Sitting quietly

in my car

Drinking coffee

Cars hiss in the distance

Nothing to be done

Good morning.

Good afternoon.

So apparently Apple is a successful international technology company. And it also appears that their iCloud Hide My Email alias service is completely non-functional.

Good morning.

Good afternoon.

Making the most of the last of the glorious weather today before the traditional bank holiday inclemency hits.

“I believe in kindness. Also in mischief. Also in singing, especially when singing is not necessarily prescribed.”

“Living itself means nothing other than being questioned; our whole act of being is nothing more than responding to — of being responsible toward — life.

Allium out, loud and proud.

Good morning. It’s been raining.

What is here, now?

Nothing less than your whole life.

Everything that could possibly be happening for you is right here, right now.

Nothing left out. Everything included.

This is it. This is always it.

Good afternoon.

Does contemplation have a place in the world?

”We don’t need more teachers, we need more practitioners, and importantly, we need more journalists of the inner landscape, and more spiritual friends, companions and guides.”

I like the idea of ‘journalists of the inner landscape’.

”The universe is wider than our views of it.”
