Thought for the week: Ruth Tod hits the roof

The room where I meditate looks out over the roof tops of our town, from the mayor in his grand house to the prostitutes at the Red Lion. From here I try to see things as they are, without judging, simply noticing what is. I see frightening things and good things side by side. It is all there. People struggling, and people like me with a house and garden to enjoy. Against a backdrop of worrying politics, neighbours help each other. I try to watch, learn, understand and accept.
