Over the week-end I'll be off grid. That's no postings, no email, no driving - just walking. And I'll be crossing roads well under the 30 mph speed limit set for Toads!

Toad Crossing point, Southern Lake District

I'll be back on Monday; with photographs.

Rev. Berwyn was the celebrant (for the Healing Buddha Festival Ceremony). He gave the following dedication at the start of the ceremony:

Bhaisajyagaguru Tathagata, the master of healing, vows to be like a radiant jewel of lapis lazuli, illuminating the lives of all those in the darkness of suffering. What is this bright Jewel? Although it is most precious, we need never fear losing it. Although we cannot own it, there is nothing more intimate.
