Dharma Glimpse by Kaspa I was sitting in the garden. Next to me was a half empty mug of strong coffee; a stainless steel cafetiere with the rest of the coffee in, ready for topping up the mug; a pair of secateurs; and a pair of garden shears. I drained the last of the coffee […]
Dharma Glimpse by Sheila Maund I feel very aware of the seasons changing this week and the approach of September, which always heralds s time of new beginnings and bigger changes.
