\"My<\/div>\n

It was a rainy day here on Bowen Island, so I pushed around some pieces of my blog. Readers familiar with the evolution of Parking Lot over the past four years will remember that I once devoted a great deal of time to reading poetry and collecting the work of poets I admire. I have reset those collections, and you can find them on the sidebar in the “Collections of poetry<\/a>” page. The Denise Levertov collection is still one of the most popular pages on this whole site.<\/div>\n
\n

Also in the sidebar is a restoration of a page that has also been popular over the years. Forty Meditation Practices<\/a> is a small collection of forty ways to practice in four positions. No excuse now.<\/p>\n

\n

Finally, there is the page that contains links to my Webjay<\/a> playlists called simply Free Music<\/a>. There you will find the “Parking Lot Soundtrack<\/a>” to which I will now add the following track, a traditional Norwegian song hauntingly sung in a tomb by Unni L\u00c3\u00b8vlid<\/a>. Enjoy the beauty!
