It is so good to be in silence and darkness, apart from everything, which distracts us. I often think about bad habits lately, and how they are ego tricks to keep us from being as good as we can. How difficult it is, to let go of them. BEcause we feel more familiar in them, than we feel without them. Does that make sense? I wish you a beautiful sunday, Linda, and I hope, we will meet in person one day. xxxlobedentaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17844472462306740449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3756088967181277013.post-4557037780674901092017-10-14T06:26:26.267-07:002017-10-14T06:26:26.267-07:00Beautiful reminder Susanne.

It is amazing how a subtle piece of "advice" can lodge into the psyche and be pulled out when you are ready to need it :-) Years ago, I did a dark retreat at Serenity Ridge for only 5 days. Those who are not familiar with this kind of retreat thought that they could never sit in the total darkness for that long. I loved it. What I most remember from the experience was that the dark did not frighten me, but the flashes of light I saw from time to time did.....<br />linda lainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08224451226752830284noreply@blogger.com
