Fisherman

caught two fish last night, with my hands... in a tank. Catherine and i had just arrived home with a german family who were feeding us to find that their 600 litre fish tank had just cracked :) we spent about an hour mopping the floor, sucking the water out and best of all trying to catch the fish by hand (they had no net)
all this meant that dinner was a bit late and i didnt get to go on the motor bike, but the fish was much more fun.
so tonight maybe ill go there or maybe ill go to the temple again...

catherine just left and tonight will be my last night in moshi, tomorrow moring i start my journey back to belfast, which will take 2 and a half days :) I have been reading "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho, it is a great book, about a boy who decides to follow his destiny into the unknown, leaving a shepard job in south spain to look for treasure in Egypt. Very interesting and thought provoking, also reading 1 Corinthians at the mo and the book and the bible talked about love yesterday so this is a reflection

1 john 4v7 "everyone who loves has become God's child and knows God"

love is a universal language a blessing from God for all humanity.
It is the most common experience of spirituality.
All our life we are in touch with our creator, through the love of relationships with parents, close friends and lovers,
if this is a surprise,
consider love
attempt a definition
certainly we can list the physical expression of love, but that is not it's essence
it cannot be distilled in a laboratory or comprehensively defined,
because love in an eternal, dynamic force,
the taste of heaven for all
