saturday was an experience
of silence and meditation
shared and supported by
eleven friends with diverse histories.
stumbling into this practice
for various reasons,
some arrived to relieve the constant pain,
while others came out of fear
the craziness would return,
and perhaps a few were there
due to a deep question dwelling within.
one was there to point the way.
we all came
because of a realization that
we couldn’t change the world
to fit our view
and that we have no choice
but to accept this moment
and awaken to our
inherent and true nature.
by the end of the retreat
we all attained
this point.
