Thrills and spills at Cheese Rolling 2023

Footage of the annual cheese rolling event in Brockworth, Gloucestershire, this afternoon (May 29). Dozens of thrill seekers from all over the world threw themselves down the steep Cooper’s Hill to chase a wheel of cheese. There were several injuries reported. One senior police officer said last week there was the risk of "mass casualties" if something went wrong. But the quirky event, which has no official organizers, still went ahead. It sees competitors chase a 7lb (3kg) Double Gloucester down the steep 200-yard drop, many tripping and tumbling as they go.

7 min fun video, here.

Give up, just for now,

on trying to make the world

different than it is.

Sing. Pray. Touch only those

to whom you commit your life.

Center down.

And when your body has become still,

reach out with your heart.

Know that we are connected

in ways that are terrifying and beautiful.

(You could hardly deny it now.)

Know that our lives

are in one another's hands.

(Surely, that has come clear,)

Do not reach out your hands.

Reach out your heart.

Reach out your words. 

Reach out all the tendrils

of compassion that move, invisibly,

where we cannot touch.

Promise this world you love -

for better or worse,

in sickness and in health,

so long as we shall live.
