Moss ‘forest’ detail
We’ve had a wonderful few days of tremendous spring sunshine, shorts weather, even here in the Highlands. The daffs are finally all opening, trees are showing buds all over the place, and the garden birds are competing with each other to see which can steal the most finest-quality ‘nesting’ moss from my carefully cultivated moss-patch. The sunshine is giving us a much-needed boost of energy too!

This week’s quotes will probably leave some heads being scratched. It shows the closeness in thinking between some physicists and Eastern philosophers.

– Dogen, famous Japanese Zen master
“For a believing physicist like myself, the separation between past, present and future has the value of a mere, albeit stubborn, illusion.”
– Albert Einstein
