Reconnect

Well things have been very busy lately. I have been over to the emerald isle, had the fire pack in and moved my first born into her new house. Just for good measure throw in a bout of illness and yes busy don't seem to cut it. Things have got a bit lost in the turbulent day to day events!

Then something happened, my Granddaughter told me that she had told her teacher I was a Buddhist and in return the teacher had asked her to find out all about what I do and believe. This got me thinking "what would I say" she is only 8 and I don't want to confuse her. This morning during my meditation I started to reflect on what I would say, and began with the the life of the Buddha and the 4 sights. As I went over the story and tried to place the details in a simple and entertaining way I became more and more reconnected with what I actually believe. I realised I need not only to explore the more in depth teachings but to keep alive the initial spark which set this man on fire! I have told my Granddaughter to tell her teacher that if she would like I would go into the school and talk to her class, lets see where we go now.

Metta.
