Bilbao by evening light

  • An evening of Zen DSC04397
    Given its industrial past, Bilbao is a strikingly handsome city. Its renaissance puts me somewhat in mind of what has become of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, another northern industrial city with new arts centred development. In fact the parallels are quite strong. The Basque people, like the Geordies, have a distinctive local culture. The weather here is constantly changing and many of these pictures were taken in low light.

  • Tilted rock strata give the shore distinction DSC04374
    This is a spectacular bay with a spiritual atmosphere. It has probably been a sacred spot since pre-Christian times. At the western end of the bay is a peninsula with a causeway ascent to a small church dedicated to John the Baptist. In the middle of the bay is an island. The shores are rocky pavements with strata at oblique angles. There are over 200 steps down and up. Good exercise. Good for the body and the soul.

Dissolution with Steve Lewis and band

I am happy to have received a mail from Steve Lewis recently as follows "For years I've been taken by a meditation on the dissolution of the physical body that was in your Zen Therapy book. I turned it into a song." You can listen to Dissolution here on YouTube. This is Heavy Dharma :-) Thanks Steve - well done.
