Easter Holidays
The Bradford Lot!
The Extended Bradford Lot!
So, it has been Easter. I’ve done very little on the art front since it has been school holidays and I have had my little gremlins to tend to. It has been a welcome break to not have to rush all the time and it has been a real pleasure to spend time with friends whom we have not seen for a while. It will probably be the last time we see some of our Yorkshire friends before our move to Derbyshire/Notts, although we still don’t have a date yet, and still don’t know where we are going! If all goes smoothly it will come into fruition probably within the next month. Over the holiday period I have been reading Eckhart Tolle again, ‘A New Earth’. I am also following the classes he put together with Oprah Winfrey on-line. There is a quote in his book from the philosophical speaker J. Krishnamurti who announced near the end of his life that he had a secret, which he said was “I don’t mind what happens”. He was talking about out-comes and our attachments to them, and in being attached to specific outcomes we generate ill-feeling in our bodies and in the world at large. Eckhart brings it to our attention that when we can accept a situation, ill-feeling subsides (on an inner and outer level), and out of that space miracles can happen. I am following his advice, and I feel a lot better for it. More peaceful inside throughout a time most people would be expecting stress. I am remarkably chilled out now actually!! Ha hahah! Even though the kids are running riot downstairs while supposed be cleaning out the pet hamster! I guess I had better go see where they are up to. Easter Blessings everyone!
Don’t you mean ‘The Bradford Massiv!’ much more appropriate!
Aye! Massiv we is! Will miss you all, although probably not, because you will all be down for our next party asap no doubt!!! There is a lovely Indian restaurant around the corner – bonus!!
