New Year 2007 . Our thanks to all the men who've come and played with us, many of you who are still coming back! See you in the New Year at LM

Fool for Love



Coming Next Year: a Valentine themed workshop with plenty scope for spoofing the ups and downs of romance. Whether you are in or out of love this weekend workshop takes the sting out of Cupids bow and back in touch with laughter and levity. Through taking ourselves less seriously we will experience the art of wearing ones heart on ones sleeve, making mistakes and living haplessly ever after. Course runs Saturday to Sunday 14/15 February 2009 at a London venue. To know more about clowning check our website. Course with Paul MacDonald and Carol Thompson. paul@nosetonose.info
