Two remarks:
• "Don't-know 'your' age" (gplus.wallez.name/a8bFGK7DaZJ) is the most under-rated post this month, which I suppose is mostly due to the image I chose… Don't let the image mislead you!
• "The Buddha suffered" (gplus.wallez.name/eEeAzENn9pp) got some very good comments. Read the thread to the end: don't let the disruption by pio dal cin stop you from reading the later comments!
The month finished on a 24'' video (gplus.wallez.name/UEPS4qxeZtm) in response to a life coach and writer you might want to follow if you like my posts: +Fariyal Wallez from +Let your body talk. She's not wearing the "buddhist" label, but she's definitely working on being compassionate, wise, and on helping others (first hour of coaching is free, BTW… so, if you're considering some life- or career-change, you might want to talk to her).
