We had to cancel the Mindfulness walk on Hampstead Heath this morning. I must say I wasn’t too fussed. Or rather, I was pretty fussed…about not going. It seems to me once you start doing things in categories you’re getting things wrong. Once you start using the word spirituality, you can be pretty sure you’re going about things in the wrong way. If you are making a separate category for things spiritual, you are probably seeing the rest of your life wrong. I saw a woman with a coat daubed with many virtue words when we were in Tooting and Balham, which was where we ended going. They said things like Just Be Real and Be Kind, exhortations to virtue. Pretty unbearable too, I find. You would expect modern people to be paragons of niceness these days, wouldn’t you? I assure you, they are not.
