Entering the Silence
Happy new year, everyone! It’s so good to be back to writing here again. As I mentioned in my last entry, I went on a 4 day/3 night silent meditation retreat to bring in the new year. It was so incredibly powerful that it’s worth spending this entire entry on it. After the retreat, I […]
