Surprises

Our son George grew up as a normal secular person, into weight lifting and such like. He is also given to handing out advice whether the recipient wants it or not - I can't think where it gets that habit from! But it was a real surprise when he started giving me advice on breathing techniques for meditation. In fact he has joined up with Tibetan Buddhists and expressed the intention of becoming a Buddhist monk.
 
I am used to sitting still in a chair for an hour in a Quaker meeting but at the said meditation to which George had taken me, I surprised myself by sitting cross-legged with no back support for forty five minutes.
