I did this extra podcast yesterday evening. I had the other podcasts finished and I just felt I had more to share. So on I went in a rambling song  about lots of unrelated things, which I hope brightens up your heart in this winter day because sometimes I feel podcasting is not about the sharing of something important, but more about the intimacy of sharing. So for the joy of it, here's my Sunday Morning hello to you. I wish you a rich and restful Sunday.

And I put up an image of Kae Tempest. Courageous young artist.

It's just there. And I climbed it one time. and that's all there is to say. But then I end up relating to the mountain like it was a person. Because all the people come and go. 

But the mountain remains. I love it now. Maybe I need to go there again next year. One more time to visit it. To feel it holding me. Embracing me.

Well I started this reflection where yesterday's talk about the Monkey and the Banana ended. And then I drifted into a few thoughts about detachment. AT this time if year I like to withdraw. I go into my room and close the door. sometimes it's a real room and sometimes it's the room in my heart. I'm not closing off the world. But I'm detaching from the world for a while. I'm trying to get to the centre of my life rather than orbiting around it. Ground Zero in the beautiful cataclysm of awakening. it's not difficult. just detach yourself from everything. And have a lovely day. By the way the picture is not me. it's Milarepa. Great storyteller he was!

In November I miss my friends. I feel them around me like messengers from another realm. They support me, hold me, cherish me. it's only my imagination but it's a way of getting through the winter, with metaphors. So I'm sharing it with you. A very short meditation.

Just a few minutes ago Mr Biden became president elect, of USA. So I feel it's an auspicious moment to post this audio. Me in the carpark of Supervalu, blathering on about Buddhist ideas. In the picture is the Panchen Otrul Rinpoche, my teacher in Tibetan philosophy since 1995. The picture taken in Jampa Ling a wonderful centre in Bawnboy Cavan, a resource for people of all religions and none to discover skills and techniques in mindfulness. 

This is an extra podcast this weekend. Hope you enjoy it and hope you have many blessings  this evening and in the days to come. Michael.

Good Morning for November 7, we're one week into this month of the dead, we're 2 weeks into the Winter lockdown and here's a big long sleepy podcast that rambles all over the place, and should feel like I'm lounging around on a Saturday morning. So I hope you like it, and check out Kate Tempest, whom I mention with great adoration, and Gare St Lazare Players Ireland, who also get a mention. They have a live show tonight which you might enjoy. You'll find the links of you google their name. Have a good day. I have a Buddhist teaching called Thinking of Buddha in the Supervalue Carpark which will I will post this afternoon or this evening. Blessings. Michael.

This happened when I was in Mullingar about 12 years ago. There's a hidden world inside the story. Hope you like it.

Well I wanted to tell you a story. And I got carried away here talking to you about what I'm talking about. So the next podcast will be a story about a horse and a car. But this podcast is a personal reflection about how I live on the inside. It's personal. I hope you like it.

The 3rd of 3. Finishing off the workshop with a story by Oscar Wilde. Someone asked me to read it. It's complete and wonderful storytelling. It's mythic. And of course it's about love. Enjoy Samhain. Embrace the wintertime. The presence of others will sustain us.
