MORNING INSPIRATION

Holy Spirit, we would hear

Your inner promptings, soft and clear;

And help us know Your still, small voice

So we may make God's will our choice. 

D De Haan - Our Daily Bread

MORNING MEDITATION

Tune your anxious heart to patience,

Walk by faith where sight is dim;

Loving God, be calm and trustful

And leave everything to Him.

(Chambers) Our Daily Bread

Patience means awaiting God's time, and trusting God's love

THE RIVER OF TIME

To become enlightened you must cross the river of time.

All material things pass away,

But enlightenment lasts for all eternity.

(From the Dhammapada, part of the Pali canon

(C.500 BCE-C200CW) India

(From my  book The Bridge of Stars)

LITTLE WHITE RABBIT'S LATEST TRIP

Last weekend Little White Rabbit crossed the River Tyne via the old transporter and then went to Saltburn by the Sea which is an interesting place with pier, promenade, galleries and theatre.Its history goes back to Roman times. This is a coast steeped in 18thC smuggling folklore. It was the discovery of iron ore that transformed the region and Saltburn into a seaside resort for a monied class. According to a leaflet today the town is being redisocvered by a new generation of long weekenders drawn by youthful galleries, restaurants, the coastal walks, fossil rich cliffs and timeless seascapes.

Hello again

Saltburn by the Sea

 

 

This is the life for me

Come on where are you?

Let's have a paddle

Lots of people enjoying the beach today

 

Goodbye Saltburn

THE CLEAR PATH

All is transient.

Whenyou perceive ths, you are above suffering;

The path is clear.

All is suffering.

When you perceive this, you are above suffering;

The path is clear.

All is unreal.

When you perceive this, you are above suffering;

The path is clear.

(The Buddha (c.563-c483BCE) India

FORGE NEW PATHS - MORNING THOUGHT

Do not go where the path may lead,

Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

(Ralph Waldo Emerson 1803-82) USA

From my book called The Bridge of Stars

VISIT TO A GARDEN CENTRE

On the way home from Lytham we called at Barton Grange Garden Centre near Preston, a family run business with lots of lovely things to enjoy.

Come on now we are going to a garden centre

Look at those bronze dogs, they might smell us let's go

What lovely giraffes, they should be in a zoo

Ostriches ?

I can't keep up, I need a rest among these african violets

Just look at those animals, made from house leeks

Pigs as well

Better go before they change us

Hello chaps

What a lot of things to see and buy

 

Goodbye, see you again, at least you are not a burger
