I am not sure if I told you already, but I finally got my acceptance letter to attend the Vipassana retreat down in Washington…the state, not the city. I am pretty sure I forgot to mention it, so now you now…and I leave in 10 days. That also means I will be busting my butt from now until then to get all my business stuff in order before I go.
Now for those of you who don’t know what a Vipassana is (and don’t worry, I didn’t before either), it is a ten day silent, meditative retreat. That means no talking. It also means no reading, no writing, no physical contact with anyone either…including hugs. Did I mention no talking? So sad. But there is a rhyme and reason for it all I am sure. At least that is what I am told.
This Vipassana retreat came highly recommended by a couple of my guy friends, who have also been through it and rave about it. Apparently you come back transformed. As long as I don’t come back as a goat I am happy. Kidding. (Double pun…LOL!)
Seriously though, from what I gather it is about letting go of the monkey-mind and finding some peace in the silence of what is. It’s about surrendering.
SERENITY NOW!
...insanity later.
