"A crystal takes on the colour of the cloth upon which it is placed, whether white, yellow, red or black. Likewise, if the company that you keep is good or bad, it will make a huge difference to the direction your life and practice take."
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.
Well, that is really one for the children, as I think I must have hung out with some good people as I am happy with my direction........my practice has improved of late too.
I worked a long day today, which I enjoyed, but was tired when I got home. Spook had made the tea and the children had been taking it easy all day so were wanting to do something together in the evening. Thankfully, they settled on the world globe puzzle we bought them for Christmas, so we all had a really productive and friendly, non-competitive attempt at putting it together. Meg was embroiled in Antartica and a lot of sea, while Finn got tangled up in the Arctic, Russia, Canada, Northern Scandinavia, and I got completely lost in Africa. Spook hung out in Southern America for a while, and we all met up at different places. It was very absorbing and educational as we discovered where the Kara Sea is, the Anderson Islands, and the Sea of Khotsk. Most unusual, was the total lack of fighting!
Then we took a break to watch the Bear Family and Me, filmed by a man from Mull, who is married to a friends cousin. Great stuff.
