Great Quote #5!

This is my simple religion. 
There is no need for temples; 
no need for complicated philosophy. 

Our own brain, our own heart is our temple;
 the philosophy is kindness. 

HH THE DALAI LAMA

    The only rule has to be 'Love Thy Neighbour as Thyself'. But how hard!

    Having just been in the UK where I was appalled by the distinct lack of consideration and kindness being shown, I began to wonder if I was out of step with the world.

    Glad to know that kindness still exists.

    I believe, along with my religious beliefs, that practicing random acts of kindness is a wonderful way to go through life. I have no doubt a good soul such as yourself truly does live that philosophy, not just give it the lip service :-)

    I do try to do this, but I think that a lot of people are too stressed out in their lives to follow suit these days. It's good to have a gentle reminder.

    Holy, holy, holy, indeed, my sweet!

    Fabulous... I am barking mad and knackered to boot - My first full week at work this week, and it's not even Friday, and I am living on coffee, diet Coke, and foods I oughtn't to!

    I hope you are fine and good and fabulous, my dear friend...

    Thank you so for this beauty... xox

Thanks for stopping by!

Take the weight of your feet, draw up a chair and pour yourself a cuppa. Leave your troubles at the door and together we shall ride out the storms.

Loneliness...

is next to god awfulness. l enjoyed my London trip on so many levels. Though particularly because I had time to suit myself, time away from pressure of work, time away from the kids, all types of timetables. Time away from decision making, which I abhor with a passion! Sometimes, though thankfully not often when l am alone. Sitting in a coffee shop. Or in line in the bank or supermarket. Waiting in the car in line for the car park. Usually alone waiting. I get the heebee jeebee's. In plain speak a panic or anxiety attack. It comes in the form of a butterfly fluttering in my chest, a screaming in my head. Silent screaming. But I feel the noise. White noise. That drives darkness through the day like a knife through butter. It lasts but a few moments, but a dry fear stays a while. Remaining hidden amongst the layers of feelings and experiences we call life. Whilst walking alone through the streets of London, it lurked. Unacknowledged. Invisible. Whilst feeling the beat of the city...

Monochrome Monday hosted by Aileni As it is very frosty and cold I am driving to work, shameful, yes, as its only 1.75 miles uphill down hill in nose to tail traffic. I park in the nearest car park, courtesy of the City Council, a perk of the job. Thank you very much. And this is what l see on my short walk from car park to work! silhouette of castle gate looking back over my shoulder where l have walked from the very ineffectual Millennium Bridge this is the entrance to the underpass, which takes us under the dual carriageway that separates the Castle from the city, the Museum and Cathedral this is the underpass decorated with old local industrial machinery and the Cursing Stone produced for the Millennium and inscribed with a centuries old curse it receives the wrath of locals as it is considered the cause of all our recent ills, Foot & mouth and the Floods the marble floor containing prominent local and Reiver's name the Whispering Wall, solid glass brick, come alive with...
