Zen and the Orient

"What is life if full of care
We have no time to stand and stare?"
WH.Davies.

Life gets back to normal after the frenetic past couple of weeks.

And Monday means yoga.
Our teacher asked if we had seen a recent newspaper article about a 92-year-old yoga teacher.
We hadn't.

"Well," she says " I have quite a few in another class who will be that age in a few years time."

We had a long session on breathing. Who would have thought that sitting for five minutes in silence concentrating on your breathing could be difficult?

So today has been all about contemplation, relaxation and appreciating the simple things in life.
Like the garden.
Hence todays blip of a giant pink Oriental poppy in the garden.
