Returning from Work....

2 weeks of a difficult work life have me wondering about balance again. This must be a mythical term.

Preparation, Time pressure, Long hours, Weekend working... Leads to Dissatisfaction, Un-fulfilment, Disappointment... When all does not proceed according to plan.


But wait!

There is value in salvage

I mustn't give up


Taking time in Corfe Castle, which I have passed dozens of times on my way to Swanage in the last two years, quickly brings some equilibrium. How thankful I am to have taken this opportunity to enjoy this lovely Dorest village.

Cat Mint

A stranger in my garden, is sunning herself with some wonderful rays of autumn sunshine. Should I wonder where you came from? All is well in my realm at this moment! Shame about the mint though.

Returning from Retreat

Does the world make any more sense after my time at Dhanakosa?
No, but I'm happier to give up the searching after much time spent...

Reflecting on...

Impermanence
Insubstantially
Unsatisfactoriness


Turning toward, and opening up
to the inherent sadness of life -
This is the path to joy and contentment!!





See things with fresh eyes
As if for the first time.
See the world as it really is:-
A place of continuing miracles.

Breath of Fresh Ayr

Just another town centre? Somehow I think not - what is it about Scotland I love? Taking a well deserved time out to recharge, refresh, and regather all the elements of my fragmented self. I'm looking forward to inspecting them in detail on my week long retreat which starts tomorrow.
