30 something English teacher

The blog of a 30 something ESL teacher. It might not at first seem rational - but it is.

Meditation singing bowl from Northern Thailand

https://youtu.be/j9yoBXc8dOw

Listen to the sound,
Like a continuous bell
Coming down from the peaks
Of Doi Sutep mountain
That stops the mind
And makes the listener still.

Listen to the way
The single peal
Splits into two
Oscillates in harmony
Jars the ear
Allows the duality of its tone
To make the listener realise
That there is really only one
And there is no listener here

About this blog

This blog was originally supposed to be A Year in the Life of a TEFL Teacher. I was going to go to Thailand, have a good time, keep a diary and - 12 months later, I would have a book. So I did – but there was little to do with TEFL teaching in it. Instead, Thai girls with all their exotic beauty, sexuality and deception hijacked it and were the main subject. Well, guess you could say it was partly/mostly my own fault... But who cares? It is the journey, not the destination that counts…

Several years later and finances have forced me back to the UK. This blog has continued to follow my attempts at teaching English as a second language here and also to preview my first novel Nowhere Children Inc.
