I have just taken 3 days away from the internet and feel so much better for it. I need to do this more often. It may be therefore that I will be around here less often to post the date and comment ... but I am definitely not leaving altogether.
I have had more time to meditate, to dream, to walk, to take care of myself. It's been really good. Work has temporarily dried up so I am trying to go with the flow and enjoy the sunshine rather than fret.
Mary, I so know what you mean. I value the words and pictures and connections that the internet has brought me beyond meaasure, but really need regular time away from it, to be in the physical here and now, in my body not my head.
My meditation class last night was excellent. There are 9 of us plus teacher and it will mostly consist - 5 Monday evenings in all - of comparing our meditation experiences and questions, a lot of exercises to anchor ourselves fully in the body, a chance to articulate fears and difficulties. This has come at just the right time and will, I think, be hugely helpful.
an artist friend said he was declaring an 'electronic fast' ... tv, radio, computer ... that may be a tad extreme for me because I do love CBC public radio ...
managed 5 mins today in the sun before the wind came. builders taking a week off (Yves' mother died) and getting back in the saddle gently. also loving time away from the computer except as a writiing tool in my glade. going for morning cycle rides together...nice.

Love to all.
