"Go look out for the man with as many noses as there are days in the year

mary robinson 1918b , a photo by caledonianpark on Flickr. Grandma used to tell me on this day that I had to "Go look out for the man with as many noses as there are days in the year .." Just as she used to tell my mother and her mother before her told her ... thought it was a Geordie tradition ... apparently also a Catalan legends. Home dels nassos is translated as "Man of the noses". On New Year's Eve, this man walks the streets and has as many noses on his face as days the year has ... lol

An auspicious Buddhist painting as 2013 draws to a close.

‘You must live and face these unbearable difficulties.’ Dalai Lama

interview with the Dalai Lama By Amy Kazmin I arrive in Dharamsala, the Indian home of Tibet's exiled spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, groggy after an overnight train journey from New Delhi and a two-hour drive into the Himalayas. The weather is grey and drizzly but the mood is festive as crowds flock to Tsuglagkhang Temple, where the Dalai Lama is giving a three-day public teaching on a 14th-century Buddhist text about the path to enlightenment.
