I hope you are all ok and able to cope in the sesshins pain-free soon...... Our dear friend D. has departed for her homeland, so it's just J. and me. Thoughts are with you constantly, and I often spirit myself to sit by your side. Last night (or this morning......!) I visioned myself in an empty room, sitting on the floor facing into a corner.... don't quite know why..... but it was an attempt to help me get to sleep...... And then I was in a pebbled yard with a mauve/pink crepe myrtle in the middle with its lovely boughs outstretched towards the sunny sky and casting its shade and loveliness around. It's a glorious day here today. Got to drink in some sunshine while I hung out clothes and sipped on some coffee. Thanks for the blog/photos, as usual. Take care, my dear friend.

Yes, it's interesting how different it feels to fill a day doing lots of things compared with what we do or don't do in sesshin. At the beginning it felt impossible to me to spend 15 hours a day in sesshin for 5 days. I found that I had to forget about it to manage, although now and then I checked in with where we were up to, esp the halfway mark. I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip.Mushinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17690455470694611072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2520153519135136439.post-80013562034204355012014-05-05T22:37:33.778-07:002014-05-05T22:37:33.778-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17070972101801149061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2520153519135136439.post-69322595012683664852014-05-05T22:36:31.746-07:002014-05-05T22:36:31.746-07:00Dear Mushin,
