When we succeed - it is like we are already on, and are continuing to stay on our path.
When we fail - it is like we have veered off, and have to correct ourselves to get back onto our path. Read more
Sunday morning..
This place is beautiful, a six mile run around the local countryside this morning was great. Rolling hills, quiet roads through hamlets, views over woods, lakes, frosty fields and sheep 
Sessions look to be 07:30, 10:30, 16:30 and 19:30 - no crazy early morning wake-up!
This is a Buddhist meditation retreat, and I admit to knowing nothing about buddhism. Apparently, Buddha gave different teachings to suit different people and their individual circumstances/views/current awareness. 84,000 of them in all. Read more
