Snow on the Isle of Wight at this time of year, or any other time for that matter, is an unlikely event. This morning we had more than a dusting however it didn’t stay long. My five week stay here ends tomorrow, I could have stayed longer.

The picture below was taken yesterday in South Edmonton, Alberta Canada by a congregation member of the meditation group there. If I’m not mistaken I’m seeing snatches of Whyte Avenue between the snow flakes. Thanks to Mike.

If all goes well with my visa application and interview at the US Embassy in London on Tuesday I might be walking on Whyte in a few weeks time. Or later if the matter is delayed. It will be great to see old friends in Canada and the U.S.A.
I hear from a good Sangha friend that Tuesday is an auspicious date, something to do with the number eight. Apparently it’s a very propitious day to get married in the Chinese calendar. All temples, churches are fully booked a year in advance in Singapore.
I’m so glad to hear you’re coming for a visit. Looking forward to seeing you again.

…it will be good to see you and others of the congregation in Edmonton. I’m touched that a few of you keep reading this blog.
