so it is a few days later now and I have listened to more of their music and realised I was lucky to have the songs picked out for me.  and also was struck by the recognition that this music I am enjoying so much really is Om man e pad me hum territory  

I went to town and bought a little JBL and bumped into an old friend from premie days in the supermarket - it was a real pleasure and we had quite a long chat and he said I was one of the earliest to leave and I said I was ostracised and vilified and he said he was sorry that had happened and I said I had been listening to music and it made me realise you really are my kind of people.  

It was nice to be able to have that exchange.  

If I had stayed quiet as in not spoken out publicly I would likely still be friends with them but I wouldn't be who I am - things get more specific don't they and it has been a privilege to meet the people on this forum.  I know we gone quiet, that's okay, we're getting older now.  

He said he would rather concentrate on his breath than his thoughts.  Oh no I replied I like my thoughts.  oh goodness that demonising of the mind was awful wasn't it.  so glad to have made up with my mind again.

I took my JBL down to the studio.  it was good, and I got going again with the mermaid. Hopefully I will post a pic when I finish her.
