It was a trip

Literally, physically and figuratively, it was a trip.
I spent ten days with 1500 yogis camping in a forest in France. It is hard to describe how it was, as it changed a lot over the days, but suffice to say it was a trip.
I was camped in a tent in the forest. It is [...]

Here I am

Do not think that is my motive for being here, but I am conscious of a desire to be ahead of myself all the time; wishing I was already in the next section of the current experience instead of being immersed in now. I don’t feel it is my drama alone. I am sure we [...]

Lots of Argh

Life is such fun.
I am reading the Secret and managing to apply the principles to pretty much all areas of my life, but God has a wild sense of humour, and not all my plans, well laid though they may be, have come to fruition.
This is causing me huge amounts of grief. Not in [...]

Dominating so much of all our thoughts right now, it is also one of my favourite things on the planet. Not actually true. I love my children best, but I do love good bread and cold, unsalted butter. There is no competition; if I had to choose it would be kids all the way, trust [...]

I have had a day of domestic bliss. An early run with the dog was fun. I heard or read that it is better to run after a coffee, so I tried it. Wow! What a difference. It was wild. A truly high speed dash around the leafy streets of Camberwell. I have taught [...]

What did someone say?

I think it is a Buddhist saying, and I have quoted it before, but before you speak you should think:
Is it kind? Is it true? Is it necessary?
Can you imagine? It would stop most of us in our tracks. But sometimes things are unkind, but true and necessary, and today my life is coloured by [...]

Oh, God, I wish it was easy

I do, I do. Today, especially, I wish it could be simple, sweet, world peace.
But hey, a loaf of bread in Zimbabwe costs 6 billion dollars, so what do I have to worry about? But then again, life is not like that, is it? If we all endlessly compared our woes to those around [...]
