A day off is better when the weather's good. I can't describe how wild it is outside my window. I was wise enough to 1/go out early this morning 2/change my mind about going to G.

I received 2 books about Buddhism yesterday -the proof something's definitely odd regarding the 9-10-11th October missing parcels-.



These are written by an American born and brought up in the Jewish faith. Some passages struck me and just reinforced that it's not by chance I feel home with Buddhism. I also discovered that the first Tibetan monastery of the Western world was founded in Scotland in 1967 in a place called Eskdalemuir in the South-West of Scotland, 2 hours drive from Glasgow.

Niki being back from Thailand, I'll try to convince him to take me there for a day out. He brought me a Buddha that is now sitting next to my bed looking peacefully upon my sleep.



I have bought some oriental pink lilies a few days ago. They have started to open up and I was thinking how brief it will be before they go rest in the bin. Ephemeral...

By the time I wrote this morning, the lily has completely opened. It's magic!



"I, also, would like to look and smile, sit and walk like that, so free, so worthy, so restrained, so candid, so childlike and mysterious. A man only looks and walks like that when he has conquered his Self. I also will conquer my Self...No other teachings will attract me, since this man's teachings have not done so."

Siddhartha by H. Hesse
