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!
