Expression – Susan Boyle

Did you see this wonderful woman showing us all that it’s not looks that matter? Amazing.

Thanks to Angie for sending in the link to this video. Sorry if you are not able to watch this amazing woman sing her heart out on a British talent show earlier this month. She is an inspiration…

Giving Expression

Written one afternoon
by a chap on the Ten Precepts Meeting retreat
by a fellow Jade Mountains reader
by the Sange Shrine
from the heart.

The house is empty now, they have all gone away.

Words don’t say enough
Thank you with all my heart

From a card received to-day. Thank you (all) for your bright company, inspiration and encouragement.

The Sunday Cat

Portobello Priory, Edinburgh, on a Sunday morning. A few of us are gathered, drinking tea before the first meditation period of the day. A light refreshing sea breeze catches the curtain. Oh look, there’s the Sunday Cat!

Housekeeping

Just in case those of you who return here regularly are wondering what’s happening as there has been an unusually long gap since the last posting, I can assure you that all is well. I’ve been otherwise directed, one way and another, and now we are in the middle of the Ten Precepts Meeting with many guests here for the week.

Don’t Know

The stream of thoughts, in swirling tangles
Settle down, to a gentle state of quiet
And in that space, comes realisation.

And this is the realisation.
Thanks Puerhan.

I’ll be back to Throssel tomorrow, and hopefully back to making postings here.
