Isn’t this a peculiar question ! ? Just three words – each of them a simple and obvious word. How can anyone spend an entire week trying to do nothing but ask this question and observe what happens?
Well that’s what I did and Chapter 7 is about my struggles and confusions over “When are you?”
I must apologise. I had it in mind that I would put up a new chapter (shortened version of each) towards the end of each month. I did quite well until last month. I was sure I had done it but looking now I see I missed July. Ah well, perhaps it was because my birthday is at the end of July (pathetic excuse). I have no excuse. But here is Chapter 7 . I look forward to hearing how you get on with this question.
Meanwhile I am off on retreat again. This time I’m going to Gaia House for a week of Zen practice with master Reb Anderson. The retreat is called “Dharma flower turning Dharma flower” (???). As ever I am part looking forward to it and part dreading it. I’ve so much work to do, the garden is lovely and needs work on it, I don’t want to sit indoors for a week and meditate all day ……
I’ll report back.
