Hadrian’s Wall – English History

In A.D. 120, however, the incursions of the Caledonians, and some indications of unsettledness in the south, called for the presence of the emperor Hadrian. No record exists of his exploits, but from various medals it appears that he drove back the northern tribes, and constructed a rampart and ditch from the Tyne to the Solway Frith, much stronger than that made by Agricola between the Clyde and the Frith of Forth. The remains of Hadrian’s Wall still exist, and attest its massive strength. It was fortified by castles and towns at intervals. Eighteen years later (A.D. 138) in the reign of Antoninus Pius, the then governor of Britain, Lollius Urbicus, penetrated more northwards, and reconstructed Agricola’s line of defence, the remains of which are now locally known as Graham’s Dyke.

Just a simple pilgrim of life I am

A sojourner of dreams

A wayfarer of thoughts

🌑

The wonder of words is my love

The magic of music is my muse

The enchantment of art is my saviour

🌑

The unnecessity of antagonism is my adversity

The constancy of conflict is my nemesis

The abundance of intolerance is my foe

🌑

The old gnarled oak is my friend

The wise owl is my guide

The mossy battered rock is my bed

🌑

The wonders of the world never cease to amaze

I am just a simple pilgrim of life

Awareness

read on

When I read some books about meditation or mindfulness earlier. I often come across a key word – awareness. I’m curious to know what exactly awareness is. Does awareness mean knowing what I’m doing or how I feel at the moment? Is awareness a state that only guru like Yoda can get there? Am I ever aware for a nanosecond?

I find a simple answer from the book Awareness by Anthony de Mello. In Anthony’s spiritual point of view, awareness is suddenly you get another perspective on life. Wow, that sounds effortless and all of a sudden. My follow up question is: how to get there SUDDENLY?

Anthony’s 4 steps to wisdom might be the pathway to get there. From his book Awareness, he said “Put this program into action, a thousand times: (a) identify the negative feelings in you; (b) understand that they are in you, not in…
