Mischief
Today I had some pre operation research appointments. I was in hospital from 12.30 till 15.30. Everything went smoothly and with care
My first appointment was with physiotherapy. We where in a small group and we were taught how to walk with crutches. I felt very…

Here is the hymn I wrote which helped me resign from a job which I have been struggling with for many years:
Two Trees
A culture of bullying is like a tree:
If bullying is in the trunk,

Amitabha reaches out to rescue me;
I stretch out my arm, and take His hand.
He is the trunk of a different…

I came back from my retreat at Amida Mandala in Malvern, knowing that I would have to face my problems at work which are a mirror and continuation of problems I have faced since age five (and probably had karmic forbears as well). I am writing hymns which reflect this but I try to use the Nembutsu to turn the feelings around and come up with new responses, rather than old, counterproductive ones. Here's a hymn:
