I’ll be on vacation for the next five days.
I’m heading to a tantra workshop at a zen center on a hot springs, and just writing down that combination of words makes my shoulders relax and my body loosen. I have never been able to afford or make time for a long retreat like this before, it feels so indulgent (and grown-up), and I can’t wait. It’s been a long time coming and I know I can really use some reflection and protection time for me. It’s not going to be purely a vacation, since I have no doubt that this will bring up some deep psychological and spiritual things in me, but I’m hoping I can use it to reground, to solidify so many of the things I’ve been learning about myself in the recent past, and come back with my footing a little more certain, with just a little more of the noise filtered out.
Which would be nothing short of bliss.
I won’t be writing much here for the next week. I might be updating things like my twitter account and my flickr stream, no guarantees. Hopefully I’ll have some interesting things to share when I get back on Monday.
If you venture away from the zen center, try to have some decent green chile while you're out here! : )
Enjoy yourself – you deserve it -!
Have a good time!
Have a wonderfully restful time, Sinclair.
Sounds heavenly!
three words, friend: butch club sandwiches.
hope you made it home safely.
Bodhi Manda is an awesome place. Say hi to Hosen for “ck” if you get this!
