Zen on the Tube and Beyond Belief
Had a funny moment on the tube. The lady with the book, is reading a little book of Zen, all about finding peace and centredness. Five minutes before this scene, the woman with the book on centredness screamed and shouted out “Jesus Christ, you are standing on my b****y h**l don’t you think you should be a bit more careful’. He responded ‘that’s not very Zen’, to which she responded with another expletive.
This whole scene so reminds me of the problems of today. People trying to find techniques to keep control all on the brink of anxiety, where people are just not very generous in their closed worlds…. as we looked earlier in the year, a form of afluenza coming home to roost.
Congrats to Clare Catford, she shared her heart and experience on the BBC Radio 4 ‘Beyond Belief’ programme. Clare you were great!! Hear the show for a week here. Go to the bottom of the screen and click on Feb 09 – Love.
