My knees are sore from a 60 km bike ride to Carrum yesterday. The mind is relatively happy with the meditation, especially given the fatigue I feel. Thursday March 26. I change the meditation, I begin with Mark using the normal recitation, then myself using the new recitation, then Fred using the normal meditation. Mind is happy and calm. Sunday March 30. There have been a number of things happening inside me in the past week. There has been the recognition of an ... read more

I’m done with hating, Had more than enough of anger. Hated enough, Been angry enough, To know they are no answer. Seen enough love, Had enough peace, To know they are the answer. Laugh Laugh at the sunshine, Laugh at the birds, Laugh at the clouds, Laugh at the sky, Laugh because you can, Laugh because the alternative, Is tears. Once Once life was simple, Once life was black, Or white, Or yes, Or no. There was dare, Or dare not.... read more

Only a relatively short sit due to last night being uncomfortably warm. Thursday February 21. A nice hour long meditation. Early mornings are a double edged sword…. I love the peace and being able to have a meditation and still go for a ride on almost empty roads, but a series of early mornings is a killer. The mind delights in the sti... read more

No meditation for the last three days due to markets and going to help at the Hermitage. This morning the mind is dull. I use Anuruddha as my object. Wednesday February 6. A nice long sit this morning. Unfortunately I have a song in my head and eventually give in to the Veronica’s wailing of lust for a boyfriend. Before that I use Anuruddha, myself and Ollie as subjects. The mind is calm and still. If the day is quiet and relatively cool, I intend to return to the cus... read more
