a bright daff on a misty day!

Up at 6.30am to attend the beginning of the retreat - the monastics are basically duplicating the way they begin their day at the Abbey! 7 - 8 am they did meditation and chants. It was quite wonderful to listen and read along with their chants. after that i decided to just lie down for a moment....the full program would begin at 9am! I awoke at 10am!!!!

So i missed a quite a bit, but i really needed to catch up on sleep! I love that i got nothing but support when i finally entered the meditation room.

Lunch is ready!
