Ickwell through my camera and wanderings.

Good day my beloved brothers and sisters. Here are some pictures of a mooch with the pooch and sister Viv, to a small village in Bedfordshire UK called Ickwell. Accompanied by some sayings for our contemplation.


After a long walk around a picturesque  
 Bedfordshire, Maisy the pooch enjoys a nap. 

To reach satisfaction in all
desire its possession in nothing.
To come to possess all
desire the possession of nothing.
to arrive at being all
desire to be nothing.
To come to the knowledge of all
desire the knowledge of nothing.
—- St. John of the Cross


                                       

The day of my spiritual awakening was the day I saw–and knew I saw–all things in God, and God in all things.
— Mechtild of Magdeburg


                                          Nothing in all creation is so like God as stillness.
                                           — Meister Eckhart




                                          These are buildings nice in appearance, but they
                                           are in truth not really homes, but can be thought
                                           of as temporary residences. I say this for those of
                                          of us who understand that the real `I` dwells in the
                                          home where the heart is. This also is a temporary
                                          body which we acquired upon emerging from a
                                          womb. Our true home is not in this ever changing
                                          universe, but lets my brothers and sisters make the
                                          the most of this whilst we are here!  
                                             






                                                    This shadow, as this blog was made
                                                     by yours truly. May this be a good
                                                     day for all sentient beings.




                                         This car had been racing at Snetterton a few days
                                          earlier and, thanks to the owner for letting me look
                                          and take pictures.

                                                      Here above you can see the car lamp
                 which below we see a distorted reflection of my face.





   The labyrinth gets more complete each day! 

 To reach satisfaction in all
desire its possession in nothing.
To come to possess all
desire the possession of nothing.
to arrive at being all
desire to be nothing.
To come to the knowledge of all
desire the knowledge of nothing.
—- St. John of the Cross
Everything praises God. Darkness, privations, defects, evil too praise God and bless God.
— Meister Eckhert

Have a good day my beloved brothers and sisters and please pass this on. Your brother in Christ and all the saints esp Lao Tzu, Peter G Kimble.

Out with a mooch with the pooch and camera to Offley.


Good day my beloved brothers and sisters. Both those of you with Christ and those without. We are one in my heart and mind and it does not matter to me if we have recognized it yet or not.

So, yesterday my sister Viv, Maisy the mutt and yours truly went out on a jaunt to Offley. So after I show you some shots of my latest painting and one of self, we can proceed to the trip out!





                                                    Seeing this photo below, has convinced
                                                    me to be serious in a change of diet and
                                                    to undertake more exercise. This my
                                                    friends is day one of my fast. I am on
                                                    herbal teas, water and juice!

                           Maisy and sister Viv walk down the lane.





                                                 Here I am reflecting on you looking here!
                                                       On a bridge thinking that roads dont
                                                    always go in straight lines, nor do our lives!

                                                    Not an intentional sculpture, but I like the lines
                                                                  and sky.




                  You may notice my head reflected in the above shot of this wonderful converted barn.











                                          My sister, being an artist also points to interesting bricks.







                                                 Only a few recognizable letters on this stone!
