Oh yes - found a report on the STORM that hit us today - I was afraid of windows breaking!

Quite a few emails 2 Mum - about teaching wisdom & compassion in schools - so few young people seem 2 have peace of mind and a lot of violence. Yes the Dalai Lama says we place a lot of emphasis on filling minds with knowledge rather than filling hearts with compassion

Continuing last month's theme of God & the fine-tuning of our universe ... also leads us here

Another educational show on the tube - good 4 visualising :)

Took a look at this collection 4 the first time in ages - could add some 2 our new notebook
