The paper went great, far better than I had expected (considering I was still piecing it together at 4:30 on the afternoon of the 6pm talk). The discussion was great and thoughful and everyone had very nice things to say. It was completely unlike giving papers in America (just kidding). <\/p>\n

Tomorrow I\u2019m off to Bristol, first to Hodgkin House<\/a> (where I lived 4 years ago whilst completing my MA in Buddhist<\/a> Studies) to see at least one remaining old housemate, Jiaming. Then I\u2019m off to SJ\u2019<\/a>s, then to the Uni for a visit and who knows what else. Then back to London and then<\/span>, finally<\/span>, home again.<\/p>\n

Anywho\u2026. Lovely pics of beautiful (posh) Cheltenham soon. But for now a note from someone\u2019s email on one of those lists I\u2019m on (I\u2019m not sure how true to the original Shantideva it is, e.g. eagles for Garudas<\/span><\/a> doesn\u2019t seem good \u2013 but oh well).<\/p>\n

When crows find a dying snake,
They behave as if they were eagles.
When I see myself as a victim,
I am hurt by trifling failures.<\/p>\n
