Is it easy or difficult to make a friend? We can certainly make acquaintances. We can certainly talk across the garden fence. We can exchange our opinions of the weather, the political situation, and can give reports about our health,  but what about being accepted at a deep level? In other words 'knowing' that you are a friend. What about feeling co-existential with the universe when you are...

Okay I agree it wasn't quite ordinary because I was going to have my eye examination four weeks after my cataract operation. I dodged the showers and caught the (late) local bus to take me to the bus station in Bath and from there the green 4A local  to Weston via the RUH Royal United Hospital.

I have decided to write this article 'on the fly' without any preparation just to see what comes. If we believe that the prime function of the brain mind is to be a receiver and not a transmitter then in theory I should be able to receive the information I need without any left brain preparation. During the hours of 11 pm to 7:00 a.m. I have a habit of sleeping. It is traditional to sleep during...
