Tommy glad you see it that way.

Raj your comments on "We've each got different partners now..." is most welcome and points a literary "think" that I appreciate.

‘stay on higher ground'

I hear you Raj. Thanks for the sage advice!

Keep smiling

Hey Raj,

‘A wonderful tribute to our tribe of scribes'

It's a wonderful tribe, Raj. I meant it in all sincerity, when I said ‘I can be me'.

Hi Raj,

Thank you for your commendation.

I particularly like your poem 'F**k the Forgive and Forget Mantra'.

Chrystel

I thank you for commenting on my work Raj.

thanks for reading my poem
"kids on a Beach"
I hope it did not hurt too much
like sunburn, it will go away after awhile.

Like one's heart, yes?

Hey Raj

Thanks so much for your note on my Valentine poem ? maybe I'll do that haha ?

RAj thankyou for your comments I don't think It will happen in my lifetime but let's hope Wendy x

Hi Raj, thanks so much for taking the time to read and comment on my poems, I'm just coming back to it after a long time of disconnection, so feels both fantastic and a bit "clunky",
Thanks
Lan

I so enjoy your comments on all WOL works. I'm sure you know that, but I'm saying it anyway. Cheers.

Hey, there! Thank you for your comment on my profile. Working on my pieces each time. Thanks again! :)

Raj, will you please check out my poem 'The Question', (not too far back). I so want to put 'wolf' as the final word, as in 'we so need an alpha wolf', not 'star'. Whichever word I choose, it is the ultimate 'impact of intent'. I had 'wolf'; I want 'wolf', but I'm being pinched by some kind of argument of what is 'worldly' and what is 'lordly'. Or fact versus fantasy. I'd like your input. For me, the poem 'hangs in my head', because I feel phoney about the ending.

You're a thinker. Why did I change it? This is a serious question.

Hi Raj we are in Spain at the moment during the day it's like having a full orchestra sat on the wiring during the day I would not miss it for the world thankyou for your comments love Wendy x

good morning and goodbye Mr Ferds.One is getting on ones Asda bound bike asap.

Cheers Raj for your crisp and constructive comments;- ) Tommy

Perhaps 'worlds' have the power to shape 'words' too, when you think about it.

Raj
re "Inductive and deductive Logic tutorials." aaaaaaaaagh! (runs out of the room) ?

Ta Raj on 'Sin'. Your comment is most welcome. Tommy

Hello Raj, thanks for the comment on Mushroom Picking. The mushrooms were huge, bigger than in any shop. Thanks again. Keith

Thank you for your comment on 'happy tears'. And definitely it opens the door as you put it for more. ?

Hi Raj thankyou for your comments it's taken a long time but after a lifetime of being quiet seeing sleaze and listening to it i have found my voice at last . Regards Wendy .

you are a very fine man.

Such a positive hopeful poem...thanks

I sensed Zen Hazel. I feel connected. Namaste.

Only yesterday I finished a little book on Mindfulness by Anna Black -- filled with beautiful, bite-sized practices.

I have watched Tara Brach before. I feel drawn towards her and her belief in radical acceptance is rather endearing.
When she mentions the 'awakening heart' my mind delves deep into my earlier classes on kundalini yoga where we worked on the awakening of the sleeping serpent within us (mula badha).

My journey continues Hazel and I'm in the final stages of completing my first book on managing smoking addiction through staying in the "now" and watching the cravings come and go. Wonderful.

I'm keen to know more about your mental health charity, MBSR and MBCT.

Love&Light
Raj

Hi Raj, I've been doing some kind of meditation with different degrees of commitment since I was 16. Then I lived in Nepal for a couple of years working as a volunteer and was surrounded by functioning Buddhist monasteries. I did a vipassana retreat and that started my mindfulness practice. When I came home I became involved with the Mindfulness Association at Samye Ling in Scotland and did the MBSR at Bangor University. I'm addicted to Tara Brach podcasts and videos. I am part of a local buddhist sangha but don't consider myself to be a practising buddhist. I'm lucky enough to teach secular mindfulness as part of my job with a mental health charity - so that anchors me at work and helps to wake me out of the trance. The difficult colleague in my poem was from a previous job - I still think of her with a mixture of love, amusement and sheer fear!
