The Fall
Just watched Tarsem Singhs 2008 Film The Fall. The film stars Lee Pace as a bed ridden stunt man , who tells a fantastical story to a little girl who is also in hospital with a broken collar bone. It took Singh 4 years to make this movie in over 18 locations and it shows in the beauty of the scenery as the backdrop to an enchanting story line. It will not be everyone's cup of tea but I thought it was amazing. The 6 year actress Catinca Untaru was captivating. Some critics say the film drags ,I say enjoy a feast for the eyes.

Blind Donkey?
I want to start my Blog by explaining why its called Blind Donkey. For many years I have read and practised Zen . I especialy enjoy reading about Ikkyu Sojun (1394-1481) who was called Crazy Cloud. One of his Masters Lin-Chi , a fearsome and Aggresive teacher was concerned that his teachings would be transmitted by Blind Donkeys. Ikkyu called his hermitage Katsuro-an " Blind Donkey Hut". My garden shed my own little hermitage is called the Blind Donkey Shed. I will not bore u any further!
