Corinna and I went in to see Mrs Braund yesterday lunchtime. She was more alert than she had been the previous night, but still extremely unwell. We stayed about a quarter of an hour, but in my judgement, any more would be too much for her. Graham is visiting her as we speak.I will try and visit again this afternoon, and will of course let you know of any developments as soon as possible.
Do not pursue the past.
Do not lose yourself in the future.
The past no longer is.
The future has not yet come.
Looking deeply at life as it is.
In the very here and now, the practitioner dwells in stability and freedom.
We must be diligent today.
To wait until tomorrow is too late.
Death comes unexpectedly.
How can we bargain with it?
The sage calls a person who knows how to dwell in mindfulness night and day,
'one who knows the better way to live alone.'

Update 12:55 GMT. Graham went to see her about half an hour ago and reports her as being generally calm, and pain free
