Lessons from the Lama

I've been poorly. Sinus grief - face being drilled by evil elves,
cough like a coal delivery falling down metal steps, the whole deal.
And I don't like medication, but I've been desperate, all right? So,
in the end, I just took everything: inhalers, pills, antihistamines,
something green that tasted of leather, and acupuncture needles in the
face. So then I didn't feel poorly, only odd.
But we had the Dalai Lama in Glasgow for four days and I couldn't miss
that, so there I was - feeling odd - and in a big Conference Shed
surrounded by thousands watching this shiny Tibetan bloke with a Tommy
Cooper laugh talking a lot about happiness and suffering (how to
approach former, escape latter) and generally being the kind of
national leader I've learned not to expect.
