so long for now, saba

today i leave "The Palace" (ha ha) again and head for the jungle highlands for 'retreat rehearsal'. i say rehearsal because the Bali Silent Retreat Centre does not run structured vipassana retreats as such, but rather provides space, yoga and meditation instruction, glorious organic food, lodgings, and Silence. one can make of this support what one will... and EAT food after 12 noon!!! (pretty happy about that divergence from strict tradition!!) they also offer evening talks on a wide variety of topics, including indigenous herbcraft and medicine, cultural traditions, etc.
anyway, i shall be off the grid this week, my wee hints of insights over the past few weeks providing excellent fodder for this turn Inward. i will do my very best to make the most of this time, to clear still more cobwebs and ancient dustbunnies from mind and heart, and endeavor to face what arises openly and with compassion.
peace out.
