Here’s a #postcard showing three aspects of #Oxford University. To the left the views show #Magdalen College (top) and #ChristChurch College (lower). The arms are those of #Merton College, and derive from the founder Walter de Merton, and Rochester, of which he was bishop

h/t @phranuntiyo who has posted this quotation from Thomas #Merton, *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 #Zen 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." ...

Their excuse to apply for planning permission to bulldoze and build all over it now ? “Times have changed”.

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 - #Merton.

December 10, 1968 — Thomas #Merton — #monk, #poet, #priest, #activist — died in Thailand while attending a conference of #Christian and #Buddhist monks. Merton lived at The Abbey of Our Lady of #Gethsemani near Bardstown, #Kentucky.
Imagine cold winter nights out in that knobby landscape and the sight of the milky way poured across a cobalt sky.
Requiescat in pace.

The #Wimbledon #community Forum meets 19.15 on 30 November at Wimbledon Library. The future of #WimbledonPark on is on the agenda. The Forum is convened on behalf of #Merton Council to engage local people in local issues. #AELTC were invited to discuss their planning application to build a massive industrial tennis comp’ex on this #MetropolitanOpenLand (ie #GreenBelt) but turned down the invitation. We’ll still be discussing it anyway #SaveWimbledonPark https://www.savewimbledonpark.org

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