Weather
After a period of unusually warm weather in Ireland, we now have wind and rain. Change and what doesn’t change….
My real dwelling
Has no pillars

And the wind cannot blow it down!
Ikkyu, 1394–1481, Japanese Zen Buddhist monk and poet
Pizza
The sky isn’t more beautiful if you have perfect skin. Music doesn’t sound more interesting if you have a six-pack. Dogs aren’t better company if you are famous. Pizza tastes good regardless of your job title.
The best of life exists beyond the things we are encouraged to crave.

There is great happiness in not wanting,
in not being something,
in not going somewhere.

Making space
When we walk on the earth with reverence,
beauty will decide to trust us
The rushed heart and arrogant mind
lack the gentleness and patience to enter that embrace.
John O’Donohue, Beauty: The Invisible embrace
A love of life
If we look at the world with a love of life,
the world will reveal its beauty to us.
