This is very brief.
The world has changed so much over the last few weeks, society, or lack of, has virtually ground to a big fat halt. At the moment, and for the last couple of weeks and probably for the next 5 or 6 weeks, I’m working silly hours because the virus has and is affecting some of my colleagues. Luckily, their combined absence is precautionary at the moment and fingers crossed, they’ll all come back to work safe and healthy.
So, it’s down to the rest of us to work extra hours, which is why I’ve been largely absent on WP. Today was my second day working in a sequence of 8 straight shifts. 15 hour days and night shifts thrown into the mix.
Right now, all I crave is a cold pint of beer, sat in a beer garden in the sun.
But, I would gladly give that little luxury dream of mine up for this virus to just stop and leave us alone.
Anyway, I may be absent for a while, but as Arnie said “I’ll be back”!
Please, everyone stay safe and healthy and love the life you have, it’s the most precious thing we have.
Take care and stay safe. We’ll see you soon, I’m sure 👍

It’s like a magical elixir. By the way I fell asleep listening to the lotus mantra yesterday afternoon before work. It didn’t bore me or anything like that mate, it relaxed me so I could actually get some sleep before a 12 hr night shift.

Glad you gave the lotus sutra a try John. I’ve been all over the place with my meditation: some days I just can’t be arsed. Everything is telling me to relax and forget schedules. I’m off for a bike ride now with a bottle of cold beer to open outside a deserted pub. Then the journey back will be a bit magical. 🍺☀️
