Beautiful moment

Several years ago these two people met in Buddha Garden.  Now they are living in a community in Japan and have just had a baby.

Very special.

More pictures

I decided not to do any writing work on my book today.  If I have a rest from what I have written I will be able to see it with fresh eyes. I will hopefully see what needs to be done to it more easily.

It needs one or two more pictures and so I went out and did that in the evening.  The picture for today is another one that demonstrates ‘adaptation’.  

I seem to have lots of pictures about adaptation. I wonder if there is a message for me in that.

More struggle

I have spent all day struggling with the book but feel that I have at last got the shape for it.  I am very pleased indeed with the first part.  Its been a hot sweaty day doing it.

I took this picture to demonstrate ‘adaptation’ as the two trees grow towards where there is more light.

Struggling with the book

Its been a real struggle working on the book for most of today.  It has included looking up suitable pictures on the internet.  In trying to find a suitable picture to describe ‘diversity’ I came across this picture of budgies.

The picture makes me laugh which its nice to do at the end of an extremely tiring day.

Dried to a crisp

I lose my energy very easily in this heat.  Although what needs to get done seems to get done, but am not always clear how. Seems quite miraculous in some cases.

Now my yoga classes have stopped I have to depend on myself to keep going with my practice.  Have decided that at the very least I will make myself do one asana a day. I think I can do that minimum however I feel and once I get started it usually flows quite easily into doing more.  Then everything within me feels good.

Only white flowers

I am finding it hard work writing this book.  It never seems quite right.  Today I decided to add more pictures and this evening went out trying to find pictures of vegetable plant flowers.  There weren’t that many and they all seemed to be white – is this a feature of vegetables that grow at this time of year?

I also went to take the photos in the evening.  Not a good idea as there is often a breeze at this time of day.  Which meant that quite a lot of the pictures were rather blurred.

Tired

Spent a lot of today finishing off and eventually sending the education proposal to SAIIER who will hopefully fund it.

I wanted to finish off the book as well but felt too tired.  Rajan also very tired and thinks it is probably the heat. Found out today that poor Sam has got scarlet fever so he is obviously very tired as well.
