This afternoon when we were out in the car we gave way to a school girl who wanted to cross in front of us. First she bowed to acknowledge the offer then walked briskly across the road and then turned and bowed again in the direction of the car. This, apparently, is relatively normal behaviour for young school children.
Earlier Edera, Iain's wife, saw this Haiku on the side of the road:
If you hold the wheel
With the Buddha Mind
No accident will happen.
