  I would rather see a group like this than the unkempt, aggressive, drugged, drunk, bad-mannered rock bands anyday. But it's fine if that's your taste.

  A very beautiful and tasteful memorial.

  I just realised, putting your hands together like that helps to bring your focus and energy in and to "still" you in the moment. In the quiet of the moment the rest of life exists.

  You can see the kids totally get it! Lovely !!!!

  @ Schopenhauer, all Buddha statues throughout the world are described by their posture - standing, sitting/seated or reclining. And, yes, reclining Buddha is usually Buddha close to death.

  I'm not into superstitions, but if a benign ritual helps to cement a positive mind-state, do it.

  Thank you, Molenir.

  Being from Sydney where it gets to mid 40's with high humidity in summer every year, we know what to do, too. Sports drinks are now sold beside soft drinks (pop). The sugar keeps the blood glucose up and the salt/electrolytes keeps the brain functioning properly and helps to retain fluids in the tissues.

  When I was an ultra-distance endurance triathlete, I never went out the door until I was properly fed and watered and took fluids (and food) with me.

  The schools need to consult with a sports nutritionalist to get some ground rules.

  Oh, and less than half the people in Sydney DON'T have air conditioning. I go to the library if it gets too hot. Others go to the shopping centres.

  Ah, a lotus flower. Shame the photographer didn't recognise the most important symbol of enlightenment in the buddhist beliefs, if I'm not wrong.

  What a gorgeous boy! And I think his clothes are fine. I wish he was my nephew so I could dote on him as his aunt. Best wishes to him and the lovely young woman.

  The world is flat. If we don't allow for any other truth, we keep ourselves closed to it. I researched reincarnation for almost a decade. There is an enormous amount of information available but only some understands it in a way that not only makes sense but makes sense of LIFE and answers a LOT of questions. Basically, it is in the depths of your mind that all memories are stored. Life between lives is where the real you exists. Each different life is a role to learn from, and to help others learn. When you understand this, racism, sexism and any other discrimination fades. Nothing but respect and love for all remains.
