Kathy and I are leaving today for a five day meditation retreat. I will not be posting to the blog (except for this) until next weekend.
One thing that I think it will be interesting to comment on once I return is the fact of my anxiety and resistance I am feeling now in anticipating the retreat. It seems to me that the small mind (or ego, or whatever we are calling it these days) is resisting the loss of control that is implied by the retreat experience. Its comfort zone is that delusion of control my daily experience seems to reinforce.
Stay tuned....

If I were in your place, I'd be seeing that anxiety and resistance as a sign that meditation is needed.
