Yesterdays walk around the lake at Sandown, started with a short sitting meditation linking with the Trafalgar sit in London being led by Thich Nhat Hanh. During the walk around the lake two injured Coots were taken away by the RSPCA to be assessed for treatment. It was good to see the valuable work the RSPCA representatives do first hand. Whilst walking there was plenty to experience around the lake and on it, the sound of the dry reeds shaking in the breeze, the waterfowl moving and calling to each other, the children and adults playing on the equipment in the park and the waves lapping on the shore. In the more shrubby areas children were playing amongst the trees riding their scooters and expressing their freedom to roam. There were daffodils, daisies and other plants to admire, trees with glossy buds about to burst, and pussy willow, dangling tassels and pale,young leaves, pollen for insects. A chill in the air, and a sombre sky still bought rich rewards.
