Ted Seymour - Explorations of Truth
My last post was a short but sweet one mentioning the desire for contact which has been arising and also for silence (see “silent spaces”). Today I had a video Skype session with someone and during that call, she started coughing, so rather than talking, we started typing while the video connection remained intact. It’s […]
I returned from my weekly local Buddhist Meditation group this evening and I must say I really love it. And not for any reason you could easily imagine.
