asilomar. refuge by the sea.

how long did i meditate this morning? about an hour. i didn't want to use the timer because hwubby was still asleep and we are in a room in asilomar, a retreat by the ocean. he was to give a 3 hour talk to the graduating class of a dental school right after breakfast. so the least i can do is to be quiet.


this time i decided to take as little as possible. so other than the wool asana, aum beads, ear plugs and eye patch i left the zafu, blankets and cushions behind. what would be the worst case scenario, i thought? i would sit in a chair.

as it turned out, i sat with my back against the headboard. one pillow and a pile made from blankets and the bed cover gave me all the support i needed to sit upright and comfortable.

now i'm blogging by a fire looking out to the golden lights shimmering over the ocean after a sweet walk on a spectacular beach hand in hand with hwubby.

i feel light and present.
