Nothing Gained, Nothing Lost

Our retreat finished a couple of days ago. The week was cold, still and bright. I had a cold and at the same time managed to remain still and bright, thankfully. Now I'm resting and regaining strength to meet the coming year and all it will bring. I predict air miles.

I hope the photos inspired you to pause and reflect and to perhaps touch the mystery that is within the just sitting looking at a wall. It is a remarkable practice. Here, republished, is the road outside the monastery covered in golden light.

May our 'going on' be illuminated so.
