MaryJane ....

It has indeed been a great day.   Lots of meditation, both sitting and walking...usually the weather doesn't cooperate and we have to do walking meditation in a circle in a rather tight space.   But today the sun shone so we did all our walking meditation outside, which was absolutely glorious!

There is much to learn at these retreats, and even altho i only attended one day, it has been so rich and enlightening.    I love when i tell some people i'll be attending a meditation retreat and their response is something like....oh that must be so relaxing and wonderful!   well relaxing isn't a word i would use.    It can be a struggle meditating for an hour or more.....you're dealing with your mind after all!   So many wonderful conversations and revelations.....so even altho it might not be relaxing it is always very rich!

Here is MaryJane, our very own 'real' Buddhist Nun!  

Now it's time for a bit of 'relaxing' - in other words, glass or 2 of wine, the feet up, with my lovely man - watching the telly!

All is well at Big Hill.
