Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in Eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity.
Voltaire
I found this on Kate’s site, learn about the galaxy in a short time.
I was watching a program the other day that was supposed to be set in the 60s and they were playing Black Sabbaths Paranoid, and as we all know that was not released until 1970, ooooh time travel, I have also watched the most beauitfull film called Wings of Desire, it left me with a smile on my face and a tear in my eye.
Just finished reading The Wee Free men by Terry Pratchett, what can I say it’s Terry enough said, and Ben in the World by Doris Lessing, it’s the follow up to The fifth Child, Ben finds out what he is, I didn’t think this book was half as good as the first one, it all seemed a little far fetched.
The government want to cap the amount of benefits that can be claimed by families, and the cap is to be set at £26,000 a year, I have never earned that much and some people are up in arms because they think people living on benefit should have more. One minster was saying that some families will have to move out of their homes and move into somewhere they can afford, just like the rest of us then. Sturth if I could afford to move there’s no way I would be living here.
As hubby’s leg is still playing him up we decided on another short walk so on Sunday we did the Edgbaston Reservoir and Summerfield Park walk (2 ½ mile, well just over as we went around the park a couple of times). The reservoir had very little water in it as you can see from the Photos. What looks like sand banks and grass should be water. As you can see the weather wasn’t bright but very dull and cold with a wind that cut threw clothes and skin right to the bone, a day that makes you feel alive.
How is putting the price of stamps up going to make more people use the Royal Mail?
