* Hurray

Posted on November 6th, 2007 by jill. Filed under jill.


The local serious rag Leadership has commissioned an article from me every Sunday, and there may be something for me apart from a hijacking in the Niger Delta, training teachers for the new child centred schools. Doing the rounds at the moment, very busy, and when not busy, doing dialogue workshops and planning education handbook for the Earth Charter. Hardly any time for the pool sadly. Wrote a poem today while swimming:

Today

I was running throough water

because I enjoy futility.

Running through water.

I’m not strong, but

running through water

makes me stronger -

which is nice.

One day I hope to

run through ice.

today I was

running through water

It’s easy at the shallow end.

but as it gets deeper

it gets harder

until suddenly

you’re swimming.

Buddhist Quotes

You may pile up dung and call it sandalwood, but when you burn it, it will give off only the odour of dung. You may pile up a lot of great lies and call them the teachings of the Buddha, but they will never be anything but a gateway to the great citadel of the hell of incessant suffering. — Nichiren Daishonin
