“Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” ~Gautama Buddha

Thank you Anita and Peggy. I am always honoured and very grateful when my words touch someone, and your responses were so lovely …

All my mornings now seem to be going the same way lately .. for the past week my days have started the same way (apart from the poached eggs .. my lovely wife likes a bit of variety at breakfast 🙂 ) … In fact, yesterday and today are the fist 2 days when that routine was broken. Yesterday was a whole morning of guiding and meditating with a new friend who is struggling to control her “monkey mind” … “ego” … and who is full of emotional and physical blockages to her spiritual growth, so my early morning session was short yesterday. I made my devotions and affirmations, said a prayer of gratitude, asked for help, guidance and support … and that was that … but then I did spend almost 4 hours in meditation and energy sharing so …

And last night I fell and damaged my hip .. so this morning I had to meditate in pain in bed … Bah !! …

but I’m still a big old happy bear despite the setback …  🙂

Hi Anita. Sorry for the late reply, I’m not in very often lately … way too busy playing in 3 bands and giving guided meditaitons to friends and small groups 🙂 …

The accident was a simple thing … At 70 yrs old, and with the mind of a 35 yr old, I tend to forget myself sometimes. I had been sitting on the floor watching TV while my wife lay on the settee behind me. I think I must have been pinching one of the larger nerves in my right leg (sciatic maybe) because when I got up to go to bed, my right leg was as controllable as a tube of cotton wool …

It gave way and I came down like a felled tree. In the process of going down, I sort of twisted and bent at the waist. My head went to the left, my legs fell away to the right .. and I landed imn a double whammy, straining my right-side quadrus lumborum .. it stretched the muscle and affected the attachment at the ribs end, so now, if I’m not careful, I get a viscious twinge in my right lower back when standing up from a chair.

Other than that there is no serious damage, except that the outer side of my right leg is bruized deeply, and my hip joint aches from the over-rotation … but after a week, I’m back to 5km per day walking, so when it’s all active I’m good .. Though I don’t think I’ll be doing any mad antics at any of my rock band performances for a good few months to come … 🙂

Thanks for your concern.

Much love

Kevin

Thank you dear Peggy … I’m certainly going to keep on keeping on .. and as you noticed from other posts of mine . I am expanding my spiritual pusuits to include other people as a way of giving back, and as far as it seems to me, fulfilling my life purpose to help people come into the light.
