Catching up on writing, creativity, Buddhism and life in general
Well hasn’t it been an interesting time over the past two or three years!
It feels like a period of time has been lost, because of the pandemic – and yet it has also been a very busy time. There have been some quite radical changes in our life through this period, which is probably true for many people. In this post—my first since 2020—I offer a sketch of these changes.
My husband, Ngakpa ’ö-Dzin,

| Rather dull for the first ten chapters, but then gets more interesting. Confusing number of characters to begin with and I rather lost track of who was who and their relationship to one another. Cleverly written from the perspective of one character. ...more | |

| What a wonderful, powerful piece of writing. Rightly deserves its status as a classic novel from the perspective of the quality of writing and the subject matter. Sad to see there is still such prejudice in the world today. | |

| Not an easy book but certainly worth study. All the important details of Guru Rinpoche's life are there but surrounded by many side stories. ...more | |

| Not really my type of book (book group choice) but I greatly appreciated the clever writing. It's very tight and skilful. No waste or waffle; no loose ends; nothing stretched beyond belief or relying on convenient coincidence. ...more | |

| This book was quite a challenge to read in a month for our book group. It is huge! Ken Follett skilfully weaves the different aspects of the story together and moves masterfully between the various settings. It is a detailed examination of world hist ...more | |

| Another clever piece of writing by Elizabeth von Arnim. The story unfolds through the travel log of one of the caravaners. He is a prejudiced and self-obsessed Prussian Baron holidaying with his wife in England. He feels himself to be superior to all ...more | |

I started reading this in Welsh but realised two things: firstly my Welsh wasn't good enough to get beyond simply the gist of the story, and secondly that even that was sufficient to know I wanted to read this wonderful book properly. It is a beautifu ...more |

“It is a long way to Ireland, Janet, and I am sorry to send my little friend on such weary travels: but if I can't do better, how is it to be helped? Are you anything akin to me, do you think, Jane?"
I could risk no sort of answer by this time: my heart was still.
"Because, he said, "I sometimes have a queer feeling with regard to you - especially when you are near me, as now: it is as if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little frame. And if that boisterous channel, and two hundred miles or so of land some broad between us, I am afraid that cord of communion will be snapt; and then I've a nervous notion I should take to bleeding inwardly. As for you, - you'd forget me.”
― Jane Eyre

“Do you think I am an automaton? — a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! — I have as much soul as you — and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal — as we are!”
― Jane Eyre

“Jane, be still; don't struggle so like a wild, frantic bird, that is rending its own plumage in its desperation."
"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being, with an independent will; which I now exert to leave you.”

“True love is not so much a matter of romance as it is a matter of anxious concern for the well-being of one's companion.”
