If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything; it is open to everything. In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities; in the expert's mind there are few.

From " Moving Forward, Keeping Still "

night night .. peace zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Three days without bread. I'm trying, I really am. Eggs , fish, vegetables , and nuts.

Funny, it's not as difficult as I thought it would be. Stomach feels good too. * she pats herself on the back * Well done ! One day at a time. I would like to see if I can go 2 weeks without bread as part of my G.I. experiment.

Dragged myself home last night absolutely knackered. Aching limbs, exhausted to the point of tears , and yet happy. Three intensive days of BioPsychosynthesis with my favourite teacher, a doctor, psychiatrist , and also a shaman.

First drumming in the four directions, above and below and then three times round the circle. Powerful stuff. Then this poem by Kabir .

There's a moon in my body...
There's a moon in my body, but I can't see it!
A moon and a sun.
A drum never touched by hands, beating, and I can't hear it!
As long as a human being worries about when he will die,
and what he has that is his,
all of his works are zero.
When affection for the I-creature and what it owns is dead,
then the work of the Teacher is over.
The purpose of labour is to learn;
when you know it, the labour is over.
The apple blossom exists to create fruit; when that
comes, the petal falls.
The musk is inside the deer, but the deer does not
look for it:
it wanders around looking for grass.
Kabir

Mt test results say I'm a cA Type 4- " a cA Type 4partner radiates warmth and love. They are affectionate during sex and will rarely shy away from telling you how they feel about you. This is someone you can always rely on to be honest and sincere, since sex is the ultimate expression of their trust in you.

Both physically and emotionally, a Type 4 is a sexual explorer. Orgasm is rarely the driving goal with this person and because of this, they are likely to be creative and able to take you places you may never have expected.

But how do you spot your Type 4 sexual partner before becoming intimate with them?

New research has shown that you can determine a person's sexual type simply by observing subtle cues in their everyday behavior."

so now we all know lol

I checked the guestbook 0n my web site today and found a message from one of my first pupils ever, teaching practice , 1970.

"When I was a little girl, we had a trainee teacher at our school in Birmingham, England named ( my name ) . She made a great impression on me. Could you be the same person perhaps? "

It's amazing how we touch each other's lives . This touches me deeply.
