Writing again
Lydia and I were out earliesh this morning, as the sun was still rising.
It was the second day for her wearing her new collar, and she did very well.
Back home, after setting Lydi up with her breakfast ball, I set to on deep cleaning the kitchen, eating my own breakfast as I worked.
After a few hours it was time to set off to meet my friend Susie. We had a lovely walk round a lake before heading for a café to have some lunch.
Susie first introduced me to meditation around 30 years ago. I wrote a poem about our friendship a while back:
Friendship
The light of your heart
Turns forever night
into a sensation of morning
as you reach out
to illuminate the darkness and depth
of my despair
Almost beyond hope
I find the firm hold
of your belief in me
and then I can see
that somewhere in the future
lies a present, what will it be?
All I do know is that now I can say
thank you for the day
and for your friendship
that helped to show the way
2013, dedicated to my friend Susie
Back home to Lydia and, after she’d had her tea and I’d had a bit of a rest, I went out to the Buddhist group meeting.
The theme for tonight’s meeting – the first of a group of three – was ‘love’, with the emphasis on affectionate love, cherishing love and wishing love. Wishing love is about wishing for others to be happy; not just those we are close to or who we particularly care about, but all others; all living beings.
