Thanks Calm, I’m certainly not a leader. I’m just a regular guy who was lost for a long time, but luckily I’ve discovered I’m not all bad.
Well, the car was fixed
The centre had a small stash of soy milk which I guzzled to be honest - old habits die hard - but, hey, my car worked so I drove out to bet some more. I couldn’t sleep if I was that selfish, bad karma too as I’ve been learning.
I’m still not au fait with meditation. People’s thoughts will tend to wander. Saying that, these retreats are great. There will always be a few gloomy types - I was one for years - but these can be avoided, and you meet some great people too.
