Things are not what they seem!

Who am I to judge?

who are you not to be judged

It is because nothing is quite as it seems that meditation is such a must.  Imagine that you were any of the people on this page, your public image and who you are would be miles apart from one another. But supposing you really thought you were the President of France and that people knew you as just that, your failings would be hard to face up to.  You would need to find somewhere to just be your self, to be neither a celebrity or just a stupid plonker!

I hope that the Pope was making just this suggestion to Francois when they met yesterday.   After saying that they shared a patron Saint, He might have said pourquoi ne meditatez vous?,(Why don't you meditate?) after all, you are a secularist! and mon Fils, (my son), croyez moi, (believe me), les femmes resemblent les anges, (look like angels) but it is easier to live with une vraie ange, (a real angel) than one of these tricksy ones you have fallen in with.  And this is pourquoi, (why);  vous ne savez jamais qu'est ce qu'elles vraiment pensent. (what they really think!)  But for certain, they know what you are thinking.  (Another stupid plonker!)

What you really should have gone for is a good wife sans trop ambition (without too much ambition).  Mon fils, (my son) it isn't trop tard, (too late).  Find someone like Mademoiselle Goldie Hawn, (Twiggy) who, over coffee and pastries told the delegates at Davos just how le meditation (meditation) and mindfulness would help them to cope in the monde politique (hectic world of politics, power and finance).
