The Land Of Mel: April 2009
http://thelandofmel.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
The Land Of Mel. Monday, April 27, 2009. Episode 1: Back to Kindy. So right now i write this sitting on the couch thoroughly and utterly exhausted. No, i didn't just do a big run. No i didn't do any weights at the gym. In fact the physical activity in which i participated in today could be actually placed in the "Lazy" category. No. I have just finished a grueling three days of spiritual activity! What could that mean? The care of your life? The care of life in general? We were asked to grab the crayons ...

The Land Of Mel: On Reflection...
http://thelandofmel.blogspot.com/2011/06/on-reflection.html
The Land Of Mel. Tuesday, June 21, 2011. Yet again, feels like such a long time since i last posted! I love coming back here and reading past blogs. Its interesting to see the different places that I have been in my head! I never did write down how the second vipassana. Meditation went. It was so completely different than the other one. Why do we cling to who we used to be, or what we used to believe in. Its all used. So, although I am sure this is not the end of my struggle with who I used to be, its at...

The Land Of Mel: July 2010
http://thelandofmel.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
The Land Of Mel. Friday, July 30, 2010. Waves and calm waters. I read somewhere that life moves in waves. I guess thats true. You spend some time at the bottom for a while dreaming of the top and then little things happen and you start to move up a bit. Sometimes you climb a little way and then find yourself going back down again, and other times you suddenly and unexpectedly go up so quickly that you can't keep up! What is really interesting in this whole thing, is that while my spiritual lull continues...

The Land Of Mel. Wednesday, June 24, 2009. Episode 3 - Taking the Red Pill. Gosh it feels so good to be writing again! It has been such a busy month and i have not taken the time out to stop and write. I apologise to the 2 or 3 people who actually enjoy reading this thing, and i hope that you enjoy this installment. So, where did i leave you oh so long ago? Ah Buddhism. The way of looking at things from another perspective, the way to gain some clarity and understanding. I asked my class mates. So later ...

The Land Of Mel: Episode 6 - Vegetarianism
http://thelandofmel.blogspot.com/2010/01/episode-6-vegetarianism.html
The Land Of Mel. Thursday, January 28, 2010. Episode 6 - Vegetarianism. I wanted to write about being a vegetarian today, because it is something that has been on my mind lately. I have a feeling though, that its going to turn more into a bit of a whinge. Sometimes I even use the vipassana meditation I went to as an excuse. I know I shouldn't . I should just be open and honest. But I have noticed that a lot of people are plain rude to me about my non meat eating. So then, why don't I eat meat anymore?

The Land Of Mel: Patience is a Virtue??
http://thelandofmel.blogspot.com/2010/08/patience-is-virtue.html
The Land Of Mel. Sunday, August 8, 2010. Patience is a Virtue? To write in this thing two times in the space of only mere weeks! Writing phases i guess. This time i wanted to talk a bit about something that has been driving me crazy over the past weeks, patience! As i am moderately. As i mentioned in my last blog, i have been through waves of feeling spiritual and in tune, and not. Well i am still in the middle of a big NOT. Let alone FRETTING for something tangible. I have to WAIT FOR! Is this spiritual...

The Land Of Mel: Episode 5 - A Harsh Lesson
http://thelandofmel.blogspot.com/2010/01/episode-5-harsh-lesson.html
The Land Of Mel. Friday, January 8, 2010. Episode 5 - A Harsh Lesson. Ah the 5th episode. I dont really know what this episode is going to be about, so i am going to wing it. I have had the urge to write and instead of supressing it, i have decided to just start typing. Only question is, where the hell am i going to start? Where does it become unhealthy? Its interesting how each different person reacts differently. Some people can't even see outside the vaccum they are in. There is no talking to ...As fo...

The Land Of Mel: Yes Man
http://thelandofmel.blogspot.com/2010/12/yes-man.html
The Land Of Mel. Monday, December 27, 2010. Let me start by wishing everyone a very merry xmas, and I hope that you are surrounded by family and friends that you care about very much! It has been a very crazy time over the last six months. A lot of ups and downs, not that there is anything different about that in my life. But this time some of the lows have been really low, and have taken me to a place I have never quite been before. What if it were me? What if I were to die tomorrow? Have I loved enough?
