"If a writer is so cautious that he never writes anything that cannot be criticized, he will never write anything that can be read.
If you want to help other people you have got to make up your mind to write things that some men will condemn."

Thomas Merton. "New Seeds of Contemplation" ch. 15.

h/t @phranuntiyo who has posted this quotation from Thomas , *Thoughts on Solitude*:

"No writing on the solitary, meditative dimensions of life can say anything that has not already been said better by the wind in the pine trees."

There is a famous story in which Zhaozhou is asked "Why did Bodhidharma come from the West?", which is like asking "What is the meaning and purpose of Zen?"

Zhaozhou replied, "The oak tree in the courtyard." ...

See this map savewimbledonpark.org/post/map savewimbledonpark.org/post/map illustrating the (Wimbledon Tennis) plans to build all over Metropolitan Open Land that they bought from Council in 1993 and promised not to build on and even signed covenants saying that they would not build on it. Their excuse to apply for planning permission to bulldoze and build all over it now ? “Times have changed”.

It saddening that I wasn’t even that shocked when I read the headline of this story. Faith in the Police is rock bottom and if you are a women, person of colour or LGBTQ+ it’s subterranean.

I didn’t feel safe at night in the early 00’s - my BF always walked me home. So glad he did after reading this. The nasty piece of work was patrolling my borough - .

This is probably one of the smallest pieces of municipal treasure that I have picked up - a London Borough of Merton lapel badge…
