1/5/2024 0 Comments Happy May Day 2024! A Time of Ending & Renewal - Like the Turning of a Waterwheel!This is a video of the waterwheel in the old mill just behind Buckfast Abbey. My son and his family visited this place recently - and filmed this device. The wheel turns endlessly - always reputing and making the obvious continuously new. Remember - everything has its time and its place. Love and peace emerge and retract because that is the way of nature. Perhaps oneday humanity will manage to evolve to the point where all there is will be peace and love. There are probably still villages spread throughout England where the May Pole is still used - and Morris Dancing is practiced at the May Fayre - whilst the Hobby Horse gallops around bestowing blessings and punishments to all and sundry! The Green Man will peep from behind the trees - whilst the Pixies and Fairies are hiding in the bushes and behind mushrooms! All that is old is made new again by each generation that remembers. Of course, things must change because change is the key to reality. Remembering is a structured form of controlled change where the old is made new in the present. One moment we are all here - the next we are gone. All we can do is laugh! One summer evening (led by her) I found A little boat tied to a willow tree Within a rocky cave, its usual home. Straight I unloosed her chain, and stepping in 360 Pushed from the shore. It was an act of stealth And troubled pleasure, nor without the voice Of mountain-echoes did my boat move on; Leaving behind her still, on either side, Small circles glittering idly in the moon, Until they melted all into one track Of sparkling light. But now, like one who rows, Proud of his skill, to reach a chosen point With an unswerving line, I fixed my view Upon the summit of a craggy ridge, 370 The horizon’s utmost boundary; far above Was nothing but the stars and the grey sky. She was an elfin pinnace; lustily I dipped my oars into the silent lake, And, as I rose upon the stroke, my boat Went heaving through the water like a swan; When, from behind that craggy steep till then The horizon’s bound, a huge peak, black and huge, As if with voluntary power instinct, Upreared its head. I struck and struck again, 380 And growing still in stature the grim shape Towered up between me and the stars, and still, For so it seemed, with purpose of its own And measured motion like a living thing, Strode after me...

5/6/2023 0 Comments A Wise Old Owl...Another member of the family has just had a day of birthness - and out of it all came a beautiful card (Owl) and two Buddhas - one gold and the other red! When the card and Buddhas are arranged in a specific orientation - a superb effect if produced! The CD cover is 'Pure McCartney'! I suppose it all goes together in one way or another!
19/2/2023 0 Comments Christmas Eve - 1997!My son - Adrian - had gone to London to make his fortune (like Dick Whittington)! There, whilst working in Sutton (Southwest London) he met and married Cindy Chan (now his 'ex' wife). They were married in Sri Lanka during December, 1996! Cindy's family was from Hong Kong when it was a British Colony. The Chan family had arrived in 1956 - and set-up a very successful Take-Away and Restaurant in Sutton! During WWII - the Chan family - like thousands of other Chinese people - joined the British in their fight against the Imperial Japanese! Allies to the end against fascist tyranny! Still, we must evolve beyond all forms of 'war' - and peace and love must replace 'force' and 'barbarism'! This message is for ALL people and not just one group in favour of another! Still, to the left is Charlotte (my younger daughter) - and in my arms is my first grand-daughter - little 'Sue-Ling' (she was born during 'August' 1997)! She is all grown-up now - and my son has re-married - but this was a great and wondrous time! This picture was taken in Tiverton, Devon! Cherish and value what you have - you never know what is around the corner! All you need is love!
27/10/2022 0 Comments Always Do the Right Thing...Captain Edward Smith of the RMS Titanic - had a beard like me! A very brave man who went down with his ship - like many others that cold April night in 1912! We must be a support to one another - and through our actions - inspire others to be brave! Who knows - we might not be able to change our immediate circumstances - but perhaps we can transform the world for the better for those who come after us! Fear is natural in difficult times - but love for one another can always be stronger! Sometimes, we must stand where we are because fate demands it and there is no other opportunity! In this way - although our bodies are entrapped by the conditions our bodies find themselves within - our minds and spirits soar through the cosmos completely free and unhindered! Oneday, this transition from matter to spirit comes to us all - in one way or another! It is wise to be prepared! Captain Smith above is played by British Actor Bernard Hill - who I remember playing the part of 'Yosser Hughes' in the 'Boys From the Black Stuff' - on British TV during the 1980s!
Love - Moses Kai-Lin (left) and Mei-An (right) - my two beautiful grand-daughters from South London! Life is short and we must treat one another with love and respect. What else is there? Children carry-on our genetics and retain the memories of who we are - their ancestors! Our children and grand-children must build a better and more loving world! Wisdom and compassion are the keys that will build a better world! Many people are psychologically and physically damaged by various events that they have experienced in their lives! This observation is stronger than any government, any Court or any army! Anyone can do anything to our bodies - but we possess the ability to strengthen our minds and expand our hearts! Who can beat this? No one! A person can have any amount of worldly power - but it means absolutely NOTHING without a heart that emits a boundless and all enveloping love for all beings! All beings - that is every form of life past, present or future - are all equally valid! I love all of you without exception. You do not have to like me, support me, care about me or even think I am useful in anyway - I need NOTHING from you! I LOVE you without exception no matter who you are or what you have done (or not done). I do not care about your history because LOVE permeates everywhere and all the time. When I look and wave at you - you are immediately free! More than this - when we meet the value of your being FREES me!
This photograph, for some strange reason, was made into a postcard! I think I was looking at a print-out explaining the history of the area - including the fort and lighthouse, etc.
21/12/2021 0 Comments Taking Ginseng - Feeling Great!A special plant that grows in Northeast China (and some other places) - believe it or not - but in the shape of a human-being! It has long been thought to be a giver of health and good vibes all-round!
